God bless The natural remedy I got from Dr Okjas harbal home
We have been eating at Swanson's Cafe a few times a year but lately we were buying plants for our new gardens so we have had lunch at the Cafe 2-3 times a month. Sad to say the food quality has gone down hill. Soups are ones we have never heard of. We have had some strange ones and today was Toasted Almond chicken. It had dark chicken meat that looked like the bad parts of dark chicken, a small amount of wild rice and way too much celery. Soup was watery. Chicken sandwich was fine but french fries were totally cold. The cafe may be struggling but would probably do better if they served better food. The soups seem like they cutting back on good ingredients to save money but serving bad food is not a way to make a restaurant better.

The food at Swanson’s cafe is not worth the price. I had the frittata and it was dry and I did not finish. The price is a bit steep for the quality of the food. The saving grace is the inviting set up of the cafe.

Food is quite subpar and pricey for its quality. Atmosphere is great
Fantastic eggs Benedict, in a lovely lush space
One of service reasons we came, was for the potatoes that everyone raved about. I love potatoes... so I said let's go. My husband loved his meal and potatoes. I had eggs Benedict and they were fabulous... but fir me the potatoes were too heavy with seasoning. Liked the seasoning taste... but just so much.
Beautiful place, tasty food. However, I could not cut my eggs benedict with the plastic knife provided as cutlery and I am a grown man. My eggs ended up a mess on leathery English muffins and I had to put the whole lunch into a takeout box so that I could wrestle with it at home with proper cutlery. If I couldn't cut my food nobody can. The owners please take note and keep trying their own dishes. For $22 a major disappointment.
For the next stop on Tour de Fry (follow me for fry reviews)
Fries = Wow! These are fantastic. The crispy texture is on par. The seasoning is perfect, not too heavy, week distributed. Even when they were cold, the texture was fantastic.
Value = comes with the sammich, and definitely worth it compared to other sammich shops around town
Sadly weekends felt impossible to get a table and service was super slow. But if you go off peak it's worth it imo. I'd come again.

This nursery is spacious, and a wonderful garden vibe throughout. Food and menu is a perfect plant ? esthetic. Buy plants, or flowers and stop by the Cafe for sandwich or salad. Koi Pond is such a treasure

This place has become incredibly expensive. Over $100 for an egg breakfast for 2 adults and 3 little kids seems extreme. Food is okay, but not remarkable in any way. Service is very mixed and sometimes unwelcoming. The only reason we continue to visit is we like the garden center and the kids enjoy the koi pond. But we do wish the cafe would provide an affordable, delicious and friendly meal for loyal customers.

Great place to escape. Plenty of seating. Great food but a tad expensive. I had the mushroom burger, a tiny but spicy and the chicken burger. They both came with tasty fries.
Vegetarian options: The mushroom burger was great. A little spicy but not overly.

Simple menu, some pastries, good coffee, and beverage choices. It is a fun place to be able to eat and then buy plants and gardening tools.
