Lavender Ridge Farms & Café

Tyler Rhodes was our waiter. And we got the biggest kick out of him and his extra ordinary personality !!! His words ( LOL ) only we agreed. We had lavender Ice cream and cheesecake which was amazing . The shop we bought soaps.lavender hand sanitizer and many other items . Their flowers are so beautiful and the drive there beneath the trees was so relaxing . A must see. Go get sum snacks and ask for extra ordinary Tyler Rhodes. My new friend !

We love this place. It's an awesome little off the road place to have lunch, and see the other side of gainesville. They have a really cute boutique with lots of lavender items. Home made soaps, plants, and other unique items for sale. Let's not forget about lunch. They have a really neat selection of lavender food items. Lavender ice cream, a neat chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. Not to forget about the lavender tea. We always feel really good after eating at lavender ridge.

Got here early during the lavender festival due to the posts on Facebook talking about it filling up. Got to the vendors and met some delightful people. Got some great advice on helping our lavender plant at home to grow from the owner. Delicious Lavender lemonade and lavender cheesecake. Cool animals!

The food is wonderful, the flowers are wonderful, the people are wonderful! The only issue I had was some of the pathways were made of loose sand and were a bit hard to walk on.

Beautiful drive out and such nice people sharing their love of lavender. I drove on into Fort Worth after visiting surrounded by the comforting wonderful smell of lavender. Nice stop ,dont miss visiting this jewel !

Love this place and the smell of lavender is amazing. Not only do they have/sell lavender, they have some pretty cool animals, great plants and a cute little cafe that serves the best lavender tea.

The gardens are so pretty, the gift shop is adorable, the plants they were selling were healthy and beautiful, and I truly enjoyed chatting with the owners. They were delightful and knowledgeable. The Cafe seating in the garden was so peaceful, and the staff was super attentive and accommodating. I can't say enough wonderful things about this hidden gem. They've carved out a little pice of heaven there, and I can't wait to return.

We had a great time. We enjoyed the cafe. Try the pesto wrap! Sooo good. We ordered everything on the desert menu and the lavender icecream and gooey lemon cake were amazing! I also enjoyed the lavender tea!! My husband loved the lavender lemonade. I'm not a fan of lemonade at all so I passed on that:-) I purchased several items from the gift shop. The candles are amazing!!!! I purchased the lavender dog wash and surprisingly my dog loves it. He is strange about certain smells but he didn't mind this one and it hasn't bothered his skin🙌 I will be going back to purchase more! Oh, I almost forgot, the lavender honey! It was/is amazing I purchased 2 jars!

Best time to pick lavender is in June, not August. Gift shop has plenty of lavender options. Last 0.75 mile is a dirt/gravel road

Smells great, love the flowers and cafe, and you will spend all your money at the gift shop 😂
