Visited The Garden last week for lunch and had the most delicious mushroom & cheese grilled sandwich! Came a way with a plant too (couldn't resist!), that is now brightening up my work from home office! A great spot for lunch or coffee and a useful place to find a present too. I will be back soon!

Big fan of The Garden! Love the jungle vibes with all the plants, great coffee and sweet treats (those cookies...), and really friendly staff. Also a great place to pick up a gift, not just plants

Not sure if this is a coffee shop or a plant shop but I love it! The space is really nice but it does get busy and they have a time limit for how long you can stay because of that. Coffee is good and food is good too. Maybe it tastes better because I am surrounded by plants?

Cute plant filled space, gets pretty busy. I like the seats and interior a lot. Wish I tried the chocolate cookie. The soup was good!

Fancy coffee, cookies and other treats when you want to splurge. The interior is beautiful with lots of plants. Body and home care products are also available and I'm always so tempted! Appreciate the gender-neutral toilet!
