This place is amazing! ? I was greeted by warm smiles, a warm atmosphere, and a delicious chai latte,. Selah, who took my order, was super nice, super sweet and overall brightened up my mood and my day. I will happily come back!! ❤️❤️

Pretty cool cafe, has a couple of vegan options like vegan chia pudding, banana bread, banh mi, black bean chilli, fruit cup, coffee etc

It's hard to find many high tea experiences anymore; this was a very pleasant surprise. We found it delicious as well as a good value compared to other places & obviously the occasion was enhanced by the beautiful garden setting!

This cafe used to be a delight but has sadly gone downhill. I ordered a jerk chicken wrap - it was more mayo and lettuce than anything. Barely a hint of jerk chicken spice and maybe a smidge of the promised mango chutney. Although it was apparently heated up, it was still ice cold in the middle. Also paid for an overpriced iced London fog. The tea was barely steeped and I was given a cup of what looked to be milk with no tea colouring. I ended up giving it back and asking for it to be redone. After a bit of arguing (!!) — they should’ve been so embarrassed to give me essentially a cup of milk in the first place — they gave me a slightly better version but again the tea was barely steeped and the London Fog was not made to standards. I ended up tossing half of it away. The whole meal was subpar and a huge disappointment. My coworkers agreed and they ordered other sandwiches. We wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat here or cater from here.

Varying closing times throughout the year. Between November to February, the gardens close at 2pm.

I don't recommend the Jerk Chicken Wrap. The tea was good though.

Fine spot for a quick meal. Nothing fancy, but coffee is decent and has a baked good case.

Great spot to hang out for coffee or a light meal. This cafeteria style restaurant is looking out to Van Dusen Gardens. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. The Garden is operated by the City of Vancouver. Parking is free in their lot but it fills up quickly. There is free street parking in the neighbourhood. #flowers #tourvancouver #letsguide

Parking: Parking is free in their lot but it fills up quickly. There is free street parking in the neighbourhood. On busy event days you will need to park farther and walk back.

It's a great place to have a cup of coffee while looking at the botanical garden. You can use it before or after entering the botanical garden.

Food was atrocious. For some reason tge heated up a wrap that had lettuce in it. So I ended up with hot lettuce and a center that was ice cold. Woke and daughters food was nasty too. Drinks from fridge were warm. Next time we come to vandusen Gardens we will pack a lunch
