We didn't know Flower Power had a cafe in it until a family friend showed us. Aside from it being a really nice nursery they had a lovely outdoor cafe. We came here on an early Saturday afternoon for brunch.
[ Atmosphere ]
There's plenty of tables for large or small parties, and the cafe is both indoor/outdoor. And a nice little playground for the kids in the corner. Oh and there's a beautiful view of the pond (with koi fish) from mostly everywhere you sit in the cafe. There are wooden beams with green ivy hanging from it, and just a variety of trees and plants everywhere. I felt like I was in a movie sitting there, it really felt whimsical.
[ Menu ]
- Bacon, poached egg, caesar salad. It was a good salad, but nothing too spectacular. Presentation was nice though.
- Mango smoothie. This was really tasty, not to sweet, and just a real refreshing drink to have while sitting back and enjoying the natural scenery.
- Pesto pasta. This was great, you can't really go wrong with a pesto pasta.
- Cappuccino. Just your average
[ Service ]
This is why I didn't give them 5 stars, mainly because the service was pretty bad. At the time we came we understood they were understaffed, but the staff that were there at the time didn't really have a great attitude about serving us. It's times like that when you can see if someone will choose to put on a smile and serve or just be mad at the world, and boy our server was mad at the world. We felt really rushed when she was taking our order, and she didn't bother smiling at all. Even when she gave us our order, we were afraid to ask for more napkins or utensils because she seemed so disgruntled. I felt bad for her, but at the same time, it's really all about being flexible.
Overall I loved this place only because of the beautiful scenery. I wish I could take my mum here, she would've loved it. I think next time we'll just order a cup of coffee/tea and just enjoy the atmosphere. read more
