The staff are so so lovely at Sassafras Cafe - always so friendly and accommodating when I’m there with my toddler. Food is fresh, fast and reasonably priced. Great spot to share a meal with kids.

What a beautiful patio and view! Brought my wife and mother to the gardens for the day and we ate both breakfast and lunch! The dining room and patio are kept very clean. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The negative reviews here were not our experience.

Waste of your time don’t go here is mediocre, and Food takes forever! I was the first one here and I’ve been waiting for 45 minutes. Regret coming here

There are two separate lines: cafe is grab go (including baked goods) and restaurant a fast casual counter serve (soup, salad, sandwich, burger). There was a long line for cafe but no line for restaurant when I visited during the Japanese festival. Food was decent, potato leek soup of the day was flavorful and hot but very salty. Employees were friendly and courteous- apologized for the wait as they were very busy! Overall, I recommend this cafe over the Japanese festival food vendors (and the atmosphere is quite cute)!

I ate here during their brunch hours and I was impressed by their offerings. I opted to get the Belgian waffle with pecans, fresh berries, syrup, and whipped butter. It also came with a side of pineapple, watermelon, and cantaloupe slices. It was better than I expected. However, what I didn't enjoy was that they mixed small pieces of crushed pecans into the waffle mix. This results in every other bite of waffle feeling like you're biting a small rock because the texture of the pecans were very hard and kinda hurt my teeth. I didn't order anything else, so I can't comment on their other offerings. I wouldn't get the waffle again, but it's wasn't the worst thing I've eaten. Prices were about what you'd expect, it was about $10. It's a good option if you don't want to leave the garden. Employees were very friendly!!

Perfect place to ruin a perfect day! The atmosphere is great. Beautiful patio and awesome furniture, kids friendly environment. The food is simply terrible, not only it tastes bad ( sugar in tuna salad, sugar in chicken shawarma!! ), but it also made us all sick.. even the coffee tasted bad, I wish I wouldn’t trust the reviews and wouldn’t go there ? Not recommended.

Taking the orders was fine waiting for the food was ridiculous! 40 minutes to wait for a sandwich is too long. Don’t offer a restaurant if you don’t have the people to serve.
I had a spring salad and it was delicious. Great outdoor seating and fast friendly service.

Wasn't knowledgeable about menu options. Wasn't clear about purchasing coffee but picking up in another location. Beverage machine only had lemonade and water. Love the lighting, peace and comfortable atmosphere.

Service was awful, food was very slow (took over 45 mins) and arrived cold, and order was wrong. Not sure how else they could screw this up to be honest.You know what's not great about a grilled cheese? When it arrives cold so it's basically a hunk of cheese wrapped in soggy bread.The value is atrocious as you get about half the food you think you will for the privilege of paying twice the price you should pay.Another plus to going here is if you miss the days when you used to work in a restaurant you can relive it because you have to clean your own table if you want to find a clean one to eat at.Replace this place with vending machines and it would improve the experience.
