Atmosphere could be better and the smoothies were not that great. Cleanliness was questionable

An oasis in the city. I'm kind of mad at myself for not giving this place a chance sooner. Good good, good coffee, beautiful atmosphere, reasonable prices, friendly service. I'll be back again and again.

This is a little heaven in east village. The garden is so cool and all employees are so welcoming and friendly.All dishes I’ve tried so far where so good too and I heard my neighbor table calling their meal the “best meal ever”.The only change that I would love would be no plastic cups or containers.It’s so much waste and drinking matcha out of a nice class or cup and eating acaii out of real bowls is just a different feeling and it fits the vibe way more. <3Love this placeAnd maybe lil cocktail nights or mini events ? ;)))Like semi healthy cocktails after learning there or enjoying a Hugo there wow

Wonderful outdoor café, very quiet and lovely ambience. Great for a coffee or a glass of wine and a book, or to get some work done.

Beautiful decor and set up with a garden but the food is not excellent. Stay away from the avocado toast, the avocado was not ripe and no seasonning. Go for the flatbreads! It’s a little overpriced for the quality of the food and service at the cashier.Also note this place is no longer plant based in case you planned to go for that reason. Only a couple plant based options left. Too bad because this place has so much potential.. I will give them another chance later.

They are open on Sundays! Went in on a Sunday afternoon for an iced matcha. It was $8 including tip. The vibe is very relaxing and they have a great garden in the back. This would be a great place to work or get together with friends. They have many coffee/drink options as well as food.
Lucked out to have found Luz Cafe on its first day of opening! Unbeatable neighborhood gem with a lovely owner, great coffee and pastry, not to mention the gorgeous garden that’s a true urban oasis

This is not a vegan restaurant, not even vegetarian. Only 2 stated vegan options on the menu. Horrible service. The food was mediocre at best.

I attended a private event there. The poor waitress was brand new and alone which was shocking. She ran herself ragged, poor lady doing her best to handle a sizeable group by herself. She did her best and kudos to her, but the restaurant should have provided two servers.The flat bread is delicious and I liked the burger dwluxe as well. I had the GF bun which is definitely made in house and seemed very healthy. I'd try the regular bun next time. They didn't have ketchup for the fries and I couldn't get any other sauce for dipping. My main complaint really is that sitting by the folding doors which were not latched into the closed position made my food cold very quickly due to the draft. My companion and I dined with our coats on. These issues all could have been dealt with easily if there was more staff on hand. I'd give them another shot, because I enjoyed the food.

Had a really good time and made it in for the veganuary prefix menu!The kale soup was very fresh and had the perfect balance of vegan sausage to it (i say this as someone who normally doesn’t like fake meat)I got the artichoke flatbread and my husband got the pesto flatbread. Both were the perfect amount of food. The flatbread itself was surprisingly chewy and light for being gluten free. It worked well with both spreads and the house made almond ricotta added the perfect fluffy balance.The tarts for dessert were a great size to round out the meal.The flatbreads were definitely the highlight of the night. But I hope to come back and try others or maybe the lasagna that looks so good!

Excellent vegan food with great ambience and friendly staff. I would highly recommend. We’re looking forward to returning when it’s warm enough to sit in their lovely garden!
Love Luz!! Best garden in the East Village
