On a rainy Sunday morning in Ashbourne we happened upon the Flower Café. Cloaked in condensation on the windows due to the feverish cooking of breakfasts in the kitchen area to the back of the café, 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 Café also sells plants, offers a garden design service and has themed evenings like ‘Pudding Night’ — whose menu looked very tempting!
