Food and Zen in One

This place was amazing. Dining in a garden nursery was relaxing and was met with delicious food. The vegetable panini was made vegan with the lemon dill hummus and the lemonade made my day. Highly recommend stopping into Origins.

Pros: Delicious vegan and non vegan for all , Friendly staff, Beautiful atmosphere in the spring

Magical

Eating inside a greenhouse? Magical. Gorgeous unique restaurant with SO many vegan options. The Paloma cocktail was wonderful. I only wish I had room for desert. ❤️ Would definitely come back if I’m ever in the area.

Lovely!

We ate on the patio next to a fountain. We shared the sweet potato soup, and it was amazing! I had a tagine over cous cous; it was very good, but a little heavy for my delicate stomach. My partner had the Middle Eastern plate, and he loved it. The lemon-berry cake for dessert was the best part of an amazing meal! (Every dish had an edible flower too!)

Love the serenity!

Some good vegetarian and vegan options for appetizers, main course, and deserts. I opted for the black bean and sweet potato burger. Yummy!

A cafe in a greenhouse, literally

Beyond thrilled with my experience at Origins. What a great find in the middle of upstate NY.

Origins is a food truck parked at a greenhouse, the meeting of the natural world before it appears on a plate, and afterwards. The vibe is ethereal and zen, with a true forest of plants surrounding you, spiritual indian music playing over the speakers, while dining on fresh and local foods. I had the sweet potato black bean chili with a iced chai tea and was very pleased. A side of vegan gluten free bread was the icing on top.

If you're looking to escape and relax with good food and good closing, this is your place. A must visit.

Pros: Ambiance, environment, and feel of the cafe, Service super friendly

Cons: Menu the size of their food truck..., Only open seasonally (it is outdoors...)
