Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Held my daughter’s baby shower at The Secret Garden. I had first class care and service from the planning stages, with the very professional and friendly Becky(Manager) and owner Itay, to last minute changes in menu, to the set up on the day. My daughter and guests loved everything about the baby shower and numerous guests commented on the suberb food, beautiful surroundings and excellent service from Becky, Itay and Jasmine. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for making it a day to remember and cherish."
"Lovely place to visit, however the pastries are tiny, which wouldn’t be an issue if this was stated. The chocolate powder in the iced mocha was also not dissolved and clumped at the bottom. Other than that it’s a lovely place & the hot drinks are good."
"We had a couple of tasty coffees, in this charming garden cafe. I particularly was impressed with the small but beautifully tended garden centre where I was offered assistance and bought a lovely cared for plant. A must go, especially when visiting the gorgeous Ewell Park."
"I had *the most delicious* brunch and coffee at The Secret Garden. Everything done to perfection (with tons of avocado) on delicious homemade focaccia. What more could you want on a Friday morning? Thanks so much, can’t wait to come back to explore the rest of the menu."
"Lovely hidden cafe with a small nursery selling interesting plants. It's a magical spot, very comfortable with seats inside and out. The coffee is excellent, there are interesting dishes on the menu and the service is very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the avocado eggs combination, and the pastries we tried. There is a lovely park nearby perfect for a nice walk and there is free parking. It's a perfect spot for breakfast, light lunch or just great coffee and a tasty piece of cake. And it's dog friendly as well"
"A charming little café in Ewell Court Park, The Secret Garden is the perfect spot for brunch or a light lunch. We arrived just after midday and there were plenty of tables available, so we didn't have to wait. It was difficult to choose what to eat, as many of the dishes on the menu sounded great. I chose "The Secret Smash" (fried eggs and avocado on sourdough focaccia), which was delicious. The food came relatively quickly and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommended."
"The secret garden is a beautiful setting, so relaxed. friendly engaging staff always happy to please. We love coming here for the shakshuka and the smashed Avo on Foccacia which is simply delicious. We have visited some of the events as well, they are really building a lovely community around the cafe. We also visit the other location edens little bakery and chat to the staff daily."
"This place offers a completely refreshing coffee and dining experience which I highly recommend. If you are looking for GREAT coffee and GREAT food flavours then this is absolutely the place to be. The decor is beautiful and well thought out, with cute details everywhere. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. For a new business in the area, this is a great start and I can't wait to see more of their plans. There is nowhere else like this in the area which I love x"
