Discover Reforesters Laboratory: Adaptogenic Café & Sound Clinic Joins Our NYC Food Tour
Discovering Reforesters Laboratory
We’re thrilled to announce a serene new addition to our Williamsburg Bites Food Tour: Reforesters Laboratory. Nestled at 147 Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn, this unique space combines an adaptogenic café with a sound clinic, offering visitors a holistic experience that nourishes both body and mind.
Reforesters Laboratory is more than just a café; it’s a sanctuary designed to cultivate kindness—both physical and spiritual. Founded by Greg Kieser, this innovative space draws inspiration from its sister organization, Reforesters Farm, a 400-acre agroforestry initiative in upstate New York. The mission is clear: to provide an environment that offers peace, space, and clarity, helping individuals understand the connections between themselves, their communities, and the world around them.

The Adaptogenic Café Experience
At the forefront of Reforesters Laboratory is its adaptogenic café, curated by holistic chef Rose Thompson. Specializing in plant-based, gut-restorative foods, the café offers a menu rich in adaptogens and nootropics—compounds known to support the body’s ability to manage stress and enhance cognitive function. From ashwagandha and rhodiola to lion’s mane and L-theanine, each ingredient is thoughtfully selected to promote well-being. The offerings are grain-free, with no added sugars, ensuring a nourishing experience for all visitors.
Immersive Sound Clinic Sessions
Beyond the café lies the sound clinic—a space dedicated to deep and bodily listening. Equipped with a 16-channel d&b audiotechnik sound system, the clinic offers 20-60 minute sessions that emphasize ambient, drone, bass, and sub-bass sound arts. Guests are encouraged to disconnect from their devices, remove their shoes, and immerse themselves in the sonic environment. Sessions may include instructor-led breathwork and meditation or allow for self-guided exploration, providing a unique opportunity to reconnect with oneself.
