I have been shopping here for years. This nursery has always been gorgeous, especially with their homewares and gifts. They have a large selection available and staff are very helpful with any gardening questions and advice needed. A bit expensive but given the location and quality it's to be expected.

Sweet nursery with both a boutique homewares/ fashion store & a lovely cafe. The food on my visits has always been a hit. Very casual cafeteria style with sweet surroundings

Love the nursery, but the cafe is a big let down. I think the prices are too expensive as the food is average. The coffee is not good either. The menu selection has something for everyone though. It was very busy when I was there mainly tables of young mums & kids or groups of women in their 50's +. We found it impossible to hear each other talk due to the noise, I also felt that the place felt a bit dirty, this was probably due to the volume of people, but there were bits of food on our chairs when we went to sit down, the table looked as though it had been slightly wiped down but there was still some food crumbs left behind. My friends glass had lip stick on the rim, but did appear clean apart from the lip stick. We were served in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were friendly. I just felt for the price it was a below average experience.

Popular place in Surrey Hills - gets very busy at lunch. Food is ok - not great, just ok - but there is a good selection on offer. Service is very friendly however - know all the girls there and they are great. Coffee is ok. Prices are definitely not great - its expensive for what it is, but I guess that's to be expected in Surrey Hills.

This is a great combined nursery, cafe and gift shop. It is particularly nice to sit outside on a nice day as you eat and feel surrounded by beautiful plant displays. Inside the cafe has slightly pricey but delicious lunches? My favorite part where I could stay and browse for hours is the shop which not only has garden items, but also has unique ladies clothes, children's items,many many gifts, jewellery and home decorations. I find it a great place to buy presents for friends and family. It is almost a wole day out just to visit this place by the time you have eaten, drunk, looked at the plants and looked in the gift shop, enjoy!

Always enjoy dining there. Good variety of healthy food on offer and their showcase is amazing. Very clean and inviting. Lovely, lively atmosphere, sit inside or out and appears to be a popular eating place.
Coffee could be better but passable. Gift shop and nursery to browse before or after eating.

Approximate cost: $12

We love to sit outside with the kids and looks at all the beautiful plants and flowers. The food is nice and the service is fine. It's a really pretty spot to stop and do a little shopping, browse, let the little ones play (there is a small playground) and enjoy some time out. Recommended for a pleasant local visit.

Gorgeous nursery surroundings. It can be really lovely sitting in one of the outside areas surrounded by the latest beautiful blooms. The food is quite nice and the coffee is adequate.

They have kid's lunch boxes that contain a sandwich, apple, juice and smartie cookie and these are my little boy's favourite treat.
