Garden Court Cafe Glen Ellen Reviews
We walked across from our room to have a light breakfast and my husband and I shared the breakfast burrito. The portion was perfect but the flavor was amazing! The seasoned potatoes were cooked perfectly!
The Garden Court Cafe is absolutely delightful! Sometimes I find in small towns that the only diner can be sub par.. The garden is not that at all. I got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was juicy and crunchy and seasoned perfectly, the waffles were crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. The iced latte was just as good as my favorite inner city cafe at home.. The staff are so attentive and kind, and everything was priced reasonably.. I will be back :)
Absolutely, fantastic. Fresh made food, family run extremely clean, very impressive food came out fresh n hot. If ur ever n Glen Ellen, this place is must 4 b-fast!!!
Saw on the reviews a picture of their pancakes, they looked like Pearl's from Sonoma that closed down so my daughter and I decided to give it a shot. Service was awesome, every employee was awesome. Food was delicious, The pancakes didn't live up to pearl's that we miss so much and enjoyed but they were good. Egg Benedict we delicious as well. My daughter had the avocado toast and she loved it.
Came here by accident as we put in the wrong garden cafe in the map app.. haha BUT so glad we did. Fresh farm to table feel & taste; excellent latte. I’m vegan so ordered the hash without eggs or cheese and the avocado toast - Yummilicious! My brother had their Italian scramble and loved it. Fresh squeezed orange juice —- sooo good.
A great place to grab breakfast with fun and wonderful service. Everything was wonderful, and he had leftovers which were extremely delicious the next day as well. I really liked the eggs benedict and grits.
Bedsides delicious food from the owner to the cashier this place is a hidden gem. Located in Glen Ellen you can easily drive right past this place. The owner started working here while goi g to school and stayed on and ended up buying the business. She is kind and treats her employees like family. You can eat and watch and that’s probably why the atmosphere is so great. We enjoyed our visit and if you’re in the Sonoma area you should try a visit for breakfast or lunch
Went to the Garden Court for the very first time. Nice! It’s a good place for breakfast. I had the BLAT - Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato sandwich, with salad and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. Delicious! Yet next time I will have the Eggs Benedict. The lavender caffe latte was interesting, I didn’t think lavender and coffee would go well together. Surprisingly they do. Also on my next visit I will try the fresh pineapple mimosa.
We came in for brunch after a hike! The country potatoes were seasoned perfectly. The food was so filling. We had bubbles, an iced coffee, and a mocha and the drinks hit all the spots.
Good old cafe/ diner food. Well prepared, flavourful, with friendly service.
Had the mushroom and swiss eggs Benedict and an iced latte, which were both absolutely delicious! Very pleased with my experience and quality of the food.
Best French Toast I've ever had! Liked it so much I ordered some to go to take home so the family could try it. Don't contemplate whether to try this spot or not. Just go do it! You'll thank me later.
Very good eggs benedict! Love how we got to choose whether we get 1, 2, or 3 eggs. The potatoes that came with the dish were delicious as well.

Great breakfast spot and friendly family owned restaurant. We had amazing service and enjoyed the food. Decent variety on the menu. Definitely recommend!
Everything about the place was fantastic. As busy as the place was, the staff were so attentive and friendly and in a world like today where everyone is in a hurry and rude, it was a pleasure to see and experience.
Awesome little place for brunch or lunch in Glen Ellen. Family run and owned. They make their own bread; rye, wheat, sour dough, along with custom jams, sauces, jelly’s and house made Italian pork or turkey chorizo sausages. The eggs benefit out of this world. Sandwiches delicious, locally brewed coffee, scrumptious green tea Matcha. Next time you’re in town visit this little Gem.

A more modern experience than in times past. Instead of being pleasantly comfortable in an old fashioned sort of way, it was pleasant in a modern sort of way. My BLAT was delicious! They have a decent gift shop to boot.
Food was good. Service was lacking. Nobody came back to check on us after we were served or refill our waters. Cheese was forgotten on my veggie hash. Bread is made fresh in their kitchen and was really tasty. Nice local spot to stop at on the way to winery tours.
The waffle was too dry. It had flavor but too much batter.
Service was great and the place is really nice! I’m only leaving 3 stars because the matcha did give me some sort of allergic reaction. Not sure what is in it but it gave me a decently bad (like 6/10) throat itchiness and irritation. I don’t have any known allergies to milks or matcha so it was really weird to have that sort of thing happen. I have to assume I’m reacting to something else, like maybe a poorly cleaned machine or something 🤷🏻♀️
