Such a great little spot. The coffee was just how I like it. Food was super tasty too, and came out pretty quick. The staff were really friendly and the whole place just had a nice vibe. Comfy seating, not too busy and an easy place to hang out for a bit. Will definitely be back

I had a wonderful experience at Garden Tea Rooms Cafe! The highlight for me was definitely the outdoor atmosphere — so peaceful and beautifully set up, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, which added to the warm and friendly vibe of the place. The menu had plenty of great options to choose from, but I especially loved their Big Breakfast — generous portions and full of flavour. Their thick shakes were rich and satisfying, and the desserts are an absolute must-try! You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Overall, a fantastic cafe with quality food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

Lovely places surrounded by lots of natural elements, the birds will come chipping on you and find food if you are seating outdoors. The food price is pretty decent but the portion can be quite small. Some souvenir available at the shop but it's both much. Come to get a quick fill of the tummy, it's going to be tiring from the walk so some food is important.

Stopped by during my walk. Had a coffee and bacon roll, was a little trouble with comms whening ordering but got there in the end. Plenty of seating just got to share with the locals of the garden. Coffee was ok price was fair. Plenty parking within the gardens.

Great place to grab a bite to drink or a cool drink after seeing the zoo or walking around the gardens. Prices are reasonable but the portions could be bigger for that price. Lots of tables in the shade and toilets nearby. Souvenir shop too.

Lovely. The area was shaded by large trees home to native birds waiting for your scraps. I had the egg and bacon burger, I enjoyed it but it seemed to be lacking something, something that makes me want to eat it again, not bad but not special either. Prices are reasonable and only a short walk to a very large play area for the little ones.
