About Garden Cafe at VanDusen

Garden Cafe at VanDusen provides a peaceful setting where guests can relax or enjoy a meal amidst beautiful garden views and a fountain. The service team is friendly and accommodating, allowing visitors to stay comfortably until closing. The high tea special remains a popular choice, featuring three stacks of sandwiches, berry scones, croissants, and a dessert tier that includes white chocolate and dark chocolate balls, meringue pies, fancy macarons, two kinds of jams, and whipped cream. However, during weekends, the cafe can be crowded, and there may be a wait during busy times.

For those simply looking for a light meal or coffee, the cafe is a good spot, especially on the patio where sitting and enjoying afternoon tea feels even nicer with the lovely garden surroundings. It is also a family-friendly place with wheelchair accessibility, though parking can be challenging during busy periods. Note that during visits, only paper cups are offered for tea or coffee, as the nicer tea mugs and cups available before COVID-19 are no longer used. Overall, Garden Cafe at VanDusen offers a calm and scenic environment perfect for meeting friends or enjoying a peaceful break.
