After more than a decade of working as an architect I decided to open Kiva Cafe. It served the community as an oasis away from hectic city life and was a place for healthy foods, comforting drinks, inspiring art, and human connection…a place to find wellbeing.

This concept was successful and expanded to two locations: Soho and Tribeca, in NYC.

Eventually, the Kiva Cafe closed its retail doors to solely focus on corporate catering. Currently, we serve delicious, nutritious foods, in a sustainable way, to corporate luncheons, and business events in NYC.

Bbwondergarden was born at home as an extension of Kiva Cafe‘s concept for wellbeing and seeks to serve as a guide for gardening inspiration and resources. It is my dream to help urban gardeners create an edible oasis that delights all the senses, fosters connection with nature, and promotes regeneration.
