I’ve been here a few times but this was my first time ordering from the cafe. Great plant selection at reasonable prices. The cookie and latte hit the spot. Definitely worth checking out.

Been a fan of Plant and People for years, even before they opened their new and improved space! Vibes are immaculate, plant variety and health are always top tier, staff is knowledgeable about their inventory and the coffee bar is delicious. Plants, beverages, it checks all the boxes for a serene space and a shopping destination.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience it was when we stepped into the establishment. Immediately, we were enveloped in a sense of calmness, surrounded by beautiful exotic plants and a diverse selection of products from local black business owners. I instantly felt at home in this welcoming environment. As I sipped on my mushroom coffee, I couldn't help but marvel at the rich and robust flavor. While I don't often indulge in mushroom coffee, the calming and health benefits it offers have piqued my interest. The affordability of the coffee was a pleasant surprise, especially considering the generous portion size I received for around seven dollars. The golden milk I tried was truly soothing, with a gentle warmth and a hint of pepper flavor. The combination of turmeric, ginger, cardamom, and a touch of vanilla created a delightfully flavorful beverage for the soul. Despite the ongoing renovations following a fire on the second floor, one of the owners remained positive and optimistic about the future of the space. My conversation with her was inspiring, as she shared her determination to overcome challenges and emerge stronger than ever. It was clear that they were dedicated to providing exceptional service and products to their customers. For those planning to visit around 5 PM for a bite to eat, it's advisable to call ahead as items often sell out quickly. The use of the Good To Go app for ordering fresh pastries and products proved to be convenient and efficient. Despite the ease of finding parking, I did encounter some challenges with the meter and the app for payment. It only allowed for 15-minute increments and was somewhat glitchy, so it's something to keep in mind for future visits.
