Visiting this place was different

Terracotta now has a new location and a totally different theme.  The miracle of nature is in full effect at this plant cafe because, ya see, it’s full of vegetation.

Shrub, greenery, flora… oh my!

When you enter look to your right and you’ll see a wall full of foliage and a wooden chaise lounge sitting at the bottom of it looking like it all belongs in an uptown community garden.

Looking at the hanging plants coming from down from the rafters I noticed one that looked like a large platter, holding two plants, not just one.  

If you want to buy a potted plant, a hanging plant or a plant close to resembling an indoor jungle tree stop by here to browse. You can even order a plant like you would a pizza and get it delivered!

The Café is something special

Potted vines sat at the top of coffee bar and hung down through lights. A double fountain of rough marble pillars, near the window, reminded me of what they found on the moon in the movie 2001, trickling water down into a rock garden.

The sound of the tranquil fountain made me notice how quiet it was in this café. Nothing like the other ones you find up Pearl St. There were no cell phone beeps, no loud people talking about their life no entrepreneurial ideas being spouted and talked about. Just peace, quiet and plant life even with the funky hip hop music coming from behind the café bar.

What a great place to just be! I thought to myself, sitting there at one of the many small tables with a white marble styled top and one large iron leg resembling more the 1920s than the 2020s.

Order a drink and take it all in

The café bar serves coffee, tea, elixirs, sparkling water and then there was Wild Monkey Chocolate and a donut brand I want to try next time from their small cooler.

Off the menu I ordered the Geometry, bean coffee brewed just for me in one of those Chemex brewers.

The barista, who said he was also the owner, talked to me casually about how it was not sacred geometry, but I think with all the plants around this place you can always be reminded of fractals, can ya dig?

What else happened there?

A dog was asleep on a cot, napping under a table of plants for sale, not interested at all in greeting any of the customers. There were just a few patrons who browsed through the store carrying a small metal basket by their side where they could place their succulents to buy and bring home.

Hanging plant supplies, planters, pots, plant holders, plant tables, fabric plant skirts and even plant jars are some of the things you can find here. Postcards, stickers and mugs were sold at the cash register like most stores around here have been prone to do.

What’s the take away?

Unique and wonderful is the only way to describe Terracotta plant café on Pearl. The place is definitely a café experience you will surely enjoy because of its fabulous green and clean atmosphere.
