This bistro/coffee shop is located inside the garden centre, and it doubles as a bookshop and an antiques shop. The service is very prompt and friendly, and their food and cakes are great.

This was such an amazing find with cozy vibes. A lovely little cafe on the mezzanine in a garden centre. They had lots of cool art pieces and interesting books littered around the cafe. They offer a brunch menu of which we had the mushroom and focaccia and the eggs verde which were both delicious. The garden centre was big with a large selection and had reasonable prices compared to some others around London. 11/10 would recommend.

A charming, world relaxing friendly cafe & bookshop that feels like you’ve wandered into a country house tucked away in the middle of North London. Wonderful atmosphere delicious food especially the polenta or almond cake, a fabulous way of books, painting furniture, household accessories & very friendly staff. Plus above wonderful Camden Garden Centre. Quite magicall

A most lovely brunch dish here in a quaint cafe above a garden centre, decorated in a traditional style with old furniture, antique books and with peaceful music in the background. I found the venue on Google and was surprised when I arrived at the entrance to a garden centre off a residential street, but undeterred embraced and I am so glad I did. This seems to be a place that locals 'in the know' go for a catch-up with friends or a quiet morning with family. It was a refreshing experience to have a venue that wasn't overly commercialised and where the staff and other clientele seemed to show each other mutual respect, were willing to engage in conversation, and where time slows down a little to enable the experience to be enjoyed while reading a book or a newspaper. This is a desirable and unexpected contrast to the typical commercialisation experienced in London in which food venues of a similar size and quality are so often transactional, focussed on high turnover of tables, expensive experiences with limited human touches. I ate on a Sunday when the venue was reasonably quiet around 11am. Service was prompt and efficient from the kitchen and drinks service, and they very kindly topped up my pot of tea in the price I'd paid. It is clear that great care has been taken to design a menu incorporating ingredients of the highest quality and care in sourcing, and this is to be commended for the price, which was not unreasonable for London. I was able to relax here for some time and enjoy a peaceful morning. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic lunch at this Vegetarian restaurant above Camden Garden Centre, made to feel so welcome and extremely well looked after by our server. Delicious food and natural wines. We had field mushrooms and courgette soup to start with followed be some tasty dishes with gigantic beams, courgettes, and carrots. We did not have room for dessert, but everything on the menu looked lovely. We will definitely come here to eat again...
