   Lovely cafe with outside terrace surrounded by plants. Good range of food and cakes. Find a table first and then go and order at the counter. Although it was a busy midmorning, we only had to wait a few minutes to have our order taken. Our tea and cakes arrived at our table five minutes later.

   Non existent service, no decent food options if you come after 11.30. great the garden but eat or drink before going there. We tried to order twice, calling someone, the place was almost empty and 4 ppl behind the counter. They say they were coming, after 24min waiting we just left. No welcoming at the entrance, no service at all and a very poor lunch menu and we couldn't even order a cup of tea. The outside place is lovely but they really need to change the staff at least.

   The Secret Garden Cafe at Prior Park Garden Centre is a decent stop for coffee and a bite—good breakfast options, though service can lag and prices feel high. No frills, just a garden centre vibe. But beware: a 5-star review photo showing a nearby bridge is misleading—there’s no bridge anywhere close.

   We popped into this cafe for lunch. It's situated inside the garden centre upstairs. The menu has good variety. The food we ate was delicious. The staff are pleasant. We had a good experience and highly recommend this sweet cafe. 5stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   At Sept 2022, our visit was post-refurb and with the cafe under new management. The Secret Garden cafe used to be our favourite lunch/coffee/cake spot in Bath for the past 2 decades, but it now feels like it is run by a faceless company looking for profit. You now have to wait to be shown to a table (why?), the menu and food lacks creativity, hygiene standards have dropped, and unfortunately we spent our time there trying to think about an alternative cafe where we could go in the future. We noticed that uncovered knives, forks and sugar cubes were stored on the tables - not good for hygiene. Also on the tables were ketchups and mayo bottles, some of which should be refrigerated. The staff used their fingers to push cakes onto serving plates, rather than utensils. Delivery of cups of coffee took an age - the coffee machine capacity was no match for the seating capacity of the cafe. Staff were pleasant, but obviously stressed. During our visit, they apologised to various customers for the delays in serving drinks and food. Overall, this cafe will get business because it is in Bath, has parking, and is attached to an excellent garden centre. It is a pity the cafe is no longer up to the standard expected, based on our previous years of experience.

   We’ve been going to the cafe for years enjoying their excellent simple menu, recently changed leaving us a little disappointed. The quality of the cappuccino seems to have dipped and no baked potato options leaves us looking else where. Just a few minor tweaks will bring us back, and 5 stars for sure. Service is excellent as always!

   I was out early, doing my garden bird food shopping, etc.The garden centre shop was quiet. I tried the Secret Garden Cafe for the 1st time & found this was where all the shoppers were! I had a full English B/F. The staff was friendly. My server was the lovely Maisey. I can't wait for better weather. Then, you can sit outside if you like! J.W.
