The Agora & Apothecary at Tanglebank Estate in Abbotsford

Such a lovely location , once the decor is completed it will be gorgeous

The best breakfast and brunch spot in Abbotsford! All dishes are incredibly tasty, and the staff are lovely, kind, and respectful.

Omg . Had the sweet & salty for breakfast! Such a cool twist on eggs Bennie - quite frankly I loved this even more!! The combo didnt make sence until-the firstbite!! Whatever you please leave this on your menu .... it s a keeper!! Sorry no photo was too busy enjoying!

We had an amazing time at the Agora & Apothecary! The whole team made our group event a big success from spooky themed drinks and food to wonderful friendly service!

The atmosphere is fantastic! The welcome is warm, and the food is delicious.

Amazing place. Beautiful and friendly.

Great farm store and awesome food

Great place and delicious food

Great Place with amazing atmosphere. The food was really nice and the staff were welcoming too. They gave us a free Tea. Would love to visit this place again.

My friend and I shared the turkey melt and I had a side kale caesar salad. They split it up and it was lots of food and very yummy.

First visit today. I will most definitely be back over and over. My husband and I shared the blackberry grilled sandwich and peanut noodle salad. Both were delicious but the grilled cheese was INCREDIBLE! The we finished with a piece of white chocolate lemon cheesecake. Yum. The atmosphere is calm and elegant. Thank you for the great experience.

Under new ownership, not very impressed after our first visit.

Met a friend for coffee and tea - beautiful setting! Could sit inside or outside. Outside tables have a nice cover in case of rain or to block the sun. I had the lavender latte coffee which was excellent! (they use lavender syrup). My friend had a London fog - asked for the lavender syrup instead of vanilla - she really enjoyed it too! Great gift shop too! Lots of parking available. Wheelchair accessible.

UPDATE! I WISH I could appreciate their response to my negative review, where they expressed regret and asked me to private message them to resolve the issue. HOWEVER, after reaching out privately, zero reply or action was taken. It seems this is a common tactic to create the impression of genuine concern and a willingness to resolve problems, when in reality, no resolution is actually intended, just the impression to the audience there is. New owners have now twice shown their lack of integrity and character. It s deeply disappointing that the new owners are refusing to honor the gift cards purchased this past Christmas. My children bought these gift cards for their mom to enjoy a special day together, but today we were informed they are no longer valid because the previous owners didn t pass along the funds from previously purchased gift cards. My son and wife used theirs just a few weeks ago, but now my daughter s card is being rejected. This behavior indicates to me that the new owners lack integrity.

It was very inclusive

The food was great. The service was ok. It was so hot inside that we propped open the side door for a breeze and the server kicked it closed. Dietary restrictions: They are able to make most things gluten free

Appears there has been a change of ownership. Been going to the Bistro since the start of Covid and always had a really nice mixed vegetable frittata there. Today, it was just potato and egg. The blackbean soup was way too bland. Very disappointed. Wont be going back again.

I have been a long time customer at tanglebank and formerly brambles bistro. Today my 9 colleagues and I went for breakfast and we were quite disappointed, our favorite meals (mine was always the lavender french toast...so yummy) were not on the menu anymore. The former very friendly servers were not there and we were not greated or even acknowledged by the new owner. Our server was snippish and very unfriendly. When we asked her for jam for 4 toasts she brought us 2 little single serving jams. Very disappointing. We will go back and give them another chance. But at this time Im still disappointed. Did i mention that the bill for all us was over $260 not including the tip.

The food was amazing, i definately recommend the french toast! thr atmosphere was like nothing ive experienced and the service was excellant!! i cant wait to go back!

one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time! Will definitely be back again soon.

The food was average, but it was nice that they had coffee, sold cute items, and had a small garden.

Nice place for kids play, enjoy your food with lots of plants.

Im not sure when it changed from being a full service bistro to an order at the counter canteen, but it really cheapens the experience and was very disappointing. I would compare it to Wendels in Fort Langley, but Wendels is actually set up to be canteen style with the menu visible from the line and the line keeping to the left and dining tables on the right. The pricing at Wendels also reflects that it is not full service with all but one menu item being under $19. At Tanglebank, the menu wasnt visible and menus were at the counter. Unfortunately the line went right through the middle of the dining space so you couldnt get to the counter to look at a menu. Another table was nice enough to give us 1, which we shared between 6 of us. Also, with all those people lined up in the dining space, it made for an unpleasant space to dine, nevermind the prices being quite high ($20+) for the lack of service. We used to have no problem paying the higher price and would arrive expecting to check in with the hostess and told of a 30 min wait, because then wed shop in the gift shop or nursery until a table was available. This time I barely saw anyone actually shopping so it seems theyre hurting that side of their own business by operating in this way. Also, once seated, it used to feel like a truly elegant and special dining experience. And no, the food was never amazing, but the whole experience overall used to be special and still about 5 stars. I was a bit shocked to walk in and find the chaotic scene it is now. I hope they consider going back to full service, because we wont be visiting again while it remains canteen style. Its lost its charm and is not worth the price. We ultimately walked out this time as the tables next to us said to expect at least an hour wait for the food to arrive, and that was once you were able to make it up to the counter to order it... Very disappointing.

This is a must for a great experience. Amazing food and atmosphere. Robert, Chris and their staff are fantastic.

Absolutely bar none the best in town. These guys make the best homecooked food with a flair youll have! Their food sticks to you like mamas dinner used to! You have lunch at 2 you wont be eating dinner till 8pm!!! I love me some meat, but their rancheros are an absolute must have. For a vegetarian meal it will blow you away!

This is a gem in Abbotsford. Beautiful setting, great food, and an amazing owner. Highly recommend! Food

This place is so charming, sitting out on the patio looking at the garden. Very peaceful! The food was delicious!

Had a lovely brunch, food and drinks were delicious

It was really a great experience. Food was plated well, with wonderful flavor.

Lovely atmosphere. The owners are so warm and welcoming! Some unique dishes on the menu to try, so fresh and delicious . Attached to the restaurant is a shop with lovely items for purchase . A definite great choice for brunch or lunch! Parking: Lots of parking! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access

The atmosphere is what really sets apart the experience as special. Its situated in a garden style nursery (in other words, not a typical dingy plant nursery in a box), and the inside is warm and inviting. The kitchen staff is always bang on, and in the rare case that a mistake is made, theyre ready and willing to fix it quickly and efficiently. Laura and Melissa are superb servers with decades of experience, meaning they get ahead of their patrons questions (they see things like low water glasses, more napkins needed, empty plates, etc) and they adapt instantly to changing personalities. The ownership here is onsite and invested in the experience. They will occasionally mingle with shoppers and patrons as well which is a nice thing to see. The whole operation is efficient, warm, tasty and a staple in Abbotsford. A definite must try.

We found the menu options not very satisfying. No options for easy munchies are not a option here. No fries, burgers, chicken strips tacos something to accommodate like that would have been nice.

Get the frozen meals yo go as well, everything here is great!

Amazing food!!! The food was nice and hot.

good food good vibes.

A delightful place to have lunch a bit on the pricey side

healthy food. It tastes good too. Personally, I really enjoyed the chili. Soups, chili, and pies are also sold frozen. In addition, they sell various products (earrings, candles, cushions, etc.) and flowers. There was a beautiful garden, so we naturally took a walk after eating. It would be a good idea to go before the flowers all fade.

Beautiful space and atmosphere, however, Ive eaten here 3 times now and every time my food was cold cold. I would definitely recommend ordering their coffee or a tasty pastry, it is a beautiful Bistro and gift shop -but to pay $31 (with coffee) for a cold Eggs Benedict will not tempt me to return again.

I was disappointed after hearing all of the wonderful reviews on this. We went for a late lunch. My husband had the French onion grilled cheese and I had the chick pea chili. My chilli was lacking in flavour and seasoning. I had to add salt, which I don t often have to do. The smoke flavour was over powered really that s all I could taste. It could ve use some cilantro and a few more vegetables but the portion was very big. I tried my husband sandwich. It was pretty good. Could ve used a few more onions that had been sautéed a little bit longer. The salad that came with it was very nice.

Had a great brunch there. Low-key, lovely place to go for brunch and lunch.

Friendly owners! Good food! Bountiful and lovely plants!

Very expensive food for what you get. Tasted fine but overpriced.

Didnt eat this time smelled so good going back

Delightful spot in the country. great food, calm, wonderful patio amongst the flowers .

I had the best vegetable huevos rancheros ever.

I was not expecting such a nice place at a nursery. Tanglebank Gardens is a great place to have brunch or lunch in a bistro whith a boutique garden centre. I had a French onion grilled cheese with salad, which disappointed me a little, but I m looking forward to trying other food on their menu. Food

Sitting in the bistro outside is very pretty with all the flowers. Unfortunately, or maybe this is the case with all bistros, there are no items on the menu suitable for a veggie lover with allium allergy (onion, garlic, etc). My friends liked their meals and it was great at the sunny tables. Vegetarian options: Not much, try somewhere else.

Beautiful surroundings but 20 dollars for burnt French toast !

Finally had the pleasure of visiting this amazing oasis. The gardens are extremely well kept and delightful to wander! Not a weed in sight. The garden center was amazing with lots of varieties, and the gift shop with a whimsical feel is the perfect place to find a special and meaningful gift for yourself or a loved one who has everything! The bistro is run like a well-oiled machine! Fast, fresh and absolutely delicious. All the staff AND owners we got to interact with were SO kind and friendly and eager to share their knowledge of all items on the property as well as stories and the history. Have a feeling I will be returning quite often

Another lovely lunch meeting with a co-worker. Small but perfect menu. Food is delicious. Do not skip the dessert here or take it with you for later. I always seem to leave with a unique plant/gift for myself or a friends garden. The atmosphere is perfect for being able to hold a conversation and relax.

Was here for the Abbotsford Hospice society butterfly release. Lovely café and charming atmosphere

The lady at the cash register for the Cafe was rude. The food looked and tasted like you were at the ferry . Cafeteria.

Mama and I split the most delicious strawberry /yogurt muffin and cranberry scone and drank some refreshing lemonade and lavender lemonade.

Amazing food and beverages. Great atmosphere to have breakfast or lunch.

food is so delish. Freshly cooked. Highly recommended.

Brambles bistro. Small menu but great at what the do. Stay and eat outside under cover or have a picnic on the grass. Lots of beautiful flowers.

Such a beautiful spot to grab breakfast and coffee. The huevos rancheros is one of my faves!

This place is amazing, big fan. Fantastic atmosphere, food and service. If youre looking for a brunch spot, come here .

Good food and good view

I went with 2 friends and we all had different things. The breakfast skillet was a great portion size and tasty. The handheld pie was on the smaller side but very good. The list dish was very yummy too. We had to wait a while for our food, but definitely worth it. The gardens were nice to walk through too.

What a gorgeous venue for a great meal! We ve been for brunch twice and both times, it was absolutely amazing. The food is fresh and delicious, the service was great and you get a little retail therapy before and after your meal!

Exquisite food. Gorgeous shop. Unique cocktails. Enjoyable garden. Cafeteria style ordering. Food : 5/5

Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning during a long weekend. Its lovely here! Vegetarian options: I ordered the huevos rancheros but you can remove the egg. I did not see any vegan or vegan-friendly options, but I also didnt ask.

Nice place. Delicious food.

Nice out of the way cafe. Good food.

Super cute hidden gem!

Beautiful garden bistro and garden shop on the farmbelt in Abbotsford. Take a walk, have a snack, or shop for plants and gifts. A very nice place to visit.

Absolutely love this place. Great location, beautiful store and garden, and lovely staff. Doesnt get better! Ill be back...

Definitely not worth the hype. Visited for the first time. Aura of the place was sure cute and enjoyable. Menu on the other hand was very limited and food was savorless and unappetizing! Ordered Saras Breakfast and Barbles Yam and Chickpea Salad which were totally bland. Also got Lavender Lemonde, London Fog and Vanilla Latte in drinkas which were just okay! Not visiting again though.

Such a lovely atmosphere, great food and litter fabulous gift shop and boutique nursery....

Delicious and unique menu. The best Carrot Cake I ever had!

Cute concept for a small bistro. The food ranged from mediocre to very good, the farmers flatbread offering a delicious filling meal, and the Thai inspired noodles being quite bland compared to authentic counterparts elsewhere in the city. The space was cute upon entry but with it being off season the plants weren t as full as they could have been. The door to step inside was extremely heavy and inaccessible without a button. The seating was arranged nicely with orders made at the front. The heating was loud right near the front door so if you are coming with someone who needs quite for conversation try to sit further into the building. Overall I wasn t blown away but would suggest the harvest or farmer inspired dishes as those tasted best.

The Huevos Rancheros is the best lunch in town. Such a wonderful combination of flavors. Lovely, principled owners who carefully stock the gift shop and provide friendly service. A place where all are welcome to enjoy good food, thank you!

Awesome beautiful to enjoy plants gift shop restaurant food is good but very very expensive a nice treat though and nice drive

Excellent food

Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff and owners.

Thanks for keeping it real.

Good food and service if a little pricey. We support Oil & Gas Industry sign at the register convinced me to leave without buying anything from the gift shop. I wont support those who are profiting at the expense of others suffering.

I love this secret hideaway restaurant and nursery. I recently bought these two decorative pots (shown below on the table) for my garden and have also enjoyed many delicious meals in this restaurant with owners who respect human rights during a time where there are very few restaurants that do. Thank you so much!

The food is fresh, the service is friendly and fantastic and most importantly they kept it real these past two years. So appreciative of them. It is our favourite brunch spot now. Bonus, you can do some lovely shopping there too when you are done eating.

Breakfast Handpie and French Toast was great. Nice garden/area. Will definitely be back!

Love love this place!!! Cozy garden setting and food is so good and fresh right from the garden. Just wish they were open more hours so I could go more often :)

Always good. Best breakfast in the lower mainland. Their coffee is great.

What a lovely place! I am surprised I had not heard of it sooner. I went for brunch here and everything was so fresh and delicious; the breakfast handpies were particularly delicious. All of the staff were so friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed. Also enjoyed walking in the beautiful garden area and nursery, and took a few plants home with me. Such a great little spot!

I was only here for the Bistro but the gardening stuff looks ok too. As for the food, I ordered the Reuben Sandwich which was actually very good. I would not hesitate going back again. Just be prepared to get up and order your food which I think is worth it. They have a number of beverages including wine and beer. Go enjoy the experience.

Always wanted to come here and eat at the Bistro. It was wonderful, the food was amazing! Nothing super fancy, go up to counter and order your meal, take your number to any available table in ir outdoors! My food came quite quickly, French onion grilled cheese sandwich with simple greens and a lovely citrus dressing! After I had eaten, I walked into the little market they had there. Also took some photos of the grounds. Theres a gravel parking lot.

Food was honestly amazing . Lovely place to sit and have brunch outside. Enjoyed exploring their little nursery afterwards too, but wish there would have been a cpl associates available to help with our questions. 4.5 stars overall :)

Hidden gem, cozy and very welcoming bistro with wonderful garden setting.

Lovely surroundings, beautiful sunny day, good food.

Love that they have good food and told them gubberment to stuff it!!!

Great food and people. Thank u for not discriminating under false science.

Overpriced for what you get. For $19 dollars for a simple wrap or sandwhich with side salad I would expect a lot better. The side salad needs some spiral beets, blueberries and extra veggies, not just mixed greens with a few shredded carrots and two slices of cucumber. Is the dressing even home made? Nothing special. The turkey sandwhich had barely anything inside, and was mainly bun. Super disappointed. Add some more baking options to your show case as well.

One of my favourite lil Abby gems, a peaceful and beautiful location, friendly staff and delicious food. My absolute fav menu item is the Huevos Rancheros its bursting with flavour and never a disappointment. Great place to go for brunch.

A must stop for everything gifts, plants and food. The bistro has a fantastic atmosphere that you simply can t beat.

One of our favorite places to go for brunch! We love to explore the beautiful shop and gardens while we wait for our food. A place where you feel special and greated by people who truly care and remember you the next time you come

Awesome food.

I have been coming here for lunch regularly since they opened but have been disappointed in my visits over the spring and summer although the ambience in their dining area is still lovely, the ladies at the counter seem stressed and rushed and one feels more like a nuisance than a valued guest. On my last visit there weeks ago, I had to pick several rotting pieces of lettuce out of the side salad as I was eating it. And as another reviewer noted, the salad was mostly greens, not very tasty or interesting. The last two occasions I visited, I had to ask to have the table wiped before we ordered food. They have not resumed their pre-pandemic service model of having servers waiting on tables - they follow a fast-food model now where you order at a counter and bus your own dishes afterwards. I have learned to arrive by 11:30 for lunch so as not to have to stand in line to order. If you want water and drinking glasses, ask for them when you get to the counter so that you dont have to stand in line again.

Not recommended. No table service, cafeteria style. $20 for a very poor salad and $4 for a plain coffee. Over-priced gift shop.

Wonderful place and Wonderful people

Excellent place to have brunch! The food was delicious and the portions are large.

Great bistro and fantastic staff. Then grab a plant to bring home

Always a good meal in a great ambience with great staff. Do yourself a favour and get the boozy lavender latte.

Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures. We had the Ruben sandwich and the turkey bacon sandwich. Both came with a green salad. Overall, it was excellent. The lemon tart was excellent and a good option to share.

Our meal was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

Perfect! Dined on the patio, as required. Warm and mostly sunshiney afternoon. I had the breakfast skillet, and it was very good. It looked good and it tasted good. The patio was not crowded, as we arrived at 2:00 in the afternoon. Also found some plants, so a bright spot in a dull week. Thanks,

Just perfect to spend an afternoon in their patio. Nice private garden view and delicious food. Will definitely come back again! :)

Most delicious brunch in Abbotsford!

Has my best lunch of the year here!! Real nice patio and great service!!

Place is not too big but they do have a wide variety of household and garden plants, plus a selection of decorative items and home goods. Some of the boutique soaps and sprays smell really nice! The outdoor gardens and patio are nice and breezy, and allows distanced dining. Their quiche was pretty good! Nice place to spend an hour or two in touch with nature.

Its no longer a lovely place to enjoy dining out. Now you find a table, stand in line, order at the counter off the board above. Just like a fast food joint. No table service. With 2 handicap seniors and no menu (their on line menu was out dated) I had to keep masking up and run inside to read and then go back and forth trying to order for 3. They do deliver to the table but that is all. It spoiled our lunch date. However the food is very good and the setting is so lovely. We didnt bother with coffee or dessert, it was too much of a hassle and its a busy place. Felt rushed to eat and go. Miss the days of a cheerful waitress and good service.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and amazing food

Beautiful oasis & bistro with great food

Delicious food, great atmosphere and great gift shop and garden center.

Great food, great place took my daughter in a mom and daughter date. Food was yummy yoddler approved, staff were helpful and friendly anf the garden and flowers were beautiful eill deffinatly be back

Such a cute hole in the wall spot. I went here with a friend and the atmosphere was so pleasant that we didnt want to leave. Food is a bit on the pricey side but in the context of supporting small businesses I am more than happy to pay a premium. Food was excellent as well!!

Super beautiful gardens and atmosphere...and food. Very healthy colorful plates!

The nursery itself was a little smaller than expected, but the plant selection was beautiful The food from the Bistro was delicious! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nice spot, the dishes we had were very good! Coffee was also flavourful. The lemon poppy seed could have been more lemon-y for me! Blueberry lavender!!?? Yes!, Do! The peanut butter crispy with chocolate was very all of those! And the best for last, the lemon square very well done. Not that far to drive and the setting is just right, well be back!

Hopeless.

Great collection of indoor and outdoor plants. Love their store and cafe. Great service and amazing food.

Great food!! Always a pleasant visit

Its was really good - the atmosphere is very nice.

Incredible spot, gorgeous and elegant! You get what you pay for, and this place is worth the price. The owners have hearts of gold. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Loving the environment and No mandates

Great food! Perfect for brunch.

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff and owner. I love this place! Ive never eaten anything that I didnt love.

Wonderfully tucked away, a secret place to eat amazing food. The dishes are presented with such class and taste even better. The hot drinks are made with love and a smile, and taste delicious. The line of dessert makes your mouth water. They have a little boutique store attached with so many unique finds, beautiful smelling soaps and creams. The services is so incredibly welcoming and kind, I can not wait to return to keep trying more items on the menu board. Thankyou for serving up such a great experience with even better food.

We at air west mechanical always enjoy coming here

My spirit was filled knowing I was traveling from Cornwall Ontario to Vancouver and my first Breakfast/Brunch would be @bramblescafe @tanglebank Tanglebanks eclectic charm feeds all of your senses. Staff care for you like family. Comforting...my Tagine was pleasing and flavourful, with the right amount of spice and warmth to bring happiness to a jetlagged body. I highly recommend a visit, you wont be disappointed

I love Tanglebank Garden. Get in before the lunch rush! Great place to enjoy some amazing food and the service is terrific.

Little pricey for my taste as food was OK but not jump out and flavour me good. The food tastes like a few of these places like the Horizons Restaurant or The place in Queens Park in Vancouver and at the 4/5 star price point we come to expect but truth is it is the same amount and taste as the stuff at the Pantry and Browns Social House for 3$ less. Coffee tastes like Van Houtte coffee.

Fabulous place well set up for covid.food is awesome & a very nice relaxing atmosphere in the nursery. Highly recommended for ANYONE.

Ive supported Brambles for many years but wont be back until they ensure their staff wear masks, they have a barrier at the cash desks + their tables are properly distanced. I was very disappointed.

Beautiful gardens can be enjoyed while eating a fresh healthy meal out on the patio. The location is off the beaten path but worth the drive. After eating you can shop for perennials and other boutique shop items.

Its such a beautiful place.

The ladies in my family have been here many times. Unfortunately if the quality and amount of food doesnt pick back up, I wont be going back. We went today for my moms birthday. I ordered a turkey bacon sandwich as did my mom. All you could taste was bread. There was next to no filling in it. We both left most of the bun as thats mostly all it was. Their idea of a side salad was lettuce out of a clam shell pack with maybe 5 slivers of carrot and a teaspoon of dressing,neither one of us ate that. That cost $18.50 each. Three other ladies at our table ordered a skillet that consisted of maybe 10 pieces of potato, a few pieces of sausage, a few pieces of veges and maybe a tablespoon of hollandaise sauce. The amount of food barely covered the bottom of the small skillet it came in, for a cost of $19.95. Very disappointed. The staff as usual are friendly as usual though, it just wasnt anywhere near the quality we were expecting

Not much to say. Bad. Over charging for simple stuff. No mask - are they making a statement?

Brambles was great this morning. The place is gorgeous, amazing gardens that just require so much care and attention. The coffee is delicious and the food was fantastic. Prices are high, 16-19 bucks for most breakfasts, but as an occasional outing or somewhere to take friends from out of town, highly recommended. A present day reality addition, they have done a great job of spacing tables to keep you away from others allowing for social distancing.

Beautiful garden Plants for sale. Bistro was nice Almost had the huevo rancheros but settled for lemon tart. Next time. Not cheap to eat Most prices were 16-20 dollar range. They are licensed

Okay food, overpriced nusery

A fantastic experience. Excellent coffee (Oh yea, their coffee is excellent) in a beautiful garden setting. **Dont forget to try the huevos rancheros.

I would give it a zero if I could..the food was horrible...service also ...never ever go back .. hope you dont either...

Absolutely beautiful spot for brunch or lunch. They have a cute flower and garden shop with soaps and house goods. I would recommend the huevos rancheros and mimosas. The French toast here is really good too and the portions are generous. You can sit inside or on the patio and there is a small free parking lot with around 15 spots. Their bathrooms are gorgeous and super clean.

The food was very tasty, and the surroundings were peaceful. A bit pricey.

Food is on point every time! Service is always exceptional, and even moreso today!!

Now an order at the counter, fewer tables but just as delicious and welcoming type bistro. Glad they are still open and the nursery and store are still filled with unique and quality wares.

First time here, the food was delicious. They had a creamed vegetable soup and we ordered a Reuben sandwhich, grill cheese and short rib egg skillet. Great little gift shop as well if you are looking for a unique gift idea.

Whimsical restaurant in a garden centre, this small venue has delicious food that is anything but whimsical. Food choices are varied and delicious. Individually home cooked you have to wait a reasonable time, reminding you it is not fast food. There is lots of parking but the place can be busy for lunch. Nice surroundings and an engaging staff makes for a real dining experience.

Nice ambiance, service very slow but how does 2 coffees, and two sandwiches cost $50.00?

Six of us visited Brambles Bistro yesterday for lunch. We were not disappointed - from the turkey pot pie & salad, chicken wrap & salad, reuben sandwich & soup, the chickpea chili and the french onion grilled cheese sandwich & roasted yam soup. All meals outstanding, served hot and only 20 minutes after we ordered. Our server Laura was professional, friendly & answered our questions re the menu. Overall a fabulous experience at a hidden treadure in Abbotsford. The nursery had lots of flowers in bloom and the gift shop had lots of unique and interesting items. We will ALL definitely return. Thank you to the owners & staff for making our day very memorable.

Kinda different... its a bistro in a nursery... like a plant nursery, kind of? Small menu and the food is ok. The service was awesome though. What a different kind of place!

Discovered this little gem in Abbotsford. The garden center is not huge, but lots of space to wander around their beautifully landscaped gardens. Have lunch at Brambles. Coconut chicken brioche sandwich was so moist and flavorful. Even their berry ice tea was perfection. Give yourself a treat and try this place.

Ive been here several times, have had some really tasty food, however today was veerryyyy long service wise. I was not impressed with the wait time to be seated but especially the wait time for the food when it was an order for only 2 people. Wasnt a great first impression for taking my mom out for a Mothers Day brunch, so if youre not willing to wait awhile its not the place for you

The most beautiful restaurant with blooming flowers!

Always an enjoyable experience. Fresh, delicious food in a beautiful setting. This is a must-see when visiting Abbotsford!

Really enjoyed our meal out on the patio amongst the plants. Everyone was so friendly and we felt most welcome. Thank you for making Mommy/Daughter day extra special ;-)

Had lunch here today. It was fantastic. Ambience was amazing, food was creative and delicious. I wish there were more places like this to enjoy a meal in the lower mainland. We will be back and recommend to friends/family.

Love the food and the environment of this lovely place.

Excellent patio and great food.

We went there for my girlfriends birthday. My daughter is a picky eater And I didn t see anything on the menu she would eat. So I asked the waitress if they could make her a chicken or turkey sandwich (both of which meats were offered in different menu options) I was told no that no substitutions could be made and that they only had just enough chicken or turkey for so many portions of each item per day. I wasn t asking for it for free and would have paid for it happily. My suggestion is don t bring your kids here as they are clearly not open to helping families enjoy their dining experience.

A fantastic experience. Excellent food in a beautiful garden setting. PS try the huevos rancheros . Oh ya, their coffee is excellent.

A great brunch/lunch option in Abbotsford. Worth driving out here for limited menu, but they focus on seasonal features and everything on it I ve tried has been a delight. The naan wraps in particular are extremely well done (chicken, tahini sauce, pickled red onion and cucumber with mango slices) see pic below. Sitting out in their garden/greenhouse is beautiful on a nice day, so the ambience + food makes this place a huge win.

Came here with my wife and we sat outside. It was a highly pleasant experience eating lunch surrounded by pretty flowers. I ordered the Reuben and my wife had the butter chicken naan wrap. We were blown away by how delicious our food was! Highly recommended!

I would give this bistro 5 star for ambience. But only 2 star for food quality. The French toast came out cold, the crust around the bread was hard, no lavender flavour whatsoever. The water glasses were old and worn and smelt of egg residue.

Good ambience, delicious food, prompt service. I tried their Currey chicken lettuce wraps out of curiosity and the preparation was actually very good.

Great atmosphere. I had the Sweet and Salty breakfast and it was wonderfully unique. Abbotsford has always been a dead end for culture and cuisine so it was very special to find a place like this in the valley. Everything was hot and served in a timely manner. The city could use more places like this. Well done.

Brambles Bistro is a nice place to catch up with friends. The menu is small but everything on it is thoughtfully prepared. The venue is beautiful. My only issue is that staff dont greet patrons in a welcoming way. Its an insignificant detail for some, but I find I revisit places that greet everyone warmly.

Beautiful surroundings and an amazing brunch. Will be back!

Great food and service.
