The Secret Garden Cafe

Great food and coffee

A lovely little cafe with a great menu. Tucked away down an alley between 2 shops, in a back garden, hence the name. Sadly, for me the only thing that let it down was that some items in my breakfast were cold. The poached eggs, the bacon, the toast. Now I appreciate that you need to cook things in advance, so perhaps a better system for keeping things hot is needed. Surely poached eggs and toast can be cooked to order. Fix that and it's 5 stars from me next time.

After doing the "Well Being" walk, set up by Charnwood Borough Council, we visit the Secret Garden Cafe. It's a small family business that has a good range of hot and cold food and drink at reasonable prices. There is a small patio area outside the restaurant with benches, tables, and parasols. In a grassed area, more seating and tables are available. There is even a marquee for when the weather changes. Why don't you give them a visit?

Always enjoy a visit to The Secret Garden Cafe, the name is certainly ideal, this hidden gem has such a wonderful atmosphere particularly during the festive season. Service is always efficient and the food and drink is top notch, I particularly like the Lotus biscuits which come with the coffee, such a great touch and the perfect accompaninent too. The owner Katie is lovely and someone who I am proud and indeed privleged to call a friend. Wishing all the best for this fabulous business and I can't wait to visit again soon! Dan Foster :-) xx

Ordered coffee and food for two. Took over 40 minutes to serve coffee with people arriving after us being served first. We didn't complain but they realised the error and reduced the bill by the cost of a coffee. Am absolutely fine with that but did they really need to withhold the loyalty token for the coffee? I am meeting a good friend on 30th November for breakfast and have planned to eat here but we will now go elsewhere. I hope the withheld token is worth it.

Had lunch here today and had a prawn salad (On the sandwich menu, says you can swop as a salad). Really good and priced well. Will definitely return.

Great breakfast just ashame about the bread. Vry cheap stuff. Some nice crusty bread would have scored it a 10 out of 10.

Happy friendly cafe. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Love it.
