The Hidden Garden Cafe

A hidden gem inside Flower Power. Lovely garden café with friendly staff and one of the tastiest breakfasts I’ve had. Beautifully presented and so delicious.

I came here for brunch and the place has a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the big breakfast and it took a while to be served, but once it arrived, the food was quite good. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy a quiet meal.

I’m surprised at all the good reviews. Came in on a cold day and the place was empty. Ordered four meals. The guy serving couldn’t get the drinks right. One guy cooking took absolutely forever. Meals dropped out one by one and then said needed more time to make pancakes. Food was ok but looks nothing like the videos they’ve put on social media.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden Garden Cafe at Mascot Flower Power is a delightful gem! The food is not only delicious but also reasonably priced, making it a perfect spot for any meal. The ambiance is refreshing, surrounded by beautiful plants and lush greenery that create a serene atmosphere. Highly recommend for a lovely dining experience!

After reading all these fabulous reviews I thought yes we must try this place. I had been to the one at Enfield and it was particularly good so we rocked up to Flower Power at 9:50 yesterday morning and made our way to the Hidden Garden cafe, As we had limited time, we were dropping someone off at the airport, we informed the person serving us that we needed to be out by 10.45 they assured us this was possible- so three out of the four dishes we ordered required Avocado. Little did we know these small but delicious fruits was going to be our downfall. After waiting 40 minutes we had drunk our coffees. One of our meals appeared the eggs Benedict which had no avocado. Was quickly consumed and was delicious I believe- us three well.. we continued to wait for our meals so at 10:30. I went inside to find out what the holdup was only to be told we’re waiting on our avocado delivery ??? Huh?! seriously guys why don’t you tell us that when we ordered 40 minutes ago? Food eventually arrived. It was unrecognisable compared to what we thought we had ordered. Micro herbs, ancient dried out lemon wedges and strawberries have no place on scrambled eggs. Neither does using some kind of reduced balsamic glaze zooshed on the plate assist with avocado just give me what I’ve ordered.My bacon was burnt cold and slimy full of fat. Obviously they had cooked everything and then put things on hold waiting for the avocado. I have no doubt that the food is good on an average day when they have all the bits they require to make the menu, however, the service and the way they went about selectively telling us that they didn’t have ingredients especially when we had told them we had a time constraint was unacceptable. All round pretty poor especially as the whole exercise costs over $120 not really that great oh and I had told them it was my birthday because it was and guess what? Didn’t even offer me a free birthday coffee to makeup for all this- Yeah, not a great start to the day. I very much doubt I will go there again despite loving the venue and the surrounds in Flower Power. Service was awful! Let the hidden garden stay hidden!
