Lavender Ridge Farms & Café

This place is amazing! I’ve been meaning to go for 4 years and finally got to this year. About an hour drive from the Dallas area and has a large lavender farm with a cafe. There are other exotic flowers with some lemurs abs birds, and you can walk around to take beautiful pictures. Their food and beverages are made with lavender like lavender tea (cold or hot) and lavender lemonade. The lavender ice cream with lavender honey was the highlight. Perfect for such a humid day.

You can harvest your own lavender.. they keep scissors and baskets ready for that. They also sell plants and have a gift shop that smells heavenly once you walk in with lavender lotion, soap, honey, sauce and natural oils! The lavender lip balm is my favorite.

This place is Soo nice! Sadly I visited on a Thursday so the cafe and shop were closed, but I strolled around a bit, saw the lemurs, amazed at the plants, and wished I had read the hours their open before coming 😅

It’s really cool to find family friendly spots with tons of character. This is one. Great staff made up of folks that were relaxed, kind, and pleased to help us. Food was summery and delicious with several dishes having lavender very thoughtfully fit in.

Pro tip:
Hit the cafe first (it’s all good… but don’t miss on..)
- Lavender Iced Tea 💯
- Gooey Cake 🤤
- Lavender ice cream before it sells out 🤓
Harvest your lavender
Then shop the nursery and store
- if you buy a lot… pull your car up on the way out and snag your new plants

We found parking easily and enjoyed the shop and cafe greatly. The three salad was fantastic and their lavender tea wa devine. It was a nice day out.

Calm and serene day trip!
The cafe and outdoor seating is so cozy. Its quiet & surrounded by nature. Benches and swings here and there. There's a large water fountain among all the dining tables outside. Gives it a a very Zen feel.

The food was simple but satisfying. Lavender lemonade is definitely a hit!
The gift shop has every lavender thing imaginable. Soap, lotion, teas, sanitizer, deodorant, essential oils, dryer sachets, insect repellent etc!

Can't wait to go back!

Vegan/Vegetarian friendly at the cafe!
❤❤❤ Will totally go back! I didn't go for the Lavendar farm itself as I had read it's lackluster due to loss of crops. I went for everything else.
Ate outside at the cafe with beautiful scenery, delicious food, awesome wait staff. You must try the Lavendar lemonade & they sell it by the gallon!
We went on a Sat & there was no wait. The food came out quick & was delish. They have several menu items labelled for Vegans/Vegetarians! I got the Everything avacado bagel. It was so good
I could eat it everyday!
They have an indoor shop selling all sorts of Lavendar products. They sell plants outdoors & have birds/Lemurs in large cages spread out throughout the wooded area to look at. They have a large beautiful flower garden.

Nice, cool and soothing place to be visited especially during the lavender bloom days. They have a nice lavende farm that will be fantastic to view when they are blooming. Lavender can be picked up ourselves. A cute cafe with a some salads and juice, ice tea on the menu. And a gift shop with soap, essential oil and etc. Calm and an enjoyable place

It smells amazing. You can clip your own or buy it cut in bouquets. The cafe offers lovely lavender-flavored lemonade and desserts. The gift shop has every lavender product imaginable. We were most impressed with the lavender honey--it's delicious and HEAVILY flavored of lavender. The back road is not well marked but Google maps did a pretty good job getting us there.

Really fun place to visit. The food was good and the animals were fun to see. My kids really enjoyed the place and we would definitely make another trip out there.

I organized a field trip here for my neighborhood herb group and friends. We had a wonderful time touring the farm, eating lunch in the cafe, learning about the history of the farm, and learning about planting, caring for, and using lavender. We went home with lavender goodies from the gift shop as well as lavender plants that are best for our area. We visited in mid-May so the lavender wasn't yet blooming, but the weather was absolutely perfect for our outing!
