This place is super cute and has great vibes. However, severely understaffed for a weekend brunch. Waited an hour and a half for our food only to have some of it arrived burned. Would recommend just coming for coffee or bringing your own food to sit on the patio. There were only two people working the cafe and I know they were doing their best, but there should have been at least two more people working for the amount of orders and size of the restaurant. Would come again if they can get some more workers. read more

Limited menu but good food. We especially like the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup combo. Anything but basic. Try it you'll like it!

Service at 1 pm on a Friday was incredibly slow. Over an hour to get a panini and a salad. Shouldn't take that long from an order at the counter restaurant. And we were told that our food was on the way several times. Had to cancel our order. It's a shame - such a beautiful place but such poor service. read more

Very cute for lunch or lite bites. If it's busy do not expect table service but it's a small space so it's no problem ordering at the counter. read more

I had business in Dallas and was looking for a little place to stop in and grab a bite. This cute little cafe is in the same driveway as Northhavens nursery. It was so cute, clean, so cool inside with lots of things to look at. I had a chicken salad sandwich with chips and they had a very tasteful strawberry lemonade with basil, all so good. Service was great, they dropped my plate & picked it up. I'd definitely eat there again. July 2023 read more

If your around north Dallas and you love nature and plants - lovely views and cool drinks and fresh salads and sandwiches you have to try this place, you won't regret it! read more

Came here for the Father's Day Brunch and it was just ok...not bad, for sure not great, just ok. The buffet was not cheap, but lacked selection beyond the basic fare of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, potatoes, and a few breads and cookies. The setting is very pleasant though, looking out over the plants etc in the nursery. Not quite a normal setting for a restaurant, but it worked. read more

The young lady behind the counter was very sweet and patient with me going over my options and the food was delicious. I love the atmosphere as well. Such a cute little cafe tucked away. 10/10 would recommended read more

Great ambience! Came in for a quick coffee but stayed for the great shop and garden. Will definitely come in next time and bring friends here as the atmosphere is really inviting. read more

Great food and relaxing atmosphere! Super cute place and very friendly and helpful staff.

This place is a little slice of heaven! The setting is so unique being in a nursery! Seating was both outside and inside, since the weather was overcast and breezy of course we opted for outside. The menu is very fresh and inspiring. The portion sizes were perfect. The menu prices were standard. We ordered the 1/2 grilled cheese with a salad, passion tea, hand carved turkey sandwich, and chicken salad sandwich. Mine was the turkey and it was thick cut slices that remind me of thanksgiving - the flavors were on point and the ciabatta roll that it came on was the cherry on top! I will definitely be back! read more

I was looking for a new coffee shop to meet up with a friend on a weekday and came across this place on Yelp. Based on the photos and reviews, I thought it would be the perfect meeting spot. However, I was wrong. We arrived a little after 9 am (they open at 9am) and the entry doors were locked. No one opened them for us, so we had to walk through the restroom entrance. We were not given any menus and uncertain of what to order because it was empty accept for a small glass tray of assorted bakery items. I asked if they had matcha, no, I asked if they had lemonade, no because it wasn't made yet. I asked if they offered breakfast, again, no. I was very disappointed in my experience and would not come back. read more

I am in love not only with NHG, the STUNNING boutique, Ralph & Rose, the staff, management, products, but THE COOKIES! it's become a problem, a delicious one! read more

Is it a*Hidden Gem* you be the judge! So i stumbled on this spot. Good vibes, beautiful, scenery. If you come early it's quiet and you could definitely get some work done! Food selection is limited but if everything is as good as the Frittata that i had wow! This spot is awesome! read more

Cute setting and a very good BLT. Losing stars because took over 30 minutes to get the food, and about five minutes to order. I think they have a quite small kitchen or staff. Made it hard for a quick lunch break in allotted time. read more

The breakfast sandwich completes every check mark on what I want from the ingredients listed. The sausage had a great, seasoned pork taste, without being too greasy. Each ingredient was layered evenly, standing in harmony for every bite. If I had to be super picky, I would desire the sourdough bread to be slightly thicker to give my teeth a more satisfying chew. Otherwise, the bread had a great tang and was moist. The jelly they provide on the side was a nice touch. I like that it wasn't automatically added. I was quite surprised there are no condiments, but it didn't even need it. read more

First off, the location of this cafe is lovely. It's hidden in a garden/greenhouse type of space, which gives it a certain charm that I just loved. The location and ambiance is why I gave it three stars instead of less than three. Now the food is limited in terms of options and we went for brunch, but the thing I was most bothered by was that it's advertised as a cafe yet they could not make a latte because "it's not listed on the menu." They listed coffee and iced coffee, but nothing more fancy than that. I ordered the French toast, which was okay at best. You order at the counter and grab a number and then they bring the order over to your table. The people who worked here were nice, but I just didn't like that they couldn't accommodate by making a latte when it's called a cafe. Just seems misleading. read more

Love this adorable cafe! It's a true hidden gem for sure! Has delicious food! I have enjoyed everything here- soups, sandwiches, their delicious tea! Definitely support this place! You won't regret it!!! read more

This place was fantastic! The food was very good and the restaurant was clean. The service was also very good.

I ordered two sandwiches to go for $27. The fake-friendly cashier turned around and started preparing my food with her bare hands. As she finished, I heard her cough. I could not tell whether she turned her head or covered her mouth with her hand or elbow (prep space is not visible from the dining area), but she then packed my food into a bag. I considered asking for a refund, but decided against it. Took the food home. Could not eat it. Threw it away. Not recommended. Yuk. read more

I loooove this place. Came on a beautiful rainy day. Was extremely hungry and found this on Yelp. Had to walk through the indoor nursery to get to the cafe. It was so clean and empty and quiet. They had WiFi too so I studied while I waited for my order and ate, with a wonderful view of the nursery. She made my sandwich (Applewood BLT) pretty quick and it tasted really fresh and warm. Love how she didn't skimp on the meat. Outdoor seating is great too but I didn't try it because of the rain. Really only taking away that 1 Star for the pricing- $14 plus tax and tip for a BLT? . And that was one of the less expensive items too. Granted, it was decently sized and includes a choice of fruit or chips, and came with a pickle spear. I would have priced the whole thing at like $10.99. Maybe it doesn't seem like a big difference, but it is to me. I am definitely coming back though! read more

Great location and excellent service. We came here for breakfast and unfortunately were not impressed with the food quality. I had the frittata and it was very dry. We might come back to try their lunch offerings. read more

Great taste every time as well as a beautiful presentation. The Bacon and Cheddar Frittata is wonderful. The Avocado Toast is a must! read more

**UPDATED** Because the manager reached out to both my husband and I to try and make things right, I have updated my review from one star to 3. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The food was mediocre at best. Handling our food with no gloves? Major no-no. The staff seemed not so happy about their job and it showed in the food. Sad because I think this place could be a real gem if they could get the food and staff right. read more

Great little spot, hidden in the beautiful gardens! This café is clean and friendly. The food is prepared fresh and to order. I would have liked lettuce and tomato on my wonderful sunrise sandwich, but I forgot to ask. Next time. Come check it out! You'll be glad you did. read more

If you enjoy gardening, or if you're looking for a new source of plants and flowers to bolster your in-home/outdoor garden, or, you just enjoy being in an outdoor space, then North Haven Gardens is for you! VENUE: The whole establishment is nestled on a small street just off the highway. It has a café, an art gallery, a greenhouse, and an outdoor space where you can peruse through all sorts of plants and flowers, or survey some of their outdoor exhibits. Last Saturday, my boyfriend and I went and there were chicken vendors who were showing off gorgeous chickens and roosters for purchase. We were starving and so we walked into the café to grab something to eat. Side note: there is seating both indoors and outdoors - so feel free to bring your dogs to enjoy the space with you. The outdoor seating is situated between the café and the art gallery, all underneath a nice canopy, so the sun won't beat down on you. The indoor café is bright, with lots of natural light. After placing we order, we walked through the back of the café to the art gallery, where there were gorgeous pieces for sale. From there, we walked outdoors to the greenhouse and just window-shopped (does that term apply in an outdoor space?) for some herbs to add to the kitchen. All the plants are nicely organized for easy access and finding. FOOD/DRINK: The café serves BEER and WINE!!! I know that's a selling point for some of y'all but that's not why you should eat here. The sandwiches. Are. Fantastic. I hear the chef of the café has won an award for her burger. They were sold out when we went last time, but the sandwiches were delicious. I ordered the Applewood BLT with a side of fruit. The bread was just on the cusp between warm, soft and crispy, the bacon was seasoned just right, and the garlic aioli brought all the flavors together. If you want a savory option, I recommend this one. My boyfriend ordered the turkey sandwich which highlighted red onions and honey mustard to pull in a more sweet/savory flavor. Really, all the sandwiches on their menu sounded amazing - I will definitely go for the grilled cheese or the burger when I return next. SERVICE: I'm really not surprised that in a place where gorgeous flowers are blooming and fountains are singing -that the staff (in both café and greenhouse) were just the most delightful, peaceful, and helpful people. From ordering food, to inquiring about chickens or a persimmon tree, every point of contact we made was done so with just the friendliest team. There was definitely a desire to teach and share knowledge rather than to try and sell us anything. Truly a place to go if you want to enjoy nice weather or nice food or nice people. read more

I dropped a friend off here and its definitely a little hidden gem. I've passed here so often but never knew the depth of this establishment. It was the cutest little place and who knew they have an art studio, yoga classes and a awesome cafe. Such a serene place! The amazing part about this place is, they have a full bar. They offer smoothies., beer and wine....AMAZING. I can't wait to bring some girlfriends here for a nice brunch on the patio enjoying the art and the awesome flowers. I also heard that the owners that run the Dallas arboretum is also the owners of the cafe and art room. WHO KNEW? read more

Freshly baked desserts, lovely salads with generous portions of juicy chicken, delightfully flavored teas, and a view of one of the best nurseries in Dallas...this is my happy place! I can't think of a better way to spend Saturday lunch. (Especially after a less-than-wholesome Cinco de Mayo.) Lunch at the cafe, which also serves refreshing mimosas and bellinis, is just what I needed to cleanse myself of recent tequila-related misdeeds. Doesn't hurt that afterward, I found awesome presents for my family and a pretty or two for the house. read more

This is a must try breakfast spot inside a garden store. The chef can whip up some dang good breakfast. They serve alcohol, green juices, coffee and pretty much everything you will need to get your day started. I used a 2 mile radius search from the 635/75 intersection for brunch breakfast places and no other brunch/breakfast place compares to this gem. read more

Seriously who knew this place was here! Okay a lot of people since it was packed but still feels like I stumbled into a secret brunch gardening cult. Food was great! A bit on the pricey side for a turkey sandwich and mimosas, but well worth it considering the time saved when one is on a begonia run during brunching hour. The cafe is inside the nursery grounds. Well kept, clean and tidy. Seating is available both inside and out. Cafe and sandwich fare, well prepared and quite tasty. If you are looking for a huge expansive menu or a gigantic meal best go elsewhere. The ticket to table time can get long if they have a rush, but its easy to kill time staring at flowers. This is an order at the counter, get a number find a table place. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. Will definitely come again anytime I'm shopping for plants. read more

Great casual atmosphere with tasty, fresh food surrounded by lush plants and artwork. What's not to love? Order at the counter and they'll bring out beautiful dishes to enjoy. The tomato and spinach frittata, migas and avocado toast were all perfection. Highly recommended! read more

My mother and I visited the cafe for the first time today. We had the chicken pesto club sandwich and a cup of their soup. Honestly, that was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. After lunch, we shared a piece of pumpkin pie the cafe had made from one of the unusual pumpkins they sell at the gardens. This is one of my new favorites! read more

Really neat place in a plant shop. Head straight through the nursery to find the cafe. Food was pretty good and so was the coffee. A bit pricey though. Cant complain too much though because you're looking at a whole nursery while eating. read more

Excellent menu. Reasonable to premium pricing, but worth it. The cafe is clean, the smell of fresh flowers outside, the food was perfect. (I was here for early brunch and it was raining so not that many people) this is a nice hideaway to escape the chain places that are loud, crowded and full of annoying people. (You know who you are). Place has indoor and outdoor covered patio!! read more

Great food. Great environment. Friendly staff. I love this place. One of my fav summer/spring lunch and brunch hideouts. Highly recommended! Such a hidden gem! read more

The Cafe' has opened! I chose the half sandwich option, and selected the Turkey sandwich. Served on wheat bread, the turkey was tender and juicy, the Gouda and Applewood bacon were perfectly smoked, and the greens were fresh. As I do not like onions, I omitted both the red onions and honey mustard dressing. I choose the side of fresh fruit instead of the chips, and received an ample serving of peach slices, orange slices, red grapes, and blueberries. The thoughtful staff sent a small bowl of olive oil out with my sandwich, since I had omitted the dressing, and it was absolutely perfect. Rounded out with a wonderful glass of iced tea, this was a delicious and plentiful meal accompanied by excellent wait staff. read more

The Cafe has made from scratch dishes with fresh ingredients. It is a great escape from the city to eat surrounded by garden flowers. Only open until 3PM, but the service is fast and there is ample seating available. Don't forget to try The Avocado Toast. read more
