Critics say Big THUMBS up for Hanging Gardens Cafe at The Garden Centre

This is Courtney and John who are the owners of the cafe at The Cottage Garden Nursery which they have aptly called The Hanging Gardens Cafe. John and Courtney took over the cafe last year and recently it was reviewed by online site www.urbanspoon.com.au and no surprises to all of us who LOVE the cafe the reviews are wonderful.
I quote......."An oasis in the middle of Brisbane's city landscape, Hanging Gardens is a tranquil sanctuary to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle. Offering sumptuous gourmet fare, not to mention vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, Hanging Gardens is a welcome addition to the East Brissie cafe scene. Sit back and relax with a cup of coffee and a freshly baked muffin or brownie (raspberry and dark choc is now a personal favourite) and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Cottage Garden Nursery." 


                  The peaceful setting.
                             Some of the super yummy, moist and filling muffins in question. I had a bannana one  the other day and it was fantastic. A reminder the cafe is open 7 days from 7 am to 2 pm and take away is available. ALL food is made on the premises by head chef Mick.
Below is a few recent shots of my space at the Nursery. Sorry some of the pictures are blurry.
                      
 
 






I spotted this guy at the Nursery. It almost didn't look real at first. Living proof of the no chemical philosopy of the Nursery. Hope you had a great day.

  4. The green tree frog makes my heart sing - how gorgeous. All I see is cane toads - yuck.
    How funny, I remember buying a drink and saying to John what a cool place to work getting to be surrounded by beautiful gardens and listening to John Butler Trio, which was playing at the time. I didn't know his name was John though.

  10. Hello. That looks like a lovely cafe. A nice place to meet maybe.

    Thank you. It was a pleasure seeing you today. Unfortunately, everyone was accounted for in the car, which means I forgot to leave one of them with you!

  12. we visited for the first time on the weekend and have found a new favourite place. we'd just come from the WAC for coffee so didn't eat or drink but did buy some wonderful little collapsable tables for our new home (I think from your space) and we were wowed by the amazing collection of plants.

    thanks for the tip off :)
