Top Review: “We were visiting old Alexandria and we stopped this café for breakfast. They have excellent food and service. This was the best Avocado toast I have had! The flavors were absolutely delicious with the homemade grain bread and cream cheese. The appearance of food displays care about the food they deliver. I got the avocado toast without cucumbers, we also ordered a ham and cheese breakfast croissant, and a piece of marble bread. The avocado toast looked so good I could not wait to take a bite. We will be back!” – Tracy B.

Menu: The Secret Garden Cafe Menu
Top Review: “The secret garden cafe is one of the best secrets to keep! It’s absolutely adorable and the food is delicious! The lump crab cakes were fresh and faired well with the sides. The mashed cauliflower was so creamy that I didn’t miss potatoes at all. The home fries could have used a tad bit more seasoning and maybe onions and peppers. The Vermont French toast was epic! From the bread to the sauce to the roasted nuts, syrup was NOT needed! I’m a southern girl, so I’m particular about my grits so I was a little skeptical about the vegetarian grit cake my girlfriend ordered, who’s vegetarian but I was wrong! The seasonal vegetables were fresh and paired well with the moist grit cake. The mimosas were divine!” – Nekeyta N.

Top Review (Preach!): “Listen to me. I do NOT like grits. Milk and Honey changed that for me. Came as a group of 5 from Indianapolis on business. Black owned and the BEST meal we’ve had thus far! I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of cheese eggs. Chicken was perfect… fried hard on the outside but tender within. Waffles amazing! Eggs were the perfect amount of cheesy and fluffy. Friend of mine got the salmon and grits and I was instantly jealous!! The atmosphere was laid back with the R&B to match! Kitchen was cleaner than ya uncle on Easter Sunday you hear me??!!” – Bishop L.

Top Review: “Nestled right in Old Town Alexandria, this super cute place serves ORGANIC FOOD. So not only is it healthy, but delicious. Due to recent covidy times. They now have a window in the side that you order from. I appreciate businesses that take the customers health into consideration. So back to the food, I always get their egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. This sandwich is soo good and savory and not your typical basic breakfast sandwich. It has hot sauce and sauerkraut in it.. yum. Dont knock till you try it.” – H M.
