Gardenias Bistro in Islamorada, Village of Islands - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such a beautiful outdoor venue with lots of greenery. Great food and they even have some chickens and rabbits to see!

Really good food, and views. Very kind and friendly service. An excellent place to see nature, and have a peaceful time.

Just hit up the new healthy food spot inside the garden shop on the island. The vibe is great – surrounded by greenery while you chow down on some seriously tasty, fresh eats. The menu is full of hearty options. The avocado toast was top-notch. The staff know their stuff and the whole setting is laid-back and cool. Definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for good, healthy food.

This is a must see the gardens are beautiful. It smells good it’s all organic and they have local chickens that will clean up after you.Lol🐓

Food is fresh and amazing, coffee is the best in the keys, and it is located in a magical oasis with the sweetest staff and chickens!!! How can you beat that!?

Beautiful Place, it feels so peaceful!! The food was ok.

Stumbled on this little gem and wow! Will be back; wraps and avo toast were delicious! Amazing atmosphere and staff as well ✨

Lovely place, great food and service. True key Largo experience!

Wow this place was amazing! Everyone who worked here was so nice and welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. The food was also great and super fresh, if we were staying closer we would’ve ate here everyday. The prices of everything were very fair and definitely worth it for what you got. I would definitely come here again!!

Love the chicken salad! Coffee outstanding! Beautiful gardens!

We noticed the spot on the drive down to marathon, and made it a point to stop in on our visit to Islamorada… sure glad we did. What a fab spot! And not just a pretty face - the food and smoothies were top notch. A bit pricey but worth it! The atmosphere is adorable, staff/owners incredibly friendly, and just an overall interesting Eco experience. We were so impressed with everything! From the upcycled furniture / lighting to the bamboo takeaway straws, this family run business didn’t miss a thing! We arrived around 15 to 20 minutes before closing and yet the staff were still super accommodating letting us order and enjoy our club sandwich (with feta 🤤) and anti aging smoothie. Stop by before they close for summer. We hear they have plans to create a lounge type environment too. A MUST visit on any trip to the keys!

Gardenias Bistro is a great breakfast/lunch spot in a relaxing botanical atmosphere. The food is great, complemented by perfectly brewed coffee and we even tried a refreshing lemonade. Service was quick and friendly!

Nice place, sweetly decorated. Cake is good, café not so much.

Great atmosphere and amazing food 🥰

Fantastic quality of food in a beautiful setting

This place is so peaceful and cranks out the sweetest breakfasts! And on top of that, everything on their menu for meals to drinks are all healthy options. Their meals are served on the cutest plates and the ambience. Here is amazing. It is so sweet to sit amongst all of the Flowers from the nearby nursery!

Such a cute place! Plants, gifts, coffees & food! Best BLT ever - a must try!

This place was great and the food was even better. Great place that is busy for dinner with lots of locals and visitors. Not a lot of seating inside, but if you do get a table enjoy it!

A beautiful hidden gem! The food was delicious and the service was great. Definitely give this place a stop for some delicious food!

Lovely place. Pleasant people. Perfect tasty food. Good coffee.

Felt like a short visit in a deli paradise - excellent natural food, no plastic trash, fine coffee... Sitting in a fresh breeze garden. I'd love to have that daily - happy to have discovered it serependitiously :) thank you for the great time!

My new favorite spot in the keys! I had the best smoothie called anti-aging and a dreamy mushroom latte!! The people were so sweet and the garden area is so lovely!!!

Wonderful spot for a relax and some breakfast goods among the flora and fauna. Food is on the healthier side which goes with their vibe. Order at the window and a server will find you at your table. The smoothies are great and be sure to find their chunky chickens wandering about.

(not) Every one getting to key West should have a stop here to get coffee and/or sth to eat! Very nice staff, lovely ambient. Definitely worth a visit!

Really great café in the middle of a flower paradise. You sit directly in the beautiful nursery and can then stroll around. The owners are very nice and the food is very tasty. Had the pancakes, avocado toast with coffee and shake and were super satisfied. Be sure to stop.

Such a cute place, feels like a secret garden! The owner was amazing!

Delicious breakfast. Croissants were so flaky. Great setting. Highly recommend.

Great place, good food and super nice staff

Love this place. So cozy, not like the other tacky places along the keys.

This place is 10/10!! Super cozy with great staff🤩 The food was lovely as well!

Great food. Friendly staff. I could spend hours here. The bistro is situated in a beautiful nursery chickens roam the property. Best coffee in town !!

Adorable secret garden scene. Roaming chickens. All the plants. Friendly staff. Eye on details. Loved that they use floral cloth napkins. Food is simple, clean ingredients put together well. I had the BLT and added avocado. Would recommend!

Great place! Would go again. Lovely staff, very good food - high quality. Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend!

3 times this week, frequent flier. You can't beat the atmosphere and trendy menu choices. Food is outstanding. We love the friendly chicken, and the cappuccinos are THE BEST

This place was incredible! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect—like a tropical private lush garden. They also gave us amazing tips on things to do in the area for the day. Wish I could eat here every day!

What a beautiful place! 🤩 It’s my new “place to stop for a coffee” on my way in and out of Key West. Since you walk in you feel the peace, plants and flowers for sale that have been beautifully displayed around. They have a small gift shop (I wanted everything!), and also an outdoor cafe with delicious food and coffee. Service is 5 stars, the lady who took care of me was very kind.

i’m from north dakota and ate here while we visited the keys. i still think about this place and need to go back 🤍 loved everything about it

Great place for coffee lattes with alternate milk options and some breakfast bites. In a garden like nursery setting with seats around the nursery with chickens, bunnies and cats roaming around. Their chai latte with cardamom was delicious as well as their avocado toast. Not many savory options available and keto options would have been great. They also had a tiny farmers market there with couple of vendors.

I get their breaky sandwich a lot with chicken. It is one of the best sandwiches I have had. They have great coffee, teas & mimosas. It is also a really cool place to walk around to enjoy plants & flowers. There’s a cat & chickens running around. Plus a couple of bunnies in the back. I love it here!

A great place on the keys to stop & enjoy the Florida weather. The best coffee hands down & amazing food. I just moved down here a few months ago & this has been my go to breakfast spot.

Ist is amazing. I highly recommend a break there.

Great place to walk arround. Beautiful gardens.

Overpriced! Nice place but unfortunately totally overpriced. We paid more than 30 $ per person for some toast, oatmeal and drinks. There’s a reason why prices are not written on the menu board…

Everything was amazing! Food was delicious and the atmosphere is so beautiful.

I stopped here on my way home and it was amazing! Such an oasis with all the plants and yummy food. I was happy to hear that they are a Surfrider Ocean Friendly Restaurant too and don’t use any single-use plastic.

A perfect spot for a quick bite ❤️ chickens, bunnies; and a sneaky little cat roamed the gardens. My BLT was AMAZING and the service was above and beyond. They were so kind and sweet that I could just move right in! lol even on a cloudy day, it felt like home. I highly recommend to stop for food and to walk the paths.

Best bistro on The Keys! Friendly staff, cute atmosphere, eco friendly and the BEST coffee and food!

Took a break for lunch. Great option of wraps even veggie wraps best . The quality of ingredients were fresh , all made to order . Nice ambiance. Tex chicken wraps was great too. Cocktail was great.

Absolute rip off. Do not go unless you want to spend $50 on 4$ worth of food.

Omg! The most beautiful place on earth!!!!

Culinary treat for healthy meal options, pricier than area stops, but quality ingredients. Lush, relaxing setting, blends with a beautiful variety stocked meandering garden center. Shady and open table options. Allows behaved leashed dog. Hens about.

Great spot for food. Friendly staff and relaxing surroundings.

Very nice bistro and beautiful garden area to enjoy the meal.

While traveling through the keys recently, I wanted some breakfast and found this really cute outdoor bistro. I came when they first opened early in the morning, and I walked around the plants for sale and inside the small shops. This place is really cute, you could also find some really good trinkets and gifts here. I had a sweet potato wrap to go and an espresso shot with milk, very good overall! Cute place, I would highly recommend

Wow!!! if I could give this 10 stars I would! The atmosphere is like being in a fairy tale. The food was PHENOMENAL!!!! And the service was just right! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HIDDEN GEM!

The hens were akin to my cats and I loved them. The food portion was large and healthily hearty, and we enjoyed it immensely. Garden lizards chilling on the cushions and makeshift benches were a cool plus.

We were looking forward to have a breakfast on our way to Miami here. If you are not open you should change your hours and work days on Maps/Google Maps/website so people would know that. Cause it says it’s open as if right now but it’s not. Disappointing.

Delicious homemade shakes on a hot day!

Ok place was small somewhat friendly dly very nice area

The blackberry mimosa and gluten free chicken salad sandwich were incredible! Gardenia’s bistro is inside the beautiful dog friendly Island Home Garden center. There are two super friendly free roaming chickens and bunnies to visit. The menu is vegan and gluten free friendly and the owner, staff are so accommodating! There are many dairy free latte combinations and homemade pastries available all day as well. I highly recommend checking it out! Open everyday 7:30a-3p.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gardenia’s Bistro in islamorada and it was an absolutely delightful experience. My wife surprised me with the most dreamy dinner date of my life. From the moment we walked over to our outside table, I was captivated by the music, lighting and the secret garden vibe. The romantic and cozy ambiance was like something out of a dream. The warm and intimate setting set the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The service was truly top-notch. Our server, Hanna was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The owner, Megan went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. Their genuine warmth and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. We started the meal off with a truly scrumptious cheeseboard and of course, amazing wine. The combination of tastes and presentation was simply outstanding. For the main course, we had filet mignon, roasted chicken with fresh veggies, the meal was simply delicious with a delicate balance of flavors. Since we had such an amazing light meal , we saved plenty of room for a luxurious lemon dessert that was incredible. I cannot recommend the Gardenia’s Bistro highly enough. When you want an intimate evening that you’ll never forget.

It's such a nice place! Stopped here w 2 adults and a 4 year old and a 2 year old. It's great for kids who can't sit still because they can walk around the nursery, look for the cats, and pet the chickens. They even gave us little cups of blueberries to feed the chickens. They have a checkers board and large jenga blocks for fun. The food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

It is a restaurant with a spacious and spacious garden. The best restaurant in terms of comfort

The location alone was an easy spot with ample parking. The plants are so immensely beautiful and you can smell the aroma of them. The food was great and wasn’t an overwhelming menu and was surprised about the butterfly pea latte as I never see it around the Miami area so a big green flag! The food taste so fresh and healthy I never felt guilty splurging. I had the Buddha salad and it was so filling. The chickens roaming around were really cute. One of them pecked my toe but it’s okay because I love them and they’re really adorable. 10/10 experience

Perfect ! I highly recommend this little restaurant where the people are extremely friendly. Organic food is perfect

Absolutely the best find on our vacation! Went two mornings in a row! Food looks great and tastes the same. Very fresh ingredients so worth the $. Hens are cute to feed blueberries 🫐. Atmosphere is so relaxing and beautiful due to the nursery greenery. This is our favorite breakfast/lunch spot now!!!

My wife & I were there a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning. The best tropical garden center in the KEYS has one of the best bistros. Who knew? It is a little slice of quiet paradise off the ROAD. Lots of plants etc, even one of those swamp cooler things, to keep you cool. Clean air conditioned restroom....BONUS!! We had the Breaky Bowl and Buddha Bowl and coffees. Everything was the freshest it could possibly be... no pre-made stuff here!! The owner, head chef I think, was there and she is glad to have you!! This place is awesome and we are going back!!

Local- I come here a lot with my husband and kids, today was by far the worst service we had received, I ordered the Nutella toast for my kids, 12.99 per toast, it has NEVER been this expensive for us, our bill was $38.03. My coffee was Luke warm and took over 15 mins. I feel I was over charged today more than normal and staff was slow.

This is a really great find in key largo! Great food and drinks with a lovely atmosphere. Service was friendly and prompt as well. We had breakfast here and would definitely go back!

You won't know this place is there unless you know this place is there. Grab a smoothie or cup of coffee and enjoy the buildings and grounds to explore.

No time to eat today. The menu was fantastic. Next time I will order the advacardo dish, Walk and enjoy the varietyof plants trees, succulents.

This is the most bizarre coffee shop I’ve been to. Four people behind the counter, two other customers, and it took almost 25 minutes for our simple coffee orders and pastries to come out. What is everyone doing back there?! We were on a time crunch and had to leave so two of our items just never came out. The barista seemed annoyed that I didn’t want any flavor in my coffee. I ordered an ice coffee and they gave me a hot coffee. It doesn’t seem like they’ve ironed out their operations. That being said this is in one of the most gorgeous garden centers and the atmosphere is beautiful. Go if you’re cool hanging out with beautiful plants for two hours.

Food is good. Nice atmosphere of a plant nursery and chickens roaming around. Check it out.

Lattes are amazing (get the Mylk with cinnamon), croissants with specialty butter are delicious (our specialty butter was honey lavender), the various breakfast sandwiches and wraps are so good and healthy. The atmosphere of the bistro is adorable since it’s in a nursery. It feels so tropical! The staff were so sweet and knew us by the end of the week. There’s also a cutie nursery cat that loves scratches :) highly recommend stopping at least once!

This is such a little gem of a spot! I happened to stop by on my way through and was pleasantly greeted by chickens, plants, and healthy yummy food! The staff was super kind and helpful when I wasn’t sure what to order. Food was good quality and all the packaging was good for the environment. Overall, a wonderful experience!

I visited the nursery and not the bristo. The nursery is awesome, with beautiful plants very well placed with walkways.

Great atmosphere, food was overpriced for what you get. $15 for an oatmeal “bowl” and the oatmeal was 100% raw. They were out of most of the fruit and forgot the peanut butter power. I should have sent it back but it took 20 mins to get our food with no wait and didn’t want to wait for different food. Disappointing. Husbands chicken curry croissant was a very tiny sandwich with a ring but of fruit. Gave 3 stars because of atmosphere, struggled to give that high.

2nd visit in 2 days. Super cute, wonderful food, wonderful people, and I wish we had one where I live!

I give 5 stars because I can't give 6!... Discovered by chance, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. In a true oasis we enjoyed green dishes... the desserts are amazing. The staff were polite and discreet.

Excellent spot for small, tasty and healthy meals in an extremely pleasant setting full of flowers and light shade

This has by far been our favorite find. The food is out of this world, fresh and creative. The atmosphere is next to none. Will be coming back several more times.

Gorgeous gardens, lovely staff, delicious quiche, coffee, smoothies, and bakery items. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Delicious matcha lattes and great vibes with the free roam chickens! Can’t wait to come back.

Amazing food! My family and I stopped by to get some breakfast and were just completely amazed by the quality and taste of the food. Definitely try the breaky sandwich, it’s so good!!!!

I love everything about this place. Its such a cute and clean spot, it has beautiful garden and great selection of plants and flowers. The bistro has many vegan options and is 100% sustainable. I even stop in just to stroll through the gardens at times.

Breakfast with butterflies 🦋 many green bushes around you 🥰 Classical music 🍍🥘 The food 🍱 very good 🥰 Everything spectacular! Recommended 💯

Was there for a charity Bingo with Pawsitive Beginnings, enjoyed everything about this location.

I love this bistro!! Very nice outdoor seating surrounded by the flowers of the nursery. Wifi available if you want a shady, outdoor spot to study!

This place is a little hidden wonderland and it's so beautiful if you want to be amongst the trees greenery flowers and butterflies. And don't forget the fluffy chickens! The food is very health conscious and clean. Great spot

Beautiful presentation and location. Empanadas weren’t fresh and I asked the server to change it for something else and I got charged twice when I only had one snack. Otherwise we had great coffee and lemonade there. Shame about the customer service.

There is no reason for this not to have a 5 stars rating, wonderful atmosphere amazing food attention to detail, and not just on your food but also the personal attention to you the customer from the sweetheart of the owner and her daughter, be one the lookout for the new thing to come from the new chef and the great tapas that he's bringing.

My favorite place on earth 😍 Megan is the best ❤️ I can’t wait to go back

Terrific, tropical atmosphere at a landscaping business. A good place for lite "chick" food.

Loved this little cafe! The latte was great and I had a very fresh and delicious granola/yogurt and fruit bowl. And of course the atmosphere can’t be beat! One of my favorites!

Yum!! Everything tasted so fresh and clean. What a great setting too.

A timeless place with an incredible setting: flowers, orchids, plants, decorative accessories...and we had a blast!

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! This is literally one of my favorite places on planet earth! Sandy and Megan are the best. Amazing food, incredible atmosphere

Very good food and atmosphere, but it comes at a price that reflects that.

Sandy is a wonderful lady she is so accommodating and friendly the drinks are delicious and it's a very nice place to set and relax if you are going through stop and enjoy the moment.

Wonderful atmosphere and product. Very kind and welcoming staff. Be sure to ask for a shot of espresso in a latte if you get one cause otherwise they’re all caffeine free! Cannot wait to come back
