    Extremely pretty cafe and lots of choice on the menu. The drinks that allow you to choose a theme etc were a fun touch- I had a rocky road latte, whilst my partner wasn't that adventurous and stuck to english breakfast tea! Really enjoyed our time here and would recommend.

    Best cafe in Plymouth! Unicorn and Harry potter cream teas, what more could you need?! Becoming extreamly popular and is only a small premises, if your looking for the cream tea then id recommend booking in advance, lovely courtyard seating area, perfect in the summer. Friendly staff, great selection. We love it here!

    Absolutely wonderful! Have visited the cafe previously and always enjoy the novelty hot chocolates. Under new ownership, they've changed the menu, but improved the range of hot chocolate and included milk shakes, which look amazing! They had a large gathering that we're ordering/being served just as we arrived. They made us feel welcome and valued as customers. Apologised profusely for the more than understandable wait. Food was fabulous and well portioned. Kids enjoyed one each of the hot chocolates and milkshakes and I had a pot of tea which filled 3 cups. Lovely, pleasant atmosphere and kind thoughtful owners. We will be back!

    Pretty poor service provided, with wrong items being served and questions asking 'did you order this' The cake, Lemon drizzle, was stone cold, the sponge collapsed into thousands of tiny particals which were hard to eat. Why refrigerate cake? It's a shame because the interior is very nice. The 'garden' less so.

    Very pretty place with nice friendly staff however I must say the food was not pleasant at all, I ordered scrambled eggs and asked if it was possible to have fried eggs and the response I got was “unfortunately not as all our eggs are microwaved”…I certainly do not appreciate being served microwaved eggs that tasted wet and unpleasant when being charged over £20 for my visit! It makes me wonder if everything else is also microwaved. The desserts are nice though so would recommend those.

    Friendly staff and good food, stopped here for breakfast on a wander round Plymouth … had the pancakes and bacon and a light brunch, very nice.

    The Flower Cafe was an AMAZING venue for our little meet up. They were really organised and communication beforehand was exceptional. All the food was delicious and they catered well for everyone. Thank you for having us!

    We went there for a bespoke private event. Enjoyed it very much. I had the gluten free tea for one. The only reason it loses a star; for the price, £10.99, although it was reasonable enough, I would have liked more than a single cup of coffee. Maybe a small cafetiere or at least a refill. I had a sandwich, a scone with jam and cream and a coffee. I asked for a small jug of tap water too. There were pots of tea for those having tea but no pots of coffee and no pots of hot water. That said, the food was wonderful and everything else was perfect. My sandwich was cheese and cucumber with nice gluten free bread and the right depth of filling but no seasoning and the scone was perfect. The scone had just the right texture and didn't taste gluten free. I asked for my own pot of jam and cream as everyone else assumed I was getting them and divided their group teas accordingly which was fair enough. The service ( new owner last September) was wonderful and this small gripe didn't diminish the fun of the occasion. But more drinks would have made it perfect. It was a hot day and we arrived thirsty. The presentation was gorgeous and we all had china cake stands placed in front of us. It felt like a posh spa weekend but convivial and great for chatting. There are now several plant based and gluten free cakes and a red velvet cake and a caramel cake that were highly praised by those who had the deluxe tea. I highly recommend this place. You would struggle to get to the toilet if in a wheelchair, possibly, but this is an old building. It may be that they have a portable ramp for the doorway, I don't know. Otherwise, it's all ground level including the toilets, which I didn't visit.

    My wife suggested we first this small cafe on the Barbican. It was quite quiet and the service was quick. I had a nice cappuccino but my wife went for one of their speciality hot chocolates. This is an oreo one, heaped full of goodies (and possibly a few cslorues). Really nicely presented and good service

    Lovely light brunch, drinks and staff. We always enjoy the decor and the surroundings, the effort they put in makes the place welcoming. Prices are very competitive. Well worth a visit.

    Dropped in for a cream tea on our walk around the Barbican. Glad Duttons was closed now now as the gluten free scones are the best we’ve had. Very moist and not crumbling to dust like most gluten free scones do. Tea was very good too. Returned another afternoon to have another cream tea before we returned home.

    Cute place. Great food. Went there in three different occasions and the quality was still there. It is a cute place to go with kids because they have se fun themathic milkshakes. Also queen sponge is really good there.

    Loved The Flower Cafe. Breakfast was fantastic and the latte well made. Service couldn’t have been any better. We met the owner, David, and he told us about some local places to go. Super nice guy. If you want a lovely local place to grab a bite I highly recommend The Flower Cafe.

    Nice coffee, scones could have been bigger, not enough clotted cream, staff were lovely but they were under pressure!

  • 5/5 Sue D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cream tea was excellent. The scones were not large but they were light and melted in your mouth.the English tea hit the spot after a wander round the barbican.

    Went here to The Flower Cafe this morning for some breakfast before heading back home. Wasn't disappointed. The light brunch was really nice and the fresh scones were amazing! The staff here are really friendly and approachable 🌷☕🦄
