Absolutely loved going here! Beautiful place with great food. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We went during the fall so we couldn’t eat outside but I hope to return soon and enjoy the surroundings. Highly recommend a visit!

This place is absolutely lovely. Do yourself a favor and try the cranberry chutney it’s amazing. The outside garden is beautiful and the staff was so great and friendly. I can’t wait to take my family and friends here so they can enjoy the experience too.

Cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The shop was very cute, I bought ear rings with pressed flowers in them. Then had lunch at the cafe, the iced chai and lavender lemonade were excellent and the garden area was beautiful. We also got the BLT and the chicken pesto panini, both really good. Would definitely recommend and come again.

INCREDIBLE!!!! THIS RESTAURANT AND BOUTIQUE IS FABULOUS!!!! My family and I were staying at Ellis Haven campground and looked around on Google for a unique or interesting place to go out to eat. This place was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful, cozy, unique, with an atmosphere that I can barely explain. Looking over the gorgeous gardens was incredible. We ordered our drinks ( which were fantastic.) Then we browsed in the boutique which happened to have a 50% off everything sale going on. I was in my glory. So many unique items that were priced so reasonably.... then when they took half off I couldn't believe what I got for my money. After browsing we went back to the restaurant side and got our food which was seriously incredible. Fresh, authentic, reasonably priced,. Staff was so helpful, polite, and endearing. I love this place. If it were near my home it would be the only place I would go out to eat. Go there. You will love it.

Everything is made to order so it’s delicious. The chicken pesto panini is my favorite. The cocktails are delicious too. Liz and her staff are kind and accommodating. The atmosphere is sooo zen and peaceful and natural! Perfect place to treat yourself to breakfast or lunch, enjoy the beautiful garden nature, read a book and revive yourself from the rat race! And there’s a small boutique attached to the cafe to shop. Love this place!!

Ansel's is one of me and my family's favorite local places! From their quaint and beautiful atmosphere, to the gardens that bloom in the Spring/Summer there's no place like it. We held my sister's baby shower here and it was just perfect. The owner and employees are wonderful to work with, understanding and flexible. We would highly recommend!

Love it here, one of my favorite places. The garden is on point, no notes. It's so fun to watch the birds and chipmunks while you eat. They are family friendly, and have some toys for your kids to play with, my toddler loves it there because of that. Have always enjoyed the menu, and they are consistent with how everything comes out after going there for about 6 years now, I've never been disappointed. If they have the Indian pudding on for a dessert, GET IT. And I have always loved their fun coffee drinks and their iced chai with oat milk is my personal favorite, the only thing I could drink while pregnant besides water. And three history of the Ansel Gurney house is so cool! Love the way they have turned this old house into a corner stone of the community for far longer than I've been going there. Quiet, quaint, quality food and service.
