"First time stopping at Garden Carver after hearing about it online! From the outside, you are greeted with a beautiful decorated & adorable tiny cafe! You can tell from entering they put a lot of thought into the vibe. It is cozy, welcoming & just beautiful. Their display of stunning vegan pastries catch your eye. A large display case of vegan meats & cheeses & quick grab items - all looked amazing. But what I really came for was their breakfast croissant sandwich. It was SO good! It was made fresh & you can tell it’s quality ingredients. The croissant was so crispy & flakey. The egg, sauce, buttery onions, cheese & bacon just completed it. I’ve tried a lot of vegan breakfast sandwiches & this is top tier! This place is worth the hype. Really amazing vegan - everything here! Don’t skip on the breakfast croissant- it’s THAT good!"

"Stopped in to warm up and get a latte and a pastry. I wish I had found this spot earlier in my trip! The latte was great and the chocolate chip croissant was delicious. Will def be back the next time I’m in New York to get a full meal. Thank you!"

"Amazing breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burrito meatball sub, and the best vegan fried chicken you have ever had! The food is sooooo good"

"So excited about this place! Delicious coffee, beautiful pastries, and vegan & plant-based cheeses and meats galore. The inside is really cute with a number of tables and they also have a few tables outside. The coffee is delicious - we got a soy mocha and oat cappuccino but would love to come back and try their multiple specialty flavors, including campfire s’mores. The chocolate chip cookie croissant was amazing! I will definitely be back to try their savory food and more pastries. Very excited to have another 100% vegan place in Brooklyn."

"I used to give this place 5 stars — their vegan chicken wings are truly the best in NYC . But every time I order one of their sandwiches, the experience just doesn’t live up. The bread is always dry and lacking substance, and there’s never enough sauce to balance it out. I paid $18 for a sandwich that looked beautiful in the photo but ended up feeling soulless and hard to enjoy. I had to keep drinking something just to make it go down easier. This is my fifth time here, and I’ve tried all their sandwiches. My honest suggestion: improve the quality of the bread, or at least offer a mayo or sauce on the side so we can add it ourselves. I keep saying I won’t order the sandwich again, but I always gave it another chance — I really wanted to love it. But now I’m done. I won’t be ordering the sandwiches anymore — unless I get one for free to see if things have changed. I’ve already spent too much money here trying to give them a fair shot."
