Still thinking about this place over a year later. The food tasted so fresh and the garden/greenhouse was dreamy. Very good atmosphere here but it is a but expensive
A uniquely magical place. The food and drinks are delicious with locally sourced ingredients. The atmosphere is lush and clearly well thought out. We had a great brunch to the sounds of a live harpist. We will be back when in town to try other menu items!
Excellent lunch with a friend. The Tarragon Chicken Salad was delicious and not too strongly seasoned. Just right. The Lavender Lemonade was refreshing and bright purple! Beautiful! The decor - plants, flowers, and bright colors. Love it!
This place is hands down the restaurant gem of Cooperstown. My husband and I came for the weekend for work and tried other spots, but no restaurant compared to Origins. We came for brunch on Sunday and they had a live harpist playing. It compliments the dining space well with hanging plants and citrus trees surrounding you while you eat. Our waitress (Madeleine) was attentive and warm, even with a room full of customers. The food is absolutely outstanding. A changing daily menu with local, organic food. Everything together made for an amazing experience from start to finish. We got their pear French toast bake, along with a chai smoothie and a breakfast panini and organic coffee. Everything tasted fantastic! Wish I could give this place 10 stars! I was so impressed. My advice - get a reservation beforehand. We were so glad we did, it was very busy (for good reason!) We will definitely be back on the next work trip!
Absolutely the most incredible atmosphere I’ve ever experienced from FL to NY. It’s like eating in the Garden of Eden.....and every thing you see is for sale.
Such a cute place, makes you feel like you are on a tropical island! There are flowers and plants everywhere, the staff is friendly and the food tasty inexpensive. A must-visit!
The absolute best place to get married. I cannot say enough about how special Origins Cafe is. They are SO SO kind and are so skilled at making your vision come to life. Incredible food/drinks/atmosphere/people!
This place is an absolute gem in Cooperstown! We didn’t have reservations (risky, I know!), but we were lucky to be seated outside on a beautiful day. I ordered the Carefree Panini—scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, basil pesto, cheddar, grilled on French peasant bread—and it was absolutely fantastic, made with high-quality ingredients! My husband had the quiche and enjoyed it as well. They also serve alcoholic beverages here. I can’t wait to return now that they’re open for the season—especially to sit inside the greenhouse, which looks lovely! I highly recommend making a reservation since this is a popular spot. Also, plan to arrive early if you’re driving; parking is limited, though they do have a helpful parking liaison to guide guests. They also have two adorable golden retrievers that roam the property!
