I had such a good lunch here TWICE last year and so could not wait to get back, but not so great this year. Crowded as others have said, super expensive (well over the price of the ticket to get in for the entire gardens viewing...for one person), long waits, and that sandwich I looked forward to was either no longer on menu or had changed to something stranger? Not sure. Bummer! Will skip it next year and eat first or go elsewhere after.

We had a good coffee and delicious sandwich before walking the gardens and it did NOT disappoint! The signature sandwich with the chive cream cheese has tons of flavor for a breakfast sandwich and is worth trying! The white chocolate mocha was nice and sweet.

Honestly the coffee here is just bad. I'm not a coffee connoisseur myself, but I've tried their drip coffee and espresso drinks a few times (have a membership to the gardens) and it's consistantly stale. It's also in the pricier side, so you pay a lot for bad coffee.

The folks working here are friendly though. Invest in some better coffee to match the ambiance of the gardens and then we'll be talking!

Quiche was delicious and the tomato soup also.

Breakfast/lunch at the Botanical Gardens. Like many tourist attractions, the food can be expensive but is okay for what's offered. The lines can be long and slow at peak times, but are much better during slack times. If the weather's good, the outside seating area is pleasant.

I really enjoyed the Caesar wrap! Lovely folks and ambiance, though they do get very busy at peak times.

Marcus Johnston

Very chill, lovely staff, food was so-so and pricey, but hard to get upset with all the foliage around.

It's a good tactic.

Nice Cafe to sit and relax while visiting the garden. Nice staff. The cinnamon roll was delicious 😋

We didn't expect the food to be so bland. My husband got chili and it had 12 beans in it and was like flavorless soup, Mac and cheese bland, grilled cheese on dry toasted bread. Was just meh.

For a quick bite and break from the heat this is a good spot. Grabbed a standard quesdilla, good size and quality. Can get busy alongside the hive in the garden.

Breakfast service here includes mammoth bowls of scrambled eggs over tater tots covered in cheese and topped with bacon and green chili sauce. The croissant sandwich is perfect.

The inside seating recalls IKEA for purity of form and function and the inverted taper on the columns recalls Gaudi. Note the signage which recapitulates the organic curvature both physically and descriptively.

I mean overall it's a pretty nice spot. We came before lunch time to grab a quick bite and the lines were short but by noon, man it was getting really crowded. The vibes are nice and the food is fresh. Overall I like it, do expect higher prices as it's a touristy cafe in a touristy garden.

A little bit busier than I would like. As we entered they announced at least 30 mins wait for any prepared food. Line was to the door so it took nearly 25 mins just to wait in line to order. We only got already finish food(danish). It was delicious.

Well worth the wait!!! The Flower Power chickpea wrap exceeded all expectations. The Roast And Roll roast beef sandwich was great too. And you can’t go wrong with the chocolate chip cookie. We snagged an amazing table on the covered patio and we will definitely be coming back to try more!

Vegetarian options: Flower Power chickpea wrap was amazing- next I will try the eggplant sandwich. There were lots of veg choices! Salads, sandwiches, wraps, and flatbread options.
