Great spot for breakfast and lunch, in what is likely the most naturally beautiful place around!

They have a small selection of dishes. They post daily specials on the board. Everything I ordered was super fresh and delicious. Their stuffed portobello mushrooms were amazing. The staff were friendly. The place looks nice and clean. The only thing is that the kitchen closes at 3 pm.

Went with my mom and my 3 kids. It was a beautiful place, even though my kids were tired pretty quickly. They loved the ice cream sandwich reward at the end of the walk though.Kid-friendliness: I saw lots of kids there, and if I was there with just my 8 year old, we would have had a fabulous time. My 5yo was annoyed about walking so much lol

One of the best parks in central jersey! Somehow Duke Farms is both off and on the beaten path. Despite its popularity, the park has a relaxing and enjoyable vibe that makes it a pleasure to visit, even during the busiest days. The drive down to the park is very charming, as you swoop down winding streets surrounded by trees and shrubs. Parking is easy, but I believe that during the summer you need to reserve parking for Saturday's. Be sure to check when you go if it still applies. I didn't know when I went, but the staff was nice and let me park anyway. The park itself is beautifully maintained and offers a variety of different sights and things to do. There's a Japanese garden, an old abandoned estate (where the Duke used to live), other ruins/archives, a treehouse, a greenhouse with exotic plants and a wide array of orchids (super nice!), and many other statues and picnic areas. You can rent bikes here during the summer and bike across the entire park! There's a food court here too - but I haven't tried the food. I recommend getting a bike or bringing your own and exploring! This place is awesome

Beautiful day at Duke's Estate. Lots to see-- The Old Foundation, the orchid greenhouse, the water falls. Those were just the places we went during our 2.5 hour visit to Duke's Estate.
My son enjoyed his ice cream made by the Bent Spoon!

Duke Farms was the perfect way to spend our Saturday morning. Entry was free as long as we reserved entry passes through Eventbrite ahead of time. We showed up around 10am, parked, and walked into the Farm Barn, a renovated horse and dairy barn that's been certified LEED Platinum, to ask for directions to the Bike Tent. The interior of the Farm Barn was beautiful and had clean restrooms, water stations, and a cafe offering some goods from the farm. It was a short walk to the bike tent, and after signing a couple of waivers, and paying $8 per bike (for 2 hours), we were off! We rode throughout the grounds on our cruisers, making stops at The Orchid Range, Coach Barn, Old Foundation, and The Great Falls. My favorite stop was The Orchid Range, a greenhouse stuffed with dozens of varieties of tropical and subtropical orchids. We also made sure to time our ride so that we'd arrive at The Great Falls in time for one of its four displays. By the end of it all, we'd sweated through our sunscreen, but we were glad we made the decision to bike. The grounds are massive, well-paved, and well-marked, but walking would not have been ideal in the summer heat.

Great trails and fall colors, downside can't bring your pup but still gorgeous walk and hiking and waterfall! Plus a garden and center! Sunday in the summer have a farmers market
