I wanted to like this place more so I'll start with the good stuff; the potatoe salad was yummy, the koi pond water feature was clean and it was nice to get a complimentary extra plate with our meal because we shared our veggie burger. But where it falls apart is in the glassware because they use old school big paper cups and the layout of the garden areas. It just feels like someone's disorganized back yard. And all the chairs look like they picked them up off the side of the road because after it fell off the back of a truck on the way to the dumpster. Gross. Definitely sit inside or under the awning by the water feature. I don't know, maybe I am picky.

Garden setting and outdoor tables. We sat under shady area. Great smoothie and quality ingredients! Friendly staff and good service. Relieved to know you can find organic products and vegan options.

We have just recently started the process of going vegan. We also came here on our honeymoon so we were prepared to eat our normal omnivore meals but we were pleasantly surprised to find this place. The food was great! Healthy, filling, and nice to look at. The staff was kind. The place also looked so beautiful. The koi and garden were such a great part of the experience

The ambiance here is so unique. It is a place with coy ponds, bamboo, tree frogs, and waterfalls. Picnic benches and outdoor lounges. The gift shop is best with Authentic clothing, scented oils and soaps, and decor. Just a really nice vibe. Stop by even if you don't like tofu.

I could live here. Of all the fancy places you can eat on the gulf coast, this understated cafe was a big surprise for us. It doesn’t look like much from the road but the gift shop and outdoor areas that include a koi pond were the best vibe out there. The smoothies and quesadilla were delicious and you could tell they were made with fresh, quality ingredients. Service was great as well!

I couldn’t love this place more. This was my first visit to this cafe, but it definitely won’t be the last. The employee that I worked with was so kind and helpful, the gardens are stunning, and the food was delicious.I couldn’t get over the atmosphere. It is absolutely the place to go when you need to let your mind rest. There are paths that lead to koi ponds, benches, little gardens, etc, and places to sit and eat (or just enjoy) throughout the whole place. I can’t wait to come when it’s a bit warmer to see what other flowers will be in bloom.I had the ahi tuna tacos with mango salsa and I loved them. The Noli South dragonfruit and hops kombucha is one of the best I’ve ever tasted.

Since I am in town, had to stop by my favorite oasis for my Green Goddess smoothie. This time around a guest was playing on the piano. Didn't realize there was a room of instruments that anyone can play. The people working are so nice too.

Its a beautiful,serene coffee shop in the midst of Panama city beach traffic chaos.This Cafe would make a beautful venue for family reunions and Weddings. While they are kinda overpriced they had some great coffee,sweetened with Tupelo honey,because they do not have anything artifical to sweeten it. They offer healthy food options like scrambled eggs,oatmeal with fruit and they do have vegan and gluten free options if that is a nutrition preference for you. The service was great,the owner is very friendly. They also have a onsite joga studio and a small store that sells homemade soaps and,tea and jewelry It is a busy area so be careful getting in and out that parking lot.Vegetarian options: Vegan muffins,tofuDietary restrictions: Gluten free candy bars,muffins,breadParking: Might be difficult getting a spot and pulling iut during peak times,due to locationKid-friendliness: Large garden in the back,so plenty of fun for kidsWheelchair accessibility: The building is on level grpund and has no stairs,except for the back patio,it is very accessible for wheelchairs for the most part

Wonderful gem in Panama City Beach! So nice to have so many vegan options at this spot. Its a fun area with multiple little "spots" you can eat at peacefully. I included a video from the table we were sitting at.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan friendly. There is some meat on the menu still, but it is definitely catered towards plant eaters.
