Acorn Nursery & The Oakes Cafe

I gotta say, the Oakes Café is perfect in this generously sized plant nursery. The double whammy — well, triple if you include the giftshop — is a very nice way to spent a sunny Sunday morning.
If you’re after a few new things for the garden this is the place for you. It has a little something for every gardeners needs. It is, however, on the expensive side of things but that comes from a country bumpkin like myself who only has to go on a 5min drive to get to an out-​of-​town nursery. For where it is, smack bang in the middle of Surry Hills, right nearby the station, this nursery is very modestly priced.
The café makes some great food and I hunkered down into a banana, coconut and walnut muffin. Let me tell you, there was a LOT of coconut. The thing practically fell apart because the coconut outdid the actual muffin. Still very good though. The coffee was fairly average but considering it is a café in a plant nursery, it’s doing alright for itself.
I highly recommend the Acorn Nursery and suggest you pay the Oakes Café a visit while you are there.
