What secret rooms does Café Mulberry have?

Nolita’s Café Mulberry turns heads with a “secret” layout

A Nolita hotspot called Café Mulberry is drawing attention not just for its coffee-and-cocktails vibe, but for the way it’s built. Co-owners Justin Sievers and Leo Jacob gave Page Six an exclusive tour of the space, highlighting a “secret garden” feature and an ultra-exclusive cocktail lounge.

The tour focused on how the venue is designed to feel private and layered, so regulars can slip away from the street energy and into enclosed, low-key areas. Along with the garden concept, the venue includes a “whisper room,” adding to the sense that guests can choose how loud—or secluded—their hangout experience should be.

What makes it notable for celebrity watchers is that known figures have been showing up there to “kick back.” The venue has reportedly had regulars like Rita Ora and Jason Momoa enjoying time at the café.

The story matters in pop-culture terms because places like this become part of the celebrity lifestyle ecosystem: when high-profile guests are seen at a relatively new or trend-driven spot, it can accelerate interest from the public and reinforce the venue’s reputation as a destination.

In short, Café Mulberry’s appeal isn’t only the menu—it’s the set of hidden or hard-to-find-feeling spaces that encourage a more exclusive, behind-the-scenes kind of night out.
