Origins Cafe - Cafe in Cooperstown - 558 Beaver Meadow Rd, USA

May the Origins Cafe forever bloom and grow so that my Taste Buds and I can visit time and time again. The Origins Cafe is a restaurant set inside a greenhouse.My Taste Buds and I really enjoy the eclectic collection of plants and trees and shrubs and vegetation that surrounds us as we dine. To top it off, we sat at a table by one of the mini water fountains. I personally enjoy the eclectic décor of the Origins Cafe. It's whimsical and artsy and chic all at the same time. Even the diners bring a certain eclectic vibe to the dining experience. My other Taste Buds appreciate the delicious foods and the way the kitchen plates the dishes (especially the signature flower that is present on almost, if not every plate). We all love that they source the food they serve with organic foods from local farms and their own gardens. Origins Cafe is a seasonal restaurant, so if you can't get there by the end of October, then better luck next year. I would also call ahead and check if reservations are needed. By the way, if you have a plant, shrub, tree, etc. that you like while you are dining, you can take it home with you for a price. We, Taste Buds, gathered, experienced, and now share this place with you. We love it here, and now you get to decide too. Enjoy your visit and don't forget to Love on Purpose!

A wonderful sanctuary to rejuvenate. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever, and I love coming in the summer with friends. The food is beautiful in presentation and flavor. I've tried most standard items on the menu, but the menu is ever changing because of what is locally in season. Some of my favorites are the strawberry or lavendar lemonade, the masala chai, foccia board, the enchiladas, the carefree panni, the chocolate torte, the carrot cake and the cheesecake. It's not quick service, so expect to spend an hour or two, especially when with a large group. But who minds spending a couple hours in a greenhouse? I never do.

Delicious food in a unique atmosphere. All the plants around you are for sale. Plan to spend some time enjoying your experience as the food takes 20 to 30 minutes to be served. They are always busy in the summer so reservations are a good idea.

This place is a hidden gem. It was the perfect place to celebrate my husband's birthday. The staff was really friendly and energetic. Lively environment with music in the background.

There is not enough space here to write all of the pleasantries I would like to write, and without giving too much away from the experience, it is an ambiance that should be experienced when you need that calm space to experience with good people, good food, and the spa like charm, with a little magic.

Absolutely amazing. The ambience was superb. We were surrounded by beautiful plants. It felt like we were dining in a greenhouse. The food was delicious. Best carrot cake ever.

It's stunning place!!!! This place far exceeded my expectations. I thought, I will have an organic food at a small restaurant in the greenhouse and hike in lake nearby. But I was amazedx10000 by the food and staff here and everything they planned and settled delicately. I even thought that if I became part of nature, I would feel like this. It is the most impressive and amazing restaurant I have ever visited.

Delicious food, nice location, friendly staff and beautiful setup. Their soup of the day, coconut and carrot soup was absolutely delicious. I support their purpose and hope more people visit this place to do the same.
