Really disappointing experience at The Lavender Garden. The signs said OPEN, so I pulled off the highway specifically to try the lavender ice cream and a latte. When I got to the window, there was a sign saying to ring the doorbell for service. I rang it several times and waited outside in 105 degree heat for about 10 minutes, but no one came, so I eventually left. As I was driving away, I saw a golf cart pull up to the shop, so I actually turned around and came back. As I walked toward the window, I saw someone wearing a hat who appeared to see me and then walked away. No big deal, I figured I'd just ring the doorbell again. I could clearly hear it ringing through the window. Still, I was completely ignored. What bothered me wasn't even that they weren't serving. If someone had simply come to the window and said, "Sorry, we're not serving right now," I would've completely understood. Instead, the signs said open, the instructions said to ring for service, and I was left standing outside twice with no acknowledgment whatsoever. Really bummed because I genuinely wanted to try this place. I hope someone higher up at The Lavender Garden sees this and improves the process so other customers don't have the same experience. read more

A great place to visit stop for a break. All 100 % lavender products. Reasonable pricing. Will stop by more often read more

The establishment is charming. The store is well laid out with a broad spectrum of Lavender scented and themed items. Very nice, interior. The proprietress was helpful and knowledgeable. She assisted us with selecting and the sale of all items. Reasonably priced items. You could pay much, much, more elsewhere. read more

A group of us were driving by and saw signs for The Lavender Garden and pulled off to check it out. It's in the middle of nowhere and unfortunately, there wasn't much to it at all. There was little to no lavender to be found, and what we did see were actually artificial sprays stuck in the ground!! The "gift shop" really didn't have anything of interest and wasn't very appealing. There were restrooms which we used and a little dog park...we had no dogs with us. There was also some type of dinosaur backdrop set-up for photos. So other than the restrooms, this stop was definitely not worth the pull off the highway. Drive on! read more

Having passed this place many times, I had extra time today to check it out... It was a very slow Friday afternoon....only 4-5 cars, mostly to utilize the very nice dog park. The ice cream & lavender lemonade shop was closed??? The gift shop, located at the other end of the guest attractions, was staffed by a young woman (18-20 years old). I inquired of her about some of the lavender infused food items. She was poorly trained and had no information to share. I was in the mood to make a purchase, but ended up leaving without buying anything. In general, this stop was largely a waste of time. Maybe things are more active and interesting at other times of year ‍ The dog park and restrooms are the one "pawsitive" I saw....and I don't have a dog. read more

This is a nice road side stop to stretch your legs, they have a small garden/photo area with some dinosaurs and other animals for the kids to look at. Gift shop is nice and prices are reasonable. Restrooms are clean. Staff is friendly and attentive. They gave a covered area with cooling misters. Good place to spend about 30-60 minutes, if you are in the area. I would not consider this a destination spot, but it is good as a rest stop, especially if you have kids or dogs. Keep an eye out for snakes as you are walking. read more

Saw the signs driving west towards SLO from the 5 freeway, so made a stop excitedly to check out the beautiful lavender displays. But this was in March and there were no blooms of lavender yet. I think after June is when it should be ready, so definitely make a stop if in summer. Otherwise, it was a good place to take a break and stretch out legs and walk to the left from the shop to the building which sells lavender touched ice cream and restroom as well. I just got the small size to try it out since never had lavender flavored ice cream. It was actually quite refreshingly good with a clean hint of lavender! I don't remember the costs but it was such that 3 of these small ones would cost more than the big pint size they also had. So if you have more 3 or more folks wanting to get, might as well get the much bigger pint and share. I saw a family with kids walking out with 3 of the small packs and wondered why not just get the big pint and have at it amongst the family. Initially got lost when turning into the opening from the road while going west bound. Turned right in to the opening and went straight for a while, which ended up leading to some almond factory. This place is pretty much parallel to the road, so once you turn right into the opening, immediately turn left to go further west parallel to the main road. read more

After passing buy this business many times my curiosity got the better of me and figured it'd be a nice place to stop on an otherwise boring drive. But it was closed. No signs, gate not closed and clearly within their posted operating hours. Not sure if this place is worth stopping at, I'll try again, but, seriously, if you're closed tell people before they drive all the way in. read more

We stopped here on our way to SoCal. Bought two of the room sprays to gift family and one for myself. When I got home I smelled it and did not smell lavender at all! I'm so embarrassed that I gifted one of them! What is this? Rip off! Do not buy it! read more

Cute stop off of Highway 46. When you exist your car you can smell the lavender. There is a really cute gift shop with hand, body and tea products made from lavender. The staff is super friendly and nice. If you go towards the house you will find another shop for snacks and drinks. We bought lavender lemonade and it was so good. My daughter also tried the wild strawberry lemonade which was equally as refreshing. They also serve a few flavors of ice cream. There is a restroom which was clean and kept Ed up. Lastly, for any travelers with pets, they have a nice dog park for big and small dogs do they too can stretch their legs and do their business. A nice pit stop along the road. read more

Stopped to use restroom. Really cute place. Decided to eat lunch. Great tasting bbq chicken plate and only $15. Worth stopping

Everything i purchased was expired. The loose leaf lavender tea was expired and had no flavor, nor did the lollipop. I was under the impression that this location had fresh lemonade and ice cream but everything is pre packaged. It wasn't cheap either. Not something I would go back to :/ read more

Great place to stop and take pictures with the dinosaurs. We took a lot of silly ones. They have food on the weekends. Great little gift shop, when you walk in it smells amazing. The lavender body lotion is made there. Try it, amazing! I bought hand sanitizers and lavender honey. read more

If your traveling to Paso Robles or to Pismo Beach .... Make a stop here. You won't regret it. It's nice to see lavender in full bloom. You can take pictures and get close to the lavender bushes. Just be careful , because their are bees swarming around near the lavender bushes. They have a gift shoppe , where you can buy all things lavender. Was looking forward to trying lavender ice cream , but unfortunately wasn't available today. Was looking to try the lavender lemonade , was a little disappointed it came in a glass bottle and not freshly made from a dispenser. read more

Great place! We purchased drinks and used a clean restroom! The lavender lemonade was yummy.

The perfect little stop in between I-5 and Paso Robles. There's a lovely gift shop, plenty of photo opportunities and some snacks. It's definitely in the middle of no-where so I'm not sure I'd make it a destination but it's a great stop for a break! read more

We love the lavender garden! A convenient stop! Cute and fun! They also have a cute shop if you love lavender!

Drove by and had some of their excellent lavender ice cream. Tritip was great too. Very friendly new owners. June 7 is their Lavender Festival. Enjoyed the driving break sitting under the tree relaxing! Definitely going to be a regular stop up north from here on out. read more

I have stopped there a couple of times. It's cute with some unique amenities. Stopped there just after Christmas and the gate was closed with no information. Stopped again on the 23rd of February and the same. I think they are closed even though there are many signs around promoting the facility. It's always been very quiet there as far as customers so maybe the lack of support caused them to close. read more

An unplanned stop, but so glad we did it! This place is so darling and the perfect place for a little getaway or a picnic lunch. Their gift shop was so aesthetic and cute, with so many local lavender products. From honey, to seeds, to teas, to bags, they had it all. They also have lavender blueberry ice cream and lavender lemonade, which both are a MUST. The lavender itself was so beautiful to see, walk around in, and to smell. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Hope to see this place get more hype! read more
