    I had the most magical wedding in the garden. Everyone said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and Mark is the best and most easygoing to work with. I’ve had brunch here dozens of times, but getting married here is on another level. Thank you, Garden Cafe!

    The service was great. I was seated quickly and our server was friendly. I had the gnocchi and my friend had the roasted chicken. All delicious!!! Cute patio! There's misting fan outside too, which is nice for the hot summer nights. There's plenty of seating. There's free parking and plenty of it. I would def recommend this place to anyone. I feel like it's a little hidden gem just south of Lower Greenville tucked into a neighborhood.

    The atmosphere is enchanting and my photos don't really do it justice. The owners have put a lot of loving energy into the ambiance. There are cooling fans that blow water from the posts of the bergola and there are mini fans for each table. One minute you are driving along bustling Gaston Avenue then you drive a couple of blocks to Junius and you transported to this serene oasis. There is literally a garden with plants, flowers, and herbs. The only thing I did not care for is dining with dogs. I am a pet lover but I leave my pets at home or take them to venues designed for animals like a dog park. They do their best to make some item menus from scratch. The service is excellent. I was advised it is best to make a reservation online and you can even request your preferred seat! This place is a cut above but is only open on Thursday, Fri, Sat and Sunday so make your way there as it will fill your belly and lift your spirits!

    Cute, delicious, and very well served place. Be sure to reserve a table way ahead if you want to have brunch on a weekend.

    I am staying in Old East Dallas and found this place walking distance from my apartment. It’s in a beautiful neighborhood! They have a nicely decorated indoor area and bar as well as a large back patio. I’ve been for dinner now a few times and brunch once. Service is always great and the food is amazing. I’ve tried 4 different dinner options and haven’t been disappointed yet. Love checking out the garden as well.

    Nice unique spot that is tucked into a local Dallas neighborhood. We stopped by to have brunch. Good service and good food. Outdoor patio is a nice setup mixed amongst the gardens. Don’t forget to stop by to see the chickens. Several gluten free choices on the menu. Brussels sprouts were great. Small parking lot next to the restaurant or street parking. A kid’s playground is across the street should the kids need an energy outlet.

    One of the best brunch spots in Dallas! All their food is super flavorful & well priced. The potato casserole brunch dish is a must try along with their sausage.

    Beautiful outside patio area surrounded by a lush vegetable garden. There are a couple of chickens and a child's play area. The inside dining area is cozy with comfortable booths. If you want to eat in the garden on a weekend, make reservations! The food is delicious, and the portions are good. Lots of menu items that cater to everyone, including vegetarians. The staff is funny and attentive. Our waiter Holden gave us lots of suggestions, and his witty banter kept everyone laughing. This is the perfect place to eat outside when the weather is great. If the weather is an issue, just eat inside and enjoy all the terrific home cooked food!

    On a quiet sunday morning, this lil cafe proves to be the best decision we made in under 10mins after our 7mile trail at the White Rock Lake. Located comfortably about 3miles from the beautiful white rock lake, this cafe is situated in a quaint neighborhood and has ample seating both indoors and outdoors. Love their website and menu, the classic french toast and garden omlette (with vegan sausage) was to die for! Great service and ambiance. Definitely going here again😄

    We loved the atmosphere at Garden Cafe. The reason for the 3 stars is because the service took extremely long to get anything, everything from ordering to getting our cutlery. My husband had ordered a burger and asked for the meat to be medium rare, but then it ended up coming well done. When a couple of our friends ordered espressos, they arrived and tasted very salty, which was strange. They also only have beer and wine, as they don’t have their liquor license just yet. We wanted to love our first experience, but we just didn’t. Sadly, we won’t come back again, since there are so many other places to try in Dallas.

    I ABSOLUTELY love this place. It’s definitely a hidden gem. It feels like I drove out of town to a farm and ate the best pancakes ever. It was nice walking around to see all the veggies that were planted in the garden and the chickens they have. Visiting gave me so much serotonin.

    This was like a little secret garden. I feel like the secret was how amazing the food was. Literally, everything we ate was so good. Shrimp and grits were delicious (I'm a NOLA frequenter... and it was legit good). The dessert was awesome too. And my son met some new friends in the garden! The Mondrain Composition coop was so cute ❤️💙💛. Definitely will go back. Such a sweet spot.

    I ordered Country Boy Benedict, it was good in taste and fresh. The gravy was yummy. Macchiato came in a cute cup and was strong. I didn't like the Strawberry Shortcake it was just cream and strawberries on the biscuit. The biscuit was salty and it was weird in taste.

    I have been coming here since they opened but have only been a couple of times since they went full service (once for brunch and last night for dinner). This place is a singular experience in Dallas. Have never, in a dozen years, had any meal here that was less than stellar or service that wasn't awesome (so ignore any reviews saying otherwise). OMG this pork chop and red cabbage were soooooo good. Also had the burrata, chicken n dumplings, and collards. All A++.

    My husband and I love going here for dinner! The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. We couldn’t stop talking about the grilled artichoke and aioli. It is a place where we can actually have a conversation and don’t feel rushed. It’s truly a unique gem and we will be back.

    Amazing food ! It was so fresh and delicious:). This was our first time here and our server misty was amazing. She was very kind and made sure we were taken care of the whole entire time. She explained the food in a way I wanted to eat everything if I could. Misty is one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had!!!!

    Such a lovely establishment. I have no complaints from the 3 times ive been here both alone and with my partner. The people who work here are so sweet. The food is great and a decent deal for the price. Its so peaceful here and the coffee is quite good in my opinion. Pictured is the lavender creme brulee. So yummy 💗

    This place was delicious! I had the vegan Alfredo and it was truly a 5 star meal. Also, Petra was a fantastic server and very well informed on everything and I’ll be sure to request them next time I’m in town :)

    Such a beautiful place to dine at. It has the direct farm to plate policy and the ambience is very nice. My waitress Misti did a wonderful job by explaining everything regarding the garden, and the dishes. The dishes were also served quickly and it was delicious. The rates were nominal and they have both indoor and outdoor seating!
