The Secret Garden Café

We absolutely love the place for many reasons: 1. The staff is very friendly, 2. The atmosphere is super cozy and comfortable and 3. (Which is equal to #1) is the food is amazing. We came here for lunch and ordered I ordered the Bistro Burger on a gluten free bun and a hot matcha tea with agave. Was the best burger and tea ever. The food was so good that we came back for breakfast the next day. I had the Garden Scramble with tofu. I don't even love tofu but thought I would try it. Hands down the best breakfast I've had. Love that the majority of the menu is gluten free and I can't wait to come back. This place is a must visit if you're in Sedona!!

Just had dinner here 28/5/23, served by Justin, and what an incredible afternoon! Amazing food, delicious wine and such a relaxed atmosphere. Kudos to the chefs, bartenders and host. Will recommend to everyone.

Fantastic service and a great meal. Was torn between the tip sandwich and the burger. Mike recommended the tip sandwich. NOT DISAPPOINTED at all. I opted for the gorgonzola slaw, but I must say that the slaw was not overly wet, and not strong-handed with gorgonzola at all...just the right flavor combined with nice golden raisins. Definitely a fan, and would recommend this place, and hopefully when you come, Mike will be your guy!

Food was good. Burger and a salad. Our waiter was really great, local to Sedona. We sat on the patio and it was cold due to the wind. A waiter came by and removed a chair placed by staff keeping keeping the wind out by closing the drapes. It was a fire hazard, understandable. He was rude in his approach. We suggested a different table. Problem solved. No warm and fuzziness.

So it was not a horrible experience, but it is not a place I'd revisit when I venture back to Sedona. The wait for a table was about 35minutes(which is understandable, it's in a crowded area)..but then the server was lagging on top of it. The server was extremely friendly and sweet, but just was not the greatest server. Ordered water with no ice, 2 cups of icy water were brought..we reminded our server we asked for 'no ice' , and instead of taking the untouched icy water, he brought 2 more cups, on top of our other drinks, so we had a collection of cups.. then it took 10 minutes to track the server down for my hot tea that he forgot about. Once we got our food, we were hungry, so we were happy to see our dishes. The salmon either was overcooked or had been there a while, because the color and texture wasnt the fresh tender pink I'm used to. Then the salad was soaked in vinegarette ..and i mean Dripping on every bite, so I ended up eating just the top of it because the sourness from the abundance of vinegar was killing all flavors and made my tongue feel as if it had been pickled. Again, not major stuff that cannot be fixed on the restaurant's end, but I don't intend on venturing back to see if it gets better. ..or tip for anyone ordering their salads: ask for dressing on the side (like my wise mom did😆).

Been in Arizona for 2 weeks, and this is the best coffee I've had so far.
The gluten free pancakes were excellent. Nice and fluffy with great sides.
Our best breakfast dining experience so far.

My wife and I had breakfast. The service was good the food was good. They were very busy. She had French toast and I had the 2 eggs breakfast.We both had juice. Price was a' little high but it is Sedona. Our bill was 50 dollars for this breakfast plus a reasonable tip.

Shout-out to our waiter Justin. He created an excellent dining experience. It was my birthday and he brought out a dessert, whenever he lit the candle, the fan kept blowing it out. Then he stood on a chair to tun off the fan. I said that he didn’t have to do that & he said “but I want to.” I usually don’t leave reviews but Justin deserved one.

I am visiting from Chicago for the weekend and venturing into Sedona for the first time, and my friend brought us here for early dinner after sightseeing. The Secret Garden Cafe is a small quaint restaurant that perfectly matches the ambiance of the awesome Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping village. Dining in their heated patio was a pleasant dining experience, and the food was well presented, freshly prepared, and was really good. Their menu offers a wide variety of items. The staff was courteous, friendly, efficient and attentive. Sedona did not disappoint. It was way more than what I expected, and an early dinner at Secret Garden is the perfect way to end this memorable visit.

I wish we lived closer because we would be regulars at this restaurant. Mike made us feel right at home after a long day of traveling. The food was on point and brought out to us by the chef! I had the pastrami ruben and my wife had the caprese sandwich and a cup of corn chowder. Drink options were great. There were even snacks for our dog.
