Skip the chain coffee places like Starbucks and spend your time and money here instead. This place has a cozy, log cabin feel to it and the owner is a kindly woman with a heart of gold. I spent the morning chatting with the owner and other guests while eating her toast and drinking her coffee. It immediately felt like I was family while I was there.

This was an enjoyable, special breakfast restaurant. We dined twice over 5 days. The owner went out of her way to graciously welcome and serve us. Definitely recommend putting on your list

Garden Berry and the lady who runs it are both wonderful. Coffee was delicious. The atmosphere and conversation, with both the owner of the shop and other guests, was a really nice way to spend a couple of hours in Bessho. Also got to briefly meet the owner's famous orange cat, but it was too shy to allow me to take a photo. Highly recommend Garden Berry Coffee Shop!

A beautiful and quaint cafe serving yummy, fluffy toast and delicious coffee. A lovely place to have a slow morning and a quiet moment. I made friends with the owner, a beautiful older lady, and we discussed our mutual love of cats and shared photos with each other. She even made sure to find her cat and bring him downstairs to meet me. My partner and I loved visiting Garden Berry and are excited by the prospect of coming back one day. Please visit this cafe, it is a gorgeous experience :)

Everything is very cute in this coffee shop; every details are well chosen. The owner is absolutely adorable, she is nice and she is trying to include everyone; she is bringing comfy blankets to people if they are cold. Very comfy and warm inside. The food takes a little time because she is by her own to do everything. Don’t come here if you are rushing, this place is to take time and enjoy.

Excellent service from the proprietor. Food very good surpassed by the atmosphere and service. Hard to park on the street so there is a private space for customers 80m up the road - see photos.
