The Flower Café

Brilliant spot in Ashbourne, very helpful staff but unfortunately the man serving was a bit chaotic and seemingly didn't have a clue how to run a cafe, the old lady was lovely and couldn't do enough to help and He just got in the way - send him home and leave her to run the place is my advice . Food was lovely though

Lovely experience in a great location in the town. Great quality food at reasonable prices too. Owners/staff were so welcoming and helpful. Very impressed.

Nice traditional little cafe for a quick bite or coffee and cake. Reasonable prices. The lady in charge is very welcoming and likes a chat, very helpful and glad of the business. Just what you want for a quick pop-in snack.

Food was edible, but certainly not nice. Our server seemed pleasant, but a little out of his depth. Drinks order was wrong and I wished we’d gone elsewhere. Not terrible, but won’t be returning.

Experience seems to reflect some of the other reviews written here... I rarely write a bad review but I was particularly disappointed. Service was very slow and they got a couple of things wrong on the order. The jacket potatoe with chilli was raw in some places once I'd began eating it! I asked for it to be changed to cheese instead. Unfortunately the staff didn't seem bothered or overly concerned, even saying that I'd ordered it incorrectly to begin with (they bought me cheese originally incorrectly). Of course I didn't want a replacement chilli one when the one I'd just received was raw. The one member of staff had asked a few customers twice if they'd paid after they'd already ordered and paid with her. This was obviously frustrating to paying customers who had been waiting a long time for their orders. We were very underwhelmed and quite concerned that the staff didn't seem bothered about bad service or undercooked food unfortunately. What a shame!

Lovely traditional full English breakfast , reasonably priced , with GF and veggie options also enjoyed. Very friendly lady ( possibly the owner) serving us .

This place has a really great atmosphere and the workers are very nice, food comes very quickly and the food hygiene is really nice

Advertised gluten free oatcakes on the menu but when we went to order no GF option available - misleading on the menu.

On a rainy Sunday morning in Ashbourne we happened upon the Flower Cafe. Cloaked in condensation on the windows due to the feverish cooking of breakfasts in the kitchen area to the back of the cafe, this place had a good atmosphere. A selection of different sized tables named after flowers - Poppy, Violet etc, were suitable for different sized parties. The menu was varied and very reasonably priced, from beans on toast to paninis, homemade cakes to breakfasts for the larger or smaller appetite. The breakfasts were cooked to order and looked extremely appetising, with a basket of toast. A good variety of drinks too, including a flavoursome Cappuccino and a very chocolatey Hot Chocolate! They also sold Ice Cream too, Lemon Meringue and Sticky Toffee amongst the flavours. The Flower Cafe also sells plants, offers a garden design service and has themed evenings like 'Pudding Night' - whose menu looked very tempting!
