    We came for Mother's day High Tea. Perfect setting, great food, excellent service - and even a magnificent sunny May day - who could ask for more than that!

    Mother's Day High Tea was absolutely fantastic. Bottomless scones and drinks, delicious plentiful food, and even a children's box for our 5 year old. We all had a great time and loved the food and setup. With a walk around the nursery in the sun afterwards. Highly recommend.

    Thank you Mya, we are so glad you and your family had such a wonderful time and enjoyed everything from the food to the sunshine and stroll through the nursery.

    A lovely place for lunch, surrounded by beautiful native plants and imaginative landscaping. We were there on Easter Monday so it was very busy but the staff were efficient and so friendly dealing with the crowds; and the food was very good.

    It's always a lovely place for brunch or lunch, the staff are always friendly and pretty attentive. I ordered the soba noodle salad with chicken, but the salad itself wasn't as tasty as the description and the dressing wasn't either. The chicken tenderloins were nice though. My chai latte was weaker than I like and wasn't enough to give much chai flavour to the milk. I'd still go back any time.

    Overall a great place for brunch. The presentation of food was excellent. Sat outside. Very windy but still pleasant although table was sticky which was annoying. Some food under table drew ants. But; great coffee & food was delicious and a different take on than the normal most cafes have. Could do with a breakie burger though! Scones worth trying. Excellent shop and nursery to browse through after. Picked up some nice gifts & rustic things for the garden. Nice to see it’s dog friendly too. Did have to wait a while for scones although waitress did follow up when she realised we hadn’t got them after some time. Would visit again though! Also, had a sneaky wine or cocktail on offer which I’ll try next visit. Did get great help from gift shop lady when trying to decide on fragrance.
