The place is packed to the brim with gorgeous arrangements and outside there are plants galore. They fill the street out the front so you can browse them as you are walking past. Something usually tempts my eye and there I am, walking away with at least a bunch of poppy's. For $10, why not? The people are just so lovely in here and what seems like a straightforward transaction of 'see flower, purchase flower' actually ends up being a convo for ten minutes. They do the wrap for a gift or wrap for home like most places do and I have been satisfied if it is a present and even more satisfied at what they charge me.

There's a veritable forest of greenery out the front of the store, making it hard to walk past without at least smelling the sweet fragrance of a flower or three. Inside, the store is jam-packed with plants and flowers, almost to the ceiling!

You can get a beautiful bouquet of whatever flowers you like for under $10! It's a steal. I could just spend days here.

The interior is clean with white tile floorings and white plywood furnishings as if to humbly let the sweets and the flowers take centre stage. The menu comprises of floral influenced sweets and drinks. I opted for the very instagrammable looking Terrarium, a white chocolate globe filled with passion fruit and finger lime pannacotta, brown butter soil and edible flowers. It's an incredibly delicate dessert that taste as good as it looks. I enjoyed it with a pot of Le Vie En Rose Tea which perfectly complements the dessert. The Summer Rose Pav, with earl grey tea meringue, rose chantily cream, fresh strawberries, freeze dried raspberries, candied orange and lemon balm was vibrant and light. Their brownie was rich with generous amount of walnuts in the brownie. I washed all these down with Watermelon and Earl Grey Ice Tea which was refreshing and as elegant as their cakes. I genuinely enjoyed the whole experience. The space is limited but the wait for the table is worth it. Warning: you will want to eat every cake in here, they're that pretty!

It was delicious. They had plenty of other options, in particular, a "snickers/twix bar style dessert", juices and coffees. Check out their instagram for further pics of their offerings. A little hard to find (near the domain parking entrance), and more what I would call Darlinghurst (than wooloomooloo as listed in their address). Very artistically cool

I came here for lunch during my lunch break at my store - Diane's Crystals On George Street. Their selection of tuna is to die for - I had the super salad with extra tuna (hold the salad). The aura is very pleasant. I personally was able to have a peaceful realignment process after a negative experience at another location that I shall never mention again! Their menu was divine before, unfortunately it has removed some museli and tuna. However, I am still able to find a nourishing dish to achieve photosynthesis peacefully. Come one, come all!

Does anybody have thoughts on this matter? Let me know.

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.

When I put the plants in to be clipped, the owner said he'd re-use 1 pot, so I'd only need to purchase 1 pot for the other plant which had grown. I asked what the price would be for the additional pot, plus the trimming, to be told $30-$40 total. On collecting the plants a week later the price was suddenly $70!!!! I questioned this to be told that was the price now! I'll be going elsewhere or doing them myself in the future, because this is just far too expensive. A new bonsai every year would be cheaper!
