    Overall very nice place, food is nice so are the desserts, however as someone who purchases their smoothies everyday, they are sometimes very inconsistent with them unfortunately, it is especially important if the smoothies are expiring on the day to ask for fresh ones if they have, as I've had it on a few occasions where the smoothie was disgusting, tasted and smelt as if it had gone sour specifically the "Holy Cacao, The Strong and the Pineapple smoothie" , however having said this, the staff are lovely and welcoming, they did resolve any issues in regards to the smoothies when they were raised, however it is best to play it safe and ask for a fresh one as mentioned above (if in stock) Unfortunately, I am having to give a rating of 2/5 due to this effecting my experience significantly as consuming this smoothie unknowingly has made me feel very unwell (the "strong smoothie", purchased 02/06/2022 expiring on the same day), this rating is not in regards to staff or the menu offerings, it is purely what I feel. I would recommend stringent checking of products especially if they are being offered for sale very close to their best before date.

    If I could give 0 stars I would, I received a cold bland breakfast. Rubbery cold eggs . £18.50 for one breakfast and 2 coffees. Awful. My daughter had an apology for her breakfast. I didn't. Which is strange. Definitely won't go there again and don't recommend. The people next to us ordered sweet potato chips, we did laugh when we saw the portion she received. They too had to send their eggs back as they were cold and rubbery.

    Why charge extra for plant based milk? It's cheaper than diary and has longer life. You're also a veggie / vegan based cafe! How can you ask £4 + for a non diary cappuccino. Prices are crazy for drinks.

    I am so impressed with The Garden Eatery. I've just completed 13 days of the juice and soup cleanses and each one was great quality and so tasty. They've thought of every detail, down to herbal teabags and information about the nutrition and suggested sequence of the juices - it made it so easy. The friendly customer service is second to none: the deliveries were always on time, everything was packaged securely and they could not have been more responsive or flexible with the specifics of the order. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

    Loved this place. Service was amazing. Food was nicely presented, fresh and delicious. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommend it

    I love this small company for juice cleanses, I’ve done 3 different cleanses now and all the juices arrive fresh & taste delicious. After the 5 day cleanse my skin looks brighter and refreshed and I have lots more energy. The price is good value & competitive and there’s a good loyalty scheme. Customer service is also very good

    Garden Eatery soup and juice cleanses have been such a find! I have tried a few other cleanses from other companies, which tend to be over priced, but now I will come back to GE time and again. Lovely flavours, home made tasting in the nicest possible way. I've spoken to them a couple times on the phone and they are so friendly and accommodating. Now really want to try some of their cakes!

    Attractive place tucked away in Hale. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was busy and a little loud but we were seated right away. Delicious coffee. A wide range of very healthy options including lots of vegan options. I had vegan breakfast which was generously portioned and filling. It didn't light my soul on fire but I would certainly recommend. A great brunch spot!

    I have to say I love this place, from the AMAZING banana bread to the healthy feel good juices! Also if your lucky enough to qualify for the delivery service they couldn't be more helpful, I called up the other night at 10pm to leave a voicemail to ask for a change to my delivery & Chris answered, I had to go away early the next morning so he said he would try his best to get them to me before I left & he did! Thanks Chris your a star!!

    Absolutely brilliant service- the Garden Eatery fast tracked a Vegan, Gluten Free & Refined Sugar Free Carrot Cake down to the Isle of Wight for my Mums 81st Birthday which was wonderful! They went the extra mile in getting the cake despatched to arrive on my Mums actual birthday which was only 2 days after placing the order! The icing and fruit decorations were tubbed up separately so it didn’t get trashed in transit which is a great idea, so easy to quickly dress and pop some candles on. My Mum was truly delighted, she struggles to get anything nice with her various dietary problems these days so it made the celebrations all the more fabulous. Thank you all at The Garden Eatery for all your efforts 🤗

    Mediocre and wouldn’t return Visited here with my daughter for a birthday lunch. We were really looking forward to it but felt very disappointed with the quality of food. We had two chicken flatbreads but the chicken was pink which really put us off. We had a smoothie which at £6 felt excessive and disappointed these aren’t freshly made at the cafe for that price. Also asked to be seated at a different table (not a high one as they are not practical to eat a meal at) but was told it was for a table of four people only for it then to be given to a couple 2 minutes later. Much nicer places to visit in Hale with comfier seating and better quality food and drink. On a positive note the coffee was good and the raspberry blondie was delicious.

  • 5/5 Derek T. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in whilst having a look around Hale high street. Lovely venue with plenty of greenery and a nice outdoor area. The service area is nicely presented and tempted us to try the banana bread. Really glad we did as it was delicious, served with fruits and cream. The coffee was excellent too and all the staff were excellent.

    Brilliant customer service. Competitive prices! All vegan 🙌 Amazing smoothies and soup! Have liked them all so far. Has given me the nutrition boost I needed and have shifted some weight at the same time ( bonus). Will be sad when I finish my juice/soup cleanse and will be back for more 🥰

    Simple, quiet and lovely food, very nice location, recommended ☺️

  • 5/5 Nick 1 year ago on Google
    I have used Garden Eatery on many occasions and they are by far the best Cold Press juice cleanse option in the country. They cost a little more than others, but the quality is so far ahead than it is more than worth it. I have tried all of the other main options and they come out way on top. And for longer cleanses they send free deliveries every few days to keep the juices always fresh instead of sending the whole thing frozen. 10/10!

  • 5/5 Nikki M. 1 year ago on Google
    Warm service and incredibly well thought out menu at a reasonable price. Best coffee I’ve tasted in ages!

  • 5/5 Kiri A. 8 months ago on Google
    Stopped for lunch on a journey north. Really delicious food that left me feeling full of goodness! (the tomato and pepper soup was particularly good). Lots of tasty juices - so hard to pick one! Also a selection of raw chocolate treats in the fridge. Lovely seating outside and staff very friendly and attentive, even though it was fairly busy. Will definitely be back mext time I'm in the area

  • 1/5 Goosey R. 7 months ago on Google
    Dirty tables in spite of there only being one customer in so plenty of time to clean them. Staff spend most of their time playing on their phones and gossiping instead of doing their job. Don't even bother saying hello. It was our second visit here, we thought that it'd be good to give them another chance after the first one but unfortunately we are very disappointed and won't come back. It's a shame that employers don't care about it because the idea of a healthy coffee shop is a great one.

  • 1/5 Peter D. 4 months ago on Google
    Ordered a lunch. Sat there for half an hour and it was never even made. When I enquired where it was - they had no idea who I was and the order never went through. I wouldn’t mind but I had been sat in there drinking coffees for two hours before. Clueless.

  • 5/5 David H. 7 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. I was served like the best espresso and protein smoothie. I ordered a bunch of food for takeout and it was all fresh and raw. Tons of vegan options. They care about the world and the quality of food served. Friendly pretty staff also. Definitely worth a visit or two!

    Stopped in for a spot of lunch in the sun today, the edamame peanut crunch salad was the perfect go to when you're looking for something a little lighter in the heat! 100% recommend

  • 4/5 Devangi Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent eatery for fresh, vegetarian and even vegan food. The nice cool ambience of the cafe reminded me of a similar cafe I visited in Sydney. We ordered veggie lasagna and sourdough toast(with all the healthy ingredients 😝) They also have some interesting drinks especially almond milk and cacao with coconut sugar which I tried to make at home. Definetly worth a visit and wish we had similar eateries in Poynton.

  • 5/5 trevor j. 2 years ago on Google
    Had to share. Im still here. Lovely fresh and service with a smile

  • 3/5 Kirstie B. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was lovely but there was a little wait . Probably because of how busy they were with only 2 staff unfortunately we felt this impacted service

  • 5/5 Vicki S. 5 years ago on Google
    Was in the area specifically to try a vegan cafe but it was closed! I was recommended to go here and I was definitely not disappointed. There was vegan cake chopped up to sample at the counter which was a lovely surprise. There was lots to choose from on the menu - I opted for a cacao smoothie and a granola bowl and sat out in the sunshine. Great speedy service, lovely staff, lots of choice, tasty food and drinks, I would definitely recommend it and come back!

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply delicious! We ordered a blueberry vanilla cheesecake and it came perfectly packaged (eco supportive) and was such a delight and treat. A healthy scrumptious dessert.

  • 5/5 PUPIL Q. 2 years ago on Google
    So, here is the thing. I loved this place since I known it for. It’s not like a restaurant or coffee shop. Is more like, I’m home and I wake up and get into the kitchen and suddenly I have the people who love me preparing me food and chatting to me. This is GARDEN EATERY for you. A family environment, with humans and smiles. Shout out to LEWIS who’s just the best of it all, the most welcoming and always happy. And the food is so good. See the picture.

  • 4/5 Craig L. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious vegan blueberry coconut cheese cake. Nice coffee. The tumeric latte was lovely. Looking forward to returning to try the full menu

  • 5/5 Mary H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a late breakfast nicely poached eggs on sourdough bread with avocado. Oat milk coffee. The restaurant was quiet so I was able to relax and enjoy my breakfast. Pleasent staff who listened to my needs and had suggestions to make my breakfast tasty.

  • 5/5 Sam W. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally the best cleanse! All juices were delivered fresh, straight to my front door. They all tasted great and left me feeling full of energy. Chris was on the phone if I needed anything tweaking and was genuinely happy to help. Couldn’t recommend more highly and will definitely be purchasing another cleanse very soon.

  • 2/5 Annette D. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been here a couple of times before for food. Always found it OK, but today the food was well below mediocre. I basically paid £11 for half a tin of chicken peas and a mashed tomato. There was no flavour. The server I found rude and I really couldn't be bothered to complain, so left rather quick.... We won't be going back, there are far better with better service

  • 5/5 Jay G. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautifully run, friendly, wholesome and always satiating eatery. We moved to Hale to be close to The Garden and haven’t stopped going in the almost 6 years since. We love it.

  • 5/5 Sandra S. 2 years ago on Google
    1st time there, very impressed with the Green menu, tried a Chai/Cacao, delicious. Choice of milks to go in it; Oat/Coconut/regular😁

  • 5/5 nathan f. 2 years ago on Google
    Put simply, this is my favourite eatery in the blooming world. Not only is the food impeccable and ingredients amazing, the atmosphere and energy in The Garden is second to none. There has recently been a bunch of new staff, I am pleased to say, these guys are as much of a credit to the place and the last bunch. Super impressive - as always.

  • 5/5 John T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to eat, catch up and drink! Terrific food, smoothies and friendly service including the atmosphere. If you enjoy eating plant based and feeling well, this is the place in this part of England!

  • 2/5 Christopher P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice surroundings and I had a lovely chicken wrap and smoothie. However I ordered a takeaway salad with a topping of Matcha Salmon and when I got home found that the Salmon was missing. It wasn’t cheap either. It will cost more in petrol to return and ask for a refund. Unfortunately it was a disappointing end to a lovely lunch.

  • 4/5 Maryam A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely juices, decent food although a bit pricy! Nice for a weekend brunch
