Lee Rowan's Gardenworld

Set in the back of the nursery this cafe (not affiliated with the greenery) has quick service, friendly staff and yummy pastries.

Beautiful nursery, love the way it is set out, plants are so well looked after by staff who are so well educated and helpful.
Highly recommend a visit, also lovely gift shop to browse too.

This is no reflection on the nursery itself but our experience at the cafe was not pleasant. We came for lunch on our way from Sydney to Port Stephens only to be told the kitchen was closed - at 1.30pm (NOT what we’d seen online). We made do with a takeaway coffee and even when we’d finished that we were chased down to take our rubbish away with us! Poor service…

Worst toasted ham, cheese, tomato sandwich ive ever had

Cost $17
bread so thick, cheese horrible ham chunky and it fell apart as u tried to eat it.
Just a horrible meal

Please contact us. The wood you sold us is terrible. It is not seasoned and needs another 12 months before it's ready for use. We are really struggling to keep the fire going, some of the pieces are wet to the touch when they are split, and we cannot keep the fire going over night, let alone 2 hours

Lovely cafe where the food is delicious. Specialist plants, great pots and gift items available. What more could you want?

Lee Rowan has a fantastic array of shrubs and flowers etc but the real bonus is the great eatery there. It's menu is awesome, very fresh and tasty. Five stars for meals and service.

Fantastic nursery with beautiful plants, if you want cheap and nasty don't come here, if you want great looking healthy plants come here, the Cafe is great also.

Food nice but staff somewhat abrupt.and being ignored whilst waiting for service.a simple. Hi.be with you in a moment.

This place made an excellent food stop on our road trip to Sydney. Good place to “fuel” up and take a break before tackling the Sydney traffic! Really good food options. Coffee was great. Staff were attentive. So nice to sit in quiet surroundings in a pleasant outdoor garden atmosphere. Better than sitting in (taking a break) in an ugly commercial service centre. You can sit indoors in their very airy cafe. Overall it is a really nice experience.

Great choice of garden and landscaping products and a pleasant cafe in an ambient setting with good service pleasant staff and homely meals.

Friendly and knowledgeable garden staff and a cafe with delicious food and great customer service for breakfast, lunch, or something sweet.

Great garden centre, but we went there for the garden cafe - excellent food, great service, and set in the middle of the garden. We stop there regularly when travelling down the M1.

This used to be a great cafe. But current procedures have destroyed all traces of a relaxing experience. Hope they come to their senses some time soon.

Absolutely amazing, we went their for my mothers wake. They could not have been nicer or more attentive if they'd tried, plus the food was really great. Highly recommend using these facilities for a wake or any other event!

Gardenia Cafe's service was bad: confusing, unfriendly and took an eternity. It would be better not to offer table service and let clients do the job.

Awesome place to see, great nursery.inside is a big cafe serving all day breakfast and coffee.good clean and tidy place.

A very decent nursery. The plants were all looking healthy and well maintained. The staff seemed very knowledgeable.

The cafe has good coffee, good food and very good service.

Flat surfaces, but not solid, so may be difficult for some walking frames and wheelchairs.

Overall just a niceplace to visit.

Prices average, range good, cafe pragmatic. Its ok but there are more entertaining garden centres on the central coast.

We go there for the cafe which is one of the best on the coast. Great range of food and drinks at reasonable prices.
