I went there a couple of times (breakfast and dinner). They have a very nice menu with a little bit of everything.
The location is amazing, they have a well stocked souvenir, an amazing garden.
Service was slightly slow both times we went, it was pretty crowded (it wasn't an unreasonable amount of time) I mean, it was not a deal breaker - just to keep it in mind that's a popular place and you may have to wait a bit :)
Definitely a place that I would go back to!

Excellent find in Granada my favorite meal here. Their prices are on the high end especially for Nicaragua. But the food is fresh and delicious and friendly service.

The Garden Cafe was our favorite place in Granada. We went there 4 times, twice for coffee drinks and twice for meals. Sometimes it is very crowded, but we only waited a few minutes to get a table. There are rooms for dining and a big lounge area for coffee <see pictures>. Everything we had was good. Pork ribs, fish tacos, tuna bowl, and summer bowl. Smoothies and sangria were also very good, and the prices were reasonable, not expensive. You won't regret going here.

It’s a nice place to sit but the food is very overrated. The breakfast burrito is just eggs, beans, rice and cheese. Little to no seasoning and very bland, at least there was some hot sauce on the table. The coffee was ok I had better in multiple places in Granada. Prices above average service good.

Well it's no wonder this place is so popular, the food is incredible, and the ambiance is on point too. If you are coming through Granada you should definitely plan a meal (or two) at The Garden Cafe.
We had the Mediterranean Bowl and the Mango Bowl, and both were superb. Fresh, delicious, and heart (not to mention gluten free). But if you have celiac disease, like me, make sure to request no pita. My partner didn't specify and hers came with pita bread, which the menu hadn't indicated. She's not allergic, so it wasn't a big deal, but could catch someone off guard.
Anyway, five stars. Great food. Highly recommend.

Mediterranean Bowl
What a great brunch spot!
The atmosphere is great here and the food was even better!
I had the Nica bowl and oh my gosh, I scarfed it down lol.
The iced coffees were not the greatest here but I think it does depend on which one you get and what milk you use. Besides that, really great place to visit and eat at!

This is, without exaggeration, the worst restaurant experience I've had in Nicaragua and possibly one of the worst in Central America.
I have to assume that the majority of the reviews for this place are purchased by bots/review services. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why it is so highly rated.
I'm only awarding it two stars, and not one, because it had some pretty good smoothies.
In terms of value, this was the most expensive meal my partner and I purchased in our 8 days in-country. The green vegetable curry was so devoid of flavor and seasoning that I added an unacceptable amount of salt, pepper, and hot sauce to it only to make it taste like... something! Anything!
I'm so grateful that we had this meal our first night and literally every dining experience after this was an improvement in taste, value, and plating.
If you want bland, overpriced food and a quiet atmosphere, this place is for you.

Beyond amazing. The food, the fresh ingredients, the presentation, the decor, and the customer service beats any restaurant worldwide. Great restaurant. We ate lunch and breakfast and it was impeccable. The coffee and the smoothies are amazing as well.

Burrito
Some good vegetarian options, the salad bowls are great! If you’re vegan you’d probably need to modify. Wife had the burrito which she says was delicious. Iced latte was cool and tasty and great caffeine hit to get us moving again.
