Editorial Review for Mother's Cafe & Garden – by Kellie Bledsoe
In Short
Whether you're a vegetarian or not, Mother's Cafe is a destination. The large booths and sounds of clinking flatware give the ambience of a well-established diner with the fresh fare of a cafe. Regulars enjoy the "garden" out back--private tables in an atrium filled with plants and a trickling fountain. The extensive menu offers lots of pastas and stir-fries, plus barbecue tofu and a spinach-mushroom enchilada with fresh veggies and your choice of sauces.

horrible. thats it... one word. HORRIBLE. over priced and bland. i ordered a tempeh sandwich and i dont even think it was cooked. anyone who knows anything about tempeh knows that its got to be steamed or boiled for at least 20 min or your body has a hard time digesting it. it seems more like a place to be seen or something for trendy dieters who know nothing about vegan or vegetarian cuisine to go. very unimpressive. not to mention my wife got "sick" there about 3 years ago. how do you get "sick" at a vegetarian restaurant? leave this place for the trendies if you actually know anything about a veggie diet.

Upon entering the restaurant, i smelled the amazing aroma of pancakes and waffles. I saw many an eggs benedict and plates full of delicious migas on the way to our table. The layout of the house is so quaint and aesthetically pleasing, casual yet chic. I ordered a field green salad with grilled goat cheese, granny smith apples and homemade rasberry vinagarette...which was soo good. I also has a cup of veggie soup straight out of the garden and a jalepeno cheddar cornbread muffin...yummm. My father got a waffle, which was ok,,,but his cheese grits were delicious. A table close to ours got an order of french toast which turned out to be what i smelled when i first arrived...I know what ill be ordering next time. Love this place, plesent setting, music, people...highly recomended. Don't get the waffles, they were just ok, as waffles often are. I wouls recomend an eggs benedict, migas or the french toast...and cheese grits for sure.
