Charming garden cafe with solid breakfast and lunch, counter ordering, and scenic outdoor seating; food is good, prices island-high, and waits can occur at peak times.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Among the Flowers Cafe delivers solid breakfast fare in a genuinely charming flower-filled setting that justifies its loyal following. Strong food quality anchored by standout dishes like house corned beef hash and waffles competes well with neighborhood cafes, but inconsistent execution on certain items and service gaps during peak ferry times prevent a higher grade. The cafe excels as a reliable island breakfast stop rather than a destination worth planning around.
Restaurant Summary
A leafy patio tucked off Main Street sets the scene for a relaxed breakfast in bloom, with garden seating among flowers and a steady morning buzz. Reviews highlight warm interactions at the counter and simple comforts; one diner shared, "the house corned beef hash with eggs was the best bite of our trip." Expect a casual, counter-led flow and crowds when ferries are in play. The cooking leans classic cafe fare with well-loved breakfast staples over trend chasing. Quiche with fruit, crisp waffles, and that house corned beef hash get consistent praise, while a few bowls and yogurt options draw mixed value notes. It suits diners seeking straightforward, fresh plates in a charming setting rather than culinary theatrics. Families do well here: waffles, grilled cheese, hot dogs, eggs, fruit bowls, and simple omelettes are easy wins. Outdoor seating and a relaxed vibe help, though small tables can challenge big groups. Prices reflect the island, so plan accordingly for a family breakfast.
