The place is really peaceful and the ambience is upto the mark and especially the garden coffee is total refreshing. The waiters are very friendly and charming character which makes this place even damn fantastic and added to that price of the menu is reasonable. Overall it's worth visiting this cafe in your exhausted day.

I personally enjoyed everything about this place. It's affordable and a place to relax. They provide you with fun board games and even spacious tables to spend the evenings with friends. So my friends and I had a good time here and it was a wonderful experience to cherish. We had Espresso, Capuchinos, French Fries, Chicken, Panner, Corn and Cheese Momos, Hot Chocolate and the Hazzle Nut Latte which was really good. The serves really worth the price and of course the surrounding is an ideal location to spend some time with friends. I recommend this place for friends and even family for their recreation. They have a 20% discount on Monday for phone free tables and that's a really good initiative. Overall I love the place and would be a definite destination to visit again. I also reserved the table and at the arrival even preferred the terrace location and it was the best place to hangout. The staff was friendly and it was very convenient. SELF-SERVICE but it has its own uniqueness. Happy to spend some quality time here. Thankyou Garden Cafe....

I visited the Garden cafe for brunch on a weekday morning. It was fairly empty. The ambiance was okay. It wasn't very appealing though. Everything seemed to be a mess and the entire property could have been maintained better. It functions on a self service basis. When I asked for water, I was provided with a tall glass which wasn't even half full. Food on the other hand was tasty mostly. Quantity seemed less but I guess its okay with regards to the pricing. They have a few games and tons of books to choose from while you wait for your food. They are located on Harrington road. Do check em out if you're ever in the area.

So this place has a 20% off if you don't use ur mobile there during Mondays!. It's a nice cozy spot, they have books and games to keep us entertained. There's this spot up the roof were we sat. It was good with all the fairy lights. The hot chocolate was really good. The corn and chesse momos were appreciatable. The fries were asusual, fries! Well, it's self serve but the attenders where good, not bothering. A beautiful spot tucked inside the city.
