Such a cute little place in downtown Lebanon. An unexpected surprise for a plant based family. I love all the plants around the inside of the cafe and nicely decorated. They locally source a lot of their ingredients/products. Service was okay. There were at least four people working and we were the only ones in the restaurant for most of our visit but received little attention and not too friendly. I had the greenhouse melt made vegan and really enjoyed the sandwich. Sandwiches come with a pickle. We got our son the vegan grilled cheese and some kettle chips. He didn't eat much of the sandwich but only because it's sourdough which is quite hard and he's only three. My husband and I both tried it and it was good. It was thin and not overly cheesy which is nice for kids. My husband got the lentil soup and tempeh nuggets. He said the soup was okay but didn't care for the tempeh buffalo nuggets. I tried one and agree, they weren't very good. The tempeh was mushy, the breading soft, and they came out barely warm. He had a local beer and I tried the avocado margarita. Drink was pretty good. I probably wouldn't order it again simply out of preference of not loving frozen drinks. Ot had the consistency of a smoothie because of the avocado. We got some chocolate chunk cookies to go, my son and husband enjoyed them. Bit pricey at $7 for two average sized cookies They looked to be made by another local vendor. If we're ever in the area again we may revisit and give it another try due to the plant based options. We spent over $70 on a meal for two adults and a small child.

This is by far my favorite new spot in "Cincy". My husband and I stopped for lunch on our way to Columbus. I found Greenhouse Cafe & Bar on Yelp. As soon as I checked out the menu and saw a few pics, I was sold. I was excited just walking up to the building as the exterior is charming. There is an adorable patio that was closed for the season. We were greeted by warm "hellos" when we entered. The menu is the perfect size to give you options, but not overwhelm. We ordered at the counter and went to find a seat. While waiting for our food, I admired the interior decor-- tons of plants. There was also a lot of Grinch stuff (my fav) as it was Christmas week. The food arrived and we dug in. Everything we got was delicious. I ordered the smoke turkey sandwich and my husband got the special: a roast beef sandwich. I ate both of our deli pickles. The only thing that wasn't great was the iced coffee. My husband really didn't enjoy it. I was so tempted to try one of their awesome sounding tea lattes, but decided to try to save a buck. Now I am regretting my decision and can't wait to go back to get one.

Great food and service. Not your average cafe fare. Order at the counter, have a seat and they'll deliver. Some nice cocktail selections as well.

Very cute cafe in beautiful downtown Lebanon OHIO. Menu provides both vegan & non vegan options. Casual atmosphere & food was thoughtfully prepared. Small seating area outside & tables inside. Tried the chicken salad that was delicious & my friend loved the potato bowl. Check it out!

This is exactly the kind of place I've been searching for in Greater Cincinnati!Healthy. Fresh, with lots of vegetables. Reasonably priced. Every item on the menu can be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten free upon request (if they're not already). Updating my review now that I've been back: During my first trip, I ordered the Loaded Potato Bowl, and that was a winner. It was plenty of food, so I actually saved the second half for later.I've also tried the Buffalo Tempeh Salad, which I also liked. If there was a way to chop and mix it all together, though, that would have been even better. It's small, but there a few spaces to dine inside, as well as a small outdoor seating area. I've had no problem finding a place to sit and eat. I'll definitely be back again!

Nice little cafe. Nothing else around like it. Boasts healthy eating with most diet options available for most meals. A little bit inconsistent but everyone makes their dishes different. Not that big of a deal. Was afraid to try it because the menu was a bit different than I was used to, but ended up liking everything I've tried so far. It's a regular lunch stop now when we're out for a walk. Nice ambience, and features outdoor seating. Staff has been helpful and always a good attitude.

This is such a cute little cafe in "small town USA." I really felt like I was in some holiday hallmark movie sitting outside on their patio taking in the perfect fall weather. ; DThe patio area is really cute. And I like how they added a "bar" seating area along the railing as additional seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. The service was friendly and helpful in guiding me through menu items. I ordered the Chicken Apple Brie which I had on GF bread and their vegan cheese. I say, as long as the vegan cheese is melted...it's really not that bad! Overall the flavor was yummo. I also had their Floral Fog which tasted very watered down. However, I did ask him for it hot and to put an ice cube to cool it down faster, so it might have been the ice cube that made it taste watery. Note to self for next time. Definitely will go back to try more of their menu. All the items sound delightful!

Amazing amazing amazing!!! I cannot rave enough about the Greenhouse Cafe. The restaurant offers healthy lunch options with locally sourced ingredients and operates eco friendly to reduce waste. Yummy sandwiches and salads are as tasty as everything else on the menu. We have been there many times and it is our 'to go cafe' in Lebanon. I absolutely love that vegetarians and vegans find a wide selection as well on the menu!!!

Perfect spot for lunch while in Lebanon! The cafe is small & charming with indoor & outdoor seating. All ingredients are locally sourced, farm to table. The food is delicious and offers vegetarian / vegan options on most items! I ordered the Avocado Sprout w/ Chicken & Pimento Cheese Pasta Salad on the side. Filling & flavorful. Would absolutely stop in again!

What a way to kick off 2023! Greenhouse Cafe is prime vibes, ya'll.Why? Because the:1. Space is cozy, welcoming, and beautiful2. Positivity radiating from the lady behind the counter.3. Menu is bomb, esp for health conscious or those with dietary needs & restrictions.Ordered the Buffalo Tempeh Bowl, and it was my first experience with tempeh. If you've never tried, was like a mozzarella stick no cap. Well priced, but could have either used a bigger portion, and/or more protein, as I was hungry about 30 minutes later or less, but was also the first time I ate that day as well. Garlic aioli sauce needs more garlic IMO.Had a Vanilla spiced Chai latte...needed to be steeped longer. Low on chai, but drinkable.To close out the meal, had this paleo peppermint truffle...it was like a yummy, chocolate York peppermint patty! I could have ate 2 dozen of those.So, even though I either need to order more food, or slight tweaks need to be made to bring the flavor, the vibes elevate Greenhouse. There's not many places I can say I look forward to going back to...but this is one of them.Man, if I was closer, I'd be here everyday!
