We didn't know Flower Power had a cafe in it until a family friend showed us. Aside from it being a…read morereally nice nursery they had a lovely outdoor cafe. We came here on an early Saturday afternoon for brunch. [ Atmosphere ] There's plenty of tables for large or small parties, and the cafe is both indoor/outdoor. And a nice little playground for the kids in the corner. Oh and there's a beautiful view of the pond (with koi fish) from mostly everywhere you sit in the cafe. There are wooden beams with green ivy hanging from it, and just a variety of trees and plants everywhere. I felt like I was in a movie sitting there, it really felt whimsical. [ Menu ] - Bacon, poached egg, caesar salad. It was a good salad, but nothing too spectacular. Presentation was nice though. - Mango smoothie. This was really tasty, not to sweet, and just a real refreshing drink to have while sitting back and enjoying the natural scenery. - Pesto pasta. This was great, you can't really go wrong with a pesto pasta. - Cappuccino. Just your average [ Service ] This is why I didn't give them 5 stars, mainly because the service was pretty bad. At the time we came we understood they were understaffed, but the staff that were there at the time didn't really have a great attitude about serving us. It's times like that when you can see if someone will choose to put on a smile and serve or just be mad at the world, and boy our server was mad at the world. We felt really rushed when she was taking our order, and she didn't bother smiling at all. Even when she gave us our order, we were afraid to ask for more napkins or utensils because she seemed so disgruntled. I felt bad for her, but at the same time, it's really all about being flexible. Overall I loved this place only because of the beautiful scenery. I wish I could take my mum here, she would've loved it. I think next time we'll just order a cup of coffee/tea and just enjoy the atmosphere.

There are quite a number of nurseries around this area and my house owner decided to stop by here…read morefor a quick tea break (sort of lunch). Walked into the stores that sell the potted plants that you can purchase. There are some knick knacks too around the front area of the store and an indoor plants area on the right corner (upon coming in). Noticed a lot of new types of plants/flowers and some common ones. The layout was pretty organized and they even labelled the rows of plants accordingly so that it is easier to find. After the store, we popped by the cafe on the side. There are indoor and outdoor seating area and we sat outdoor. Was given a menu upon entering and we are supposed to order our food over the counter. The main dishes are on the pricier end but I can't really say much as I didn't see the portion. Decided to go for a mixed berry smoothie and a citrus tart instead. The mixed berry was alright as some of the berries are not fully blended in. But the touch of honey made the taste a little different. The glass was tall and definitely worth it for the money. The citrus tart. It came with two bobbing whipped cream and some different jam on the side. The tart was incredible. It was sour yet sweet on the top and crispy on the bottom and the side. One of the best tarts I've had so far. More like a combination of passion fruit and lemon meringue pie. Overall, I'm glad that the house owner stopped by here to let me try out the baked goods at the cafe :)
