Garden Café Botanica & Shop

Garden Café Botanica
Garden Café Botanica is located in the entrance building of the Botanic Gardens. From the sunny terrace you overlook one of the largest rock gardens in Europe and the historical Fort Hoofddijk. Surrounded by the breathtaking botanical wilderness, Garden Café Botanica is perhaps Utrecht's best-kept secret.
At Garden Café Botanica you can pay by pin or credit card only.
Food and drinks
Enjoy delicious organic sandwiches and fair trade coffee on the sunny terrace or let us surprise you with our soup and salad of the day.

You can also have your lunch packed for a picnic in the Gardens! Reserve a vegetarian picnic bag a day in advance at info@tuincafebotanica.nl.

Unfortunately, reserving a table is not possible but there are beautiful spots for lunch and plenty of picnic tables throughout the Gardens in case the Garden Café is full.
