She makes you feel welcomed every time with a warm greeting.Its not just a cafe but an experience!"

"After a 4 mile hike in Robinson preserve we drove into the Botanical Gardens. What a wonderful find. Although the Tea Tree Cafe was technically closed, we were treated as if king and queen by Drew. She happily made us a turkey and raspberry sandwich on cranberry walnut bread complete with chips and a coke. We also reaped the benefits of the Tea earlier in the day with fabulous mini carrot cake muffins and a blackberry scone. The food was literally the best turkey sandwich I've ever had, as were the deserts; fresh, moist and to our surprise, gluten free. Eating on the patio, was peaceful which was followed by a leisurely relaxing walk through the gardens. We are very grateful for such a gracious welcome by Drew to the Tea Tree Cafe, the wonderful meal and introduction to the Botanical Gardens. A "must visit"! Thanks Drew."

"Had delicious baked goods and coffee while looking out at the pond and plants. We walked around the garden while we waited for the cafe to open. The garden is free and the proceeds from the cafe go towards the garden."

"My family had a phenomenal experience. The cafe is in the middle of the Palma Sola Botanical Park, so we enjoyed our meal with a beautiful view of the water and flowers. The staff, especially Drew, were warm and welcoming. Everything was delicious, and overall a great experience. Even our grandmother, who has mobility issues, enjoyed the botanical garden from her chair at the cafe. If you are looking for a tea shop or cafe this is THE place to go."

"The Tea Tree Cafe is the perfect place to stop for a refreshing + healthy bite to eat! It’s located within Palma Sola Botanical Gardens so you can enjoy the peace of the gardens while your food is prepared. Drew is awesome! They answered all of our questions + made awesome recommendations! The Tea Tree Cafe is across the street from Robinson Preserve so if you come off the trails or water —hungry, you will be not be disappointed! Everything is made fresh to order + with vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options too! I loved the hummus+ cucumber wrap! My lunch dates raved about their turkey raspberry + goat cheese sandi! The carrot cake cupcake (gluten free) was out of this world! I’m coming back for the red velvet! What an absolutely lovely place to have coffee + lunch! 10/10 recommend!"
