Reviews of Palm Tree Cafe

Wanted to visit for a while, nice breakfast for father's day, not as much shopping as I thought there would be. Some very expensive gifts, but lovely for a treat. I think the no right turn at the bridge will be impacting passing trade, which is a shame. Nice water features and garden lighting section, not much garden furniture or plants.

First time visiting here and will definitely visit again. Nice amount of choice inside and plants are nice, lots of garden ornaments in the shop, (stoneware) at reasonable prices. We picked up two plants that apparently should have been priced differently, but one didn't have a price on, so the man serving us honoured the lower price. Very polite and professional. Loved the green man ornaments and the rabbit statues so will be popping back for one of those 😁

I went in on a whim as I was passing. I was in the mood for coffee and a sandwich. I'm so glad I did. The staff that I met were all smiles and welcoming, the food fresh and tasty and the coffee hit the right note too. I then happily browsed the whole shop and garden without being approached by anyone enquiring if I 'needed any help?'. That is a sure fire way of making me leave empty handed. Yet I felt that I could ask if required. I bought myself a little treat and even met another visitor (see pic) I'm definitely going back.

Venturing out post Covid for a coffee and a slice of cake is still so new and a little strange, so it was lovely to go back to De Beers and see the plants and indoor assortment of mini shops, all staff so friendly and best of all wheelchair friendly. Of course the coffee shop was my last port of call and we sat on the veranda enjoying some social time not solitary time

The place was very clean and pretty and the layout of the items on offer was very nice and aesthetically pleasing. The cafe was exceptionally good and nothing was too much trouble for the people working there. I have only taken off one star for the following: I had the English Breakfast and my colleague had the same but ordered a few minutes later. We both were on a short lunch break so we both relayed the information and we were both promised a very fast waiting time. As I ordered a few minutes earlier, I got my food first, the mushrooms were uncooked and the tomatoes (which are teen tomatoes) were cold inside, one piece of bacon was overlooked, dry and hard but not the crispy kind and the other piece was like stone dry and cold and I couldn't eat it. My colleague's plate came out with everything in perfect condition apart from the mushrooms which were also undercooked. So all in all the extremely welcoming and pleasing atmosphere is only compromised by the shortfalls of kitchen.
