“Stumbled upon this place while looking for a local coffee business to support. SO happy to find a vegan restaurant here in Springfield but even more happy to find they were absolutely delightful in every way imaginable! Great coffee and even better food, like holy wow! The ladies working were an absolute pleasure to deal with and offered to help me walk my large order to my vehicle since I was parked far away. Phenomenal biscuits and gravy and sausage and egg biscuit, unfortunately I think I was too late for any pastries as they seem to have been cleaned out but I think that’s pretty telling in itself, I can’t wait to come back for more. Sure hope this place sticks around, it’s a total gem and I’m so very happy to have found it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend to everyone!Vegetarian options: Full vegan restaurant but delicious enough for everyone, even if you’re not on a plant based diet, I suggest giving it a try!“

“Truly delicious desserts, especially the Opera cake- well soaked in coffee and great texture and freshness. ?There is also a good selection of hot teas.But it’s hard to spend time there with a little kid because they don’t have high chairs or a changing table in the restroom, I had to change my baby’s diaper while holding her in my arms.“

“By far the best Mexican food we've had since we moved from California! The conchas are amazing and the Tamels are delicious, tacos are amazing and flavorful. The horchata is delicious, seriously you just need to try though this place. The staff is super friendly highly recommended!“

“The food is out of this world and the people are very friendly! However it does not feel like they want you to stay. There's no napkins available outside of the one they give you with your meal which is a problem with the deliciously messy food they have. There is very limited seating and the seating there is is an awkward height, hard, uncomfortable and you can't sit across from people, only next to them, which there's not much room for that either. They could also use some decorations in their windows. Hopefully as they grow they'll get a better designer and some more napkins because the food really is amazing!“

“It was a great day at Gardeners Orchard. We brought our entire school and faculty with some parents. The slide was a huge hit- the apple blaster was popular. We ate our lunches at the picnic tables and bought lots of apple cider slushies. The little children enjoyed the jump pad and corn pile. We also enjoyed having Isaac take us on a farm tour. Thank you Gardeners for a great place for Rocky Ridge school fall outing!“
