Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ingredient Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped in to try the newly opened Planted Organic Cafe in Melrose not too long after they opened and tried a Go Green Smoothie and it was so delicious! Fresh ingredients and really liked seeing the exact ingredients my smoothie would include. Staff was super friendly and I really hope this place sticks around for a while! Will stop in frequently for a smoothie going forward. Highly recommend giving Planted Organic Cafe a shot and support local businesses!

Harney and sons tea, smoothies and bowls, and baked goods made with quality ingredients. This is a peach, blackberry scone. I think they also have sandwiches but I could be wrong.

I love the tahini smoothie and planted power wrap. It is my go to. Today I had the berry bliss smoothie, which I enjoyed! I had the chickpea salad sandwich, which was delicious but it could have been amazing with more chickpea salad in it. The desserts are the best.

Good Acai bowl. Good proportions or all toppings to acai and good quality ingredients. They use ceremonial matcha for their matcha latte. Have to go back and give more items a try.
