Lovely lunch. It is nice to have an option for delicious food right in the garden. Attentive service and great atmosphere.

This place is gorgeous! The food was good, although what I got was fairly basic so nothing to be surprised by. Its a fabulous stop if you’re doing the botanical garden, and the service was lovely.

I enjoyed a really delicious brunch at Yellow Magnolia Cafe. Ordered the elote flatbread from the thoughtful menu with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Service was attentive and setting is just lovely. Wish they opened for dinner. It's a true hidden gem.

Spectacular setting! Appreciate the vegan options available on the menu, like a fruit cup, veggies/hummus, and pretzel. Btw, the Canteen is not cheap!

Went for a work lunch and had an amazing time. The food was surprisingly very good for an institutional venue. The chicken sandwich, fries, salads, and pastas were all delicious. The floral themed menu was also charming without being over the top. Great wine selection too.
Besides the food, the service was very pleasant, detailed, and patient. Kudos to our servers for doing an excellent job. It was the best meal of our trip.

What a lovely experience! The menu items were fresh and delicious. We ordered the mushroom pie with époisses and tomato soup (both vegetarian-friendly) and the chocolate budino tart for dessert. The wait staff was attentive. Would recommend this as a fancier option after a stroll through the garden instead of the more casual canteen or coffee bar on premises. NOTE: Be sure to make a reservation as this place fills up quickly.

Very friendly and professional staff. The food was delicious, the drinks mixed well, and their gelato the tastiest and creaminess I've tried all over NYC. We will be coming back to try the rest of their dishes. It's a hidden gem!

Very nice cafe inside Brooklyn Botanical Garden. You have to pay admission into the garden in order to go to the restaurant. Not sure how I feel about that. There should be speculation that if you spend over $80 your entrance into the garden is waived. There are numerous ways to do this. The cafe itself is not very big, but it is well kept, clean, and has an upscale feel. Prices are relatively reasonable. Food is pretty good.

Needed a bite of breakfast before exploring the gardens and this meal (& my cocktail) was soooo good. Yes, it’s expensive but good service and a nice view of the lily pads! 🌸

There’s a whole new revamped menu at Yellow Magnolia Cafe - and it was all delicious. Lots of veg friendly options! The chickpea pancake with a healthy mound of sautéed, pickled, and fresh vegetables was hearty and fulfilling. The mushroom pie with luscious schmear of epoisse cheese could be a starter or light entree. Really nice option for visits to the Garden.
