Lavender Ridge Farms & Café

A beautiful place to visit! Very friendly and helpful staff with a lot of local knowledge. You can stroll their garden, visit the animals (lemurs, birds, goats, etc), shop in their gift store, purchase plants and eat at their cafe! It’s a one stop shop that makes a great day trip. There’s no admission and it is really kid/teenager friendly. We easily spent 3 hours here. If you eat there- make sure to try their lavender tea/lemonade in their shaded garden. A gem in the Texas heat! 2 tips: go early to avoid bad heat in summer, use Google maps (instead of Apple) for GPS. Their lavender fields had to be replanted but should be ready for harvesting in ‘23.

I enjoyed the cafe, the gift shop, and three whole farm. Overall, a really lovely afternoon.

Omg , amazing food . The absolute best atmosphere for an afternoon meal . The pecan pie cobbler was so sinful
For a guy with a bariatric sleeve. Lol
Great prices and amazing wait staff.
Only thing needed was a dude on an acoustic guitar.

Easy to find, with gmaps, lovely and most fragrant gift shop with all kinds of goodies gor friends, family, even the kiddos. All kinds of goodies and things, beautiful plants to buy, some you can't find anywhere else, and don't forget the barn animals at the front and the back, plus walk thru the butterfly garden. Stayed and had lunch, it was a lovely visit despite the heat. Dress cool!

We went for a friends lunch birthday today. The atmosphere was friendly and service was exceptional. I had the chicken salad served on a croissant with broccoli salad on the side. It was absolutely delicious. You have to try the lavender cheesecake it was awesome!

It really wasn't what I expected since most of the lavender blooms had passed. BUT!! It was a pleasing experience which included getting out to nature, having a nice lunch and purchasing reasonably priced plants. We loved the wait staff, the gift shop personnel, and especially the helpful man and woman out front, who I assume were the owners. It was a good day. Be prepared to get your car dirty if it's rained because you go quite a way on a dirt road. Don't give up. GPS will get you there and mud washes off! It's worth it. Don't forget to see the menagerie of wild animals!! ❤️

Their customer service was absolutely incredible. Everyone was so nice and funny, they served food quickly and made sure we were content with what we had. Their gift shop was super cute and their products were really good quality with good prices and the person at the cash register was really nice. Their bathrooms were clean and sanitized and the food was absolutely amazing.

I was looking for something different to do on my day off and found this place. I'm so glad I did! A friend and I went there and had lunch at the outdoor Cafe which was really delicious. I highly recommend the lavender cheesecake for dessert. And I really enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of all of the beautiful flowers. They had many plans that you can buy and take home outside of the gift shop, which was full of many awesome products at really great prices which you don't usually find in gift shops. It was a really great day! Can't wait to visit again.

We drove just over an hour to Gainesville for a day out, and decided to eat here. Got here at about 1 in the afternoon, and it wasn't too crowded. I love that they have outdoor seating, so you can enjoy looking around while you eat. The people that own it and work there are just SO sweet! The food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are completely reasonable. The gift shop is great too, and I'm SO glad I was able to get some lavender honey. All in all, it's a completely lovely place, and we WILL be back!!

Nice little out of the way day trip... We enjoyed walking around the property enjoying the animals and flower gardens. Shopping in the gift store and picking up a few plants.

The Cafe offered a different, unique menu and the desserts were especially delightful.

Strong recommendation for something a bit different from the routine.
