Stopped in after so many friends have recommended this spot and my god, it did not disappoint! Quite literally stumbled across it, but it's adorable inside and out! The Tipsy Nic and Newbomb wrap were great! Amazing food and the shop vibe was on point. Can't wait to go back!

Sandwiches are made to order. Bring your appetite. The sandwiches are huge.

Best Italian sandwich I've ever had and that's not an exaggeration or impulse claim. The seeded bread they use is unreal. I got a chicken cutlet and it was perfectly prepared. Not too thick & crusted just right. They also created a really cool ambiance in there with plenty of room to sit inside and an outside patio.<br><br>You can tell they take great pride in what they're doing in there. I'm not much of a "review creator," but I was so blown away I felt compelled to share the experience I had. Highly recommend giving this place a shot!

The Secret Garden has such great food, is a nice place to sit and eat and has great service. My favorite thing on the menu that I tried was the eggplant sandwich called the 15A. It was delicious ! I also got a side a fries which I loved. Oh and did I mention the coffee ? They have such great monthly flavors. My favorite of this month is the Rice Krispy coffee called "RICE" to meet you. Overall it is a very great place to go to for food with friends and family.
