A friend and I had a fantastic lunch at The Bush Pantry today. A lovely bushland setting next to Indigiscapes gardens and super friendly staff made for a wonderful afternoon. I had the bacon and beef burger, and I must say it was the biggest and best burger I’ve had in a long time! My friend had the zucchini and corn fritters and said they were perfect. We sat out on the spacious deck and enjoyed our coffees while listening to the kookaburras laughing at us. As we left feeling very full we vowed we would be back again soon!

This cafe has a beautiful atmosphere, we got a table outside which has a nice view, the staff were friendly, and were very accomodating. We ordered the high tea, which due to covid is now served in individual platters. It was well presented and was a nice balance between sweet and savoury, the coffee and drinks were great and were generous servings. It is children friendly, had high-chairs and a play area. Will return and recommend this cafe. We also went for a walk around the gardens afterward. We spent about 4 hours eating and exploring the gardens.

Delightful cafe with cosy indoor seating or outdoor seating overlooking the bushland of Redland Bays Indigiscapes. There is even a kids corner with toys so you can eat and relax while your child plays.Great looking menu was hard to decide but I ended up having a pumpkin and feta tart while my friend had the Ceasar salad..They do high teas also.Plenty of room outside to have large groups.

My wife and I take our friend here most Tuesdays. The shop and outside veranda are delightful. Inside can get noisey when busy. Coffee and food (made on premises) are top quality. The staff are most friendly and courteous. Would recommend.
