Our server was very kind and friendly. They had gluten free options (I got a gluten free salted Carmel brownie and if was very good). The drinks were really good, my husband got a latte and I got an iced chai latte. 10/10! I would recommend here! It was also quiet and intimate place with a nice flower gift shop as well!

My partner says four stars because the burger had a smoked flavor. I enjoyed the Halloumi & smashed avocado salad with chicken and the Pravha house lager. Best to call for a reservation. Would definitely go back.

The place is good if you want to take a rest from the walking. It offers a good choice (although it may be limited) of soups and sandwiches. The coffee is fine and you can even do some study while drinking your coffee. It's not the cheapest option but it's more or less what you expect to pay inside a museum or in this case, a garden.

As a support Practitioner. I support vulnerable adults. They enjoy the cafe at the botanics but I am allocated £5 for a lunch while supporting someone. This cafe outprices me and I often have to go hungry. Even the kids meal is too expensive
