Braxton Gardens in New Forest

Lovely 🎄 garden 😊 good food too.

We have visited the cafe here several times and really like it. The toasted sandwiches and drinks are very good.

Great find lovely gardens to sit and have lunch or a cream tea also some lovely cakes highly recommend

Lovely garden to sit in and have afternoon tea

Delicious lunch of brie baguettes and sandwiches for the kids. Lots of choice for vegetarians and vegans, what a breath of fresh air! Had to try the cream tea as it looked soo good and we were not let down. Delicious fresh scones and a good dollop or jam and cream. Beautiful, relaxing setting. Would love to see some soya free cakes on the menu as my lad has a milk and Soya intolerance for next time we visit the new forest, which we now have an extra reason to visit again soon 😋

Visited today exceed expectations

Great find for a delicious cream tea after a trip to Hurst Castle.

Beautiful place, stopped for a lemonade after a cycle ride, the service was good and fast, the waitress was very nice and sweet but the lemonade was a tad expensive

Absolutely lovely tea rooms offering a lovely ploughman's. Stunning gardens to sit in.

Lovely little gem that we found. Gorgeous scones and cakes with very helpful staff. Hugely helpful as they cater for gluten and dairy free, massive plus!!! Made the effort to save an outside table for us with the dogs when one became available. Beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy our drinks/food. Definitely recommend.

Super delicious, garden designed with love and equally lovely people! Definitely worth a visit

Really liked it, sat in the lovely gardens.

So my sister and I had our breakfast there. Be it vibe, service or food, everything was on point. A perfect weekend outing with friends and family. Must visit !

Lovely place, the soup was good.

I ordered a cappuccino and got excellent coffee! The cakes were good and we found many gluten free options. We also ordered a good tomato soup and delicious sandwiches. The place is beautiful, full of character and in the garden near the nursery were two lovely dogs. The service is good. We had a lot of fun.

What a wonderful tearoom we sat in the garden, it was so peaceful and the homemade scone was to die for

We visited twice in the same day as the quality and quality of food was excellent. The choice of sandwiches was great and service was speedy and friendly. Afternoon cakes (and choice) was great, options for everyone and detailed information provided regarding allergens, definitely recommended.

The best cake I've ever had, totally delicious!!!

This is"quirky". It's a charming unique place to enjoy tea coffee cake and lunchtime snacks. It's very cozy indoors in the winter and the gardens are lovely in the summer. Recommended for a gentle light dining and relaxing experience.

A great atmosphere and a good range of sandwiches. The only small issue was they made my sandwich with no butter. They stated the customer has to ask for butter beforehand?? Rather weird. I was given a couple of small blocks of butter, but they were so hard, it would hv broken up my bread and I had no time for the butter to soften. Otherwise all perfect 😊

A nice inviting cafe with plenty of menu choices to choose from. Two sizes of coffee are available to choose from. Good welcoming friendly service. Would definitely come back.

Great Cheese Toasties and great customer service

Called in for a light lunch and a quick look at the garden. We enjoyed the toastie sandwiches and the vegetable soup - very tasty. The rose garden was closed (not surprisingly at this time of year) but we’ll call back in spring. We received friendly service and the garden restaurant is really quite pretty. We’ll worth a visit.

A really lovely, rather quirky but very comfortable countryside tearoom just off the main road from New Milton into Lymington. Great cappuccinos and wonderful toasted teacakes amongst other things on offer. The tearoom is very nice but there is also a really great garden to sit in when the weather permits. Staff are also lovely and very helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

When you go to see a garden in January you don’t have the highest expectations but if it looks this cute now then we will return in summer. We popped into the quirky little cafe to have a quick coffee but instead ordered a cream tea and a ‘fully loaded toastie’. I have made 1000s of scones for charities over the years but this scone was the best ever. Whether it was the sugar on top, spices or fruit I’m not sure but superb. My husband’s toastie was superb also, very spicy and fresh. We will return in the summer as would love to sit in the garden and have another cream tea!

Fantastic food , loads of vegan and vegetarian options, lovely and warm. Lovely owners. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and cosy place, delicious cheese scone 😊

What a great find. We only had pain au chocolat but they were served hot and were fresh and delicious and the coffee was good. Good menu of cakes sandwiches ploughman’s cream teas etc. Dog friendly. Good service and lovely setting. Will be returning!

Cream tea (scone) was excellent. This consisted of a scone, cream, jam and tea or coffee for £7.50 (herbal tea not included). Sadly the staff are not very friendly, lacking in humour is my way to describe them, slightly grumpy, you could say. Unfortunately we had to sit inside as they have a problem with wasps (obviously not their fault) but some wasps had found their way inside and were bothering us. We managed to capture them under a glass, or two. We ordered a second round of drinks. When clearing up we informed the waitress. To our horror she lifted the glasses up and told us they were no trouble and they wouldn't sting us. We asked her to leave all the glasses where they were. She ignored us. So our additional drink was ruined because the wasps decided to bother us again. The decor is rustic but could do with a good tidy.

sat there for15 minutes for someone to take uo o

Lovely staff friendly nice food worth a visit

The welcome in this what should be a beautiful garden restaurant was less than we expected. This is the second time we have been here and theowner needs to have smiling lessons. The young girl was welcoming and pleasant, but seeing her later vaping, wasn't pleasant. The food was excellent but not quick, so don't come here if you are heading somewhere else later.

Beautiful garden to enjoy the sun though the interior is good too. Delicious scone served with cream cheese and chutney. This is my favourite place for coffee. Opening times are a bit limited

Called in to day fri 26th Aug at lunch time with my wife visiting sister in law & husband, we took a table in the garden, I went in side to order, was told I take orders at your table, where are you sitting I didn’t see come in , table to the right I said. While waiting my wife visited the disabled toilet , only to find it in a dirty state, no soap no toilet tissue. A lady eventually came to clear the table and remove previous customers cups ect. My sister in law ordered 4 cheese & onion toasties coffee and pot of tea, only to be told not doing toasties and walked off. No sorry No explication. This is 2nd time we’ve received a less than friendly service at this establishment, I can assure you there won’t be a 3rd time.

Such an amazing place. Gardens are gorgeous and lovely seating provided to enjoy the food. my husband had a coffee and a cheese scone and I’d a fruit scone and tea. Both of us thought are scones were the best we had! They were delicious! The location was extremely picturesque and we throughly enjoyed our visit. We’ll definitely be returning!!! Amazing find! Have to admit neither of us like muffins so when we saw sign ‘muffins galore’ we thought that’s all they sold so we didn’t prioritise a visit. Now we’ve been there we can vouch they have lots of choice on their menu to keep everyone happy! We’re returning for lunch next time!

There is nowhere nicer for a light meal the this lovely venue. On a sunny day to Sit in the shade in their lovely garden was a delight. Having said that the inside area is very cosy in winter. The scones and cakes are delicious and the toasted cheese sandwich is the best I have ever had.

A lovely old fashioned place with great food. Lovely garden area.

We waited a long time to be served and the restaurant wasn't very busy either. Delicious food when it arrived.

Lovely tea room & garden with tables & parasols outside & cream teas as well as homemade soup & sandwiches ! Also dog friendly garden it was very calm & peaceful

Loved this place. So quaint and the staff are fantastic

Really lovely and peaceful sitting outside in the garden enjoying tea and a Bakewell Cupcake!

Service rubbish waitress was unconscious won't be going back

A great place for a quiet sandwich or ploughmans in lovely surroundings. Friendly staff, good food and drinks, thoroughly enjoyed.

Excellent location, peaceful, beautiful gardens with plenty of tables and chairs. Delicious cakes and teas, friendly staff.

Fantastic cheese scones, bit pricey

Delightful, quirky little tearoom. Friendly, efficient staff. Amazing cheese scones and cappuccino. Will definately return 🙂

Fancied a cream tea and so visited here. Gardens are beautiful and to sit outside in the better weather would be lovely. We sat inside and it was very quaint. We visited at a very quiet time and we were the only ones inside. Fruit scone and tea very reasonably priced and was delicious.

Not much in the way of Gardens mainly tea room some cakes nice but some very dry

Delightful as always, great food and drinks

Quick service, scones and tea for 2 people it was £12.50, absolute bargain. Scones were lovely, warm, clotted cream and jam. Stopped in on

What a lovely tea room. We popped in for coffee before a walk along Keyhaven Marshes. Then back for light lunch. 3 of us had crunchy topped cheese scone with cream cheese and tomato relish. Oh my goodness best cheese scones I've ever had absolutely lush. Leek and potato Soup was lovely very tasty also egg sandwich very fresh. Excellent

Oh dear…. £3.25 for a small thin slice of cake that had been on display for quite a while by the taste of it and 45p for a tiny bit of butter to go with a plain scone…. I don’t think I’ve ever been charged for butter to go with a scone! Nice surroundings, but left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Ned to update their opening hours. Just been here after a long walk having checked their op ending times. Closed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, fair enough for winter trading but update your media

Lovely to relax in the gardens whilst enjoying a drink and cake. GF date and walnut slice was delicious. Lovely sweet peas and plenty of butterflies to watch.

Arrived half an hour after their opening time from a long way away with a whole family including a new born - found the cafe dead closed. AND we weren’t the only people who were misled to this cafe. It’s extremely irresponsible and quite frankly misadvertising. So don’t plan to come here because they do not stick to their words and only put up signs on their front door so you only find out when you arrive.

We found this tea garden quite by chance and enjoyed a generous pot of tea and lovely cakes in very pleasant surroundings.

We spent 45 mins walking to this place and it was shut we got there. If you’re going to be closed for the entire weekend why not update google to say you will be closed?

Really lovely garden lovely food x would go again just for the cheese scones

Beautiful gardens a lovely setting for a cream tea. We had tea and scones for 4 ,3 of which were lovely 1 was underbaked inside and was replaced by another one which was worse ! A shame. Would still recommend for the setting

Beautiful garden with a lovely garden lunch menu. So many great vegan options, which is amazing. Lovely drinks and friendly service. It was a shame your scones are not also vegan. As many people don't notice the difference, might you consider reverting to a vegan recipe but simply not marking them vegan on the menu? Or even 'vegan option'?

Lovely tea rooms in pretty gardens well maintained, very good friendly service, lovely cream tea, liked the fruit scones which were topped with sugar and had a cinnamon twist, good gluten free cake choices. Dog friendly

Amazing lunch. I'm vegan and really was impressed with menu as always. So excited they did vegan cheese too. My mum and little girl also thoroughly enjoyed the food and a lovely stroll around garden after..beautiful Thank you! X

Poor gardens restaurant ok but nothing special. You are lulled into this by having to go into the cafe 1st

The coffee was great and the cake love it.

Great cake coffee foliage and lovely dogs! Ideal!

We discovered this place when out cycling and decided to take my mother in law there. Very pretty little garden and cafe. We had coffee and scones. My mother in law had scone with clotted cream and jam and my husband and I had cheese scones. All of the scones looked lovey , perfectly baked, fresh, light and fluffy inside. However, when I started eating mine I thought it was sweet, my husband agreed that his was too. This rather spoilt what would have been rather a lovely scone. I have a savoury tooth and found this off putting. I assumed it to be a mistake. When I went to pay, I complimented the lady on the till ( who was also the lady to make all of the lovely looking cakes and scones) about how light and fluffy the scones were but that we found the cheese ones rather sweet. “Yes” she said. “We put sugar in them!!” I have never come across such a thing before, and it wasn’t very nice. Obviously not a mistake so I won’t be ordering one again. The same lady was also rather brusque in her answer, and not “ friendly” as they advertise themselves to be. A real shame as it could be a gem of a place.

Nice setting but unfortunately no decaf cappachino and no fruit scones. I would not have provided email address if I knew it was to be used for post visit survey.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente experiencia (Original) Excellent experience

This delightful cafe is tucked away in a quiet road and we only found it by accident! The choice of muffins was amazing and the cakes looked delicious too.You can eat inside or in the pretty garden if it is warm enough.

Called in for a coffee with two friends and thought we’d have a piece of cake or scone. For a place to be called Muffins Galore, the first thing we noticed that there was only one muffin on offer. Why? Scones looked very good so we opted for one fruit scone and one blueberry muffin, both to share between the three of us. The woman behind the till was lifeless. Why on earth do people work in hospitality when they can’t offer a smile and engage with the customer? Her face was stern. Her manner was unappealing and it felt as if we were troubling her by just being there. We said we’d sit in the garden - to which she wanted to know the name of the table. There was only one other couple in the garden so really...you need to know exactly which table we’ll be at? Could you not find three women out there??!!! Ridiculous. The waitress delivered the coffees then brought out the scone and muffin. No spare plates (as we were sharing). No spare knives or cake forks. I mean - what did they think we were going to do? No thought at all. So we sent her back twice to get what was needed. Her body language was as bad as the lady at the till. She’s obviously trained her! What’s so disappointing is that the venue is lovely but the people so unfriendly. They don’t deserve to be in business.Will we go again? Maybe - as the scone was fabulous (the muffin was bland) but the lack of hospitality would send us elsewhere in a heartbeat.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente comida vegetariana y opciones veganas (Original) Great vegetarian food and vegan options

What a delightful place for a relaxing cup of tea and cake...or in my case a cheese scone, one of the best I have tasted. The informal gardens are lovely with plenty of room between tables and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The location of 'muffins galore at braxton gardens is LOVELY. The gardens are well kept all year round (although currently part of them is closed.. i don't know why but it would be good to have re-opened ASAP!). It is peaceful, hidden away.. stunning.There are plenty of tables outside, with parasols, which in the summer is GLORIOUS. Having a stoll around the small gardens is wonderful.The inside of the tea rooms is also beautiful, LOTS of tables, pretty table cloths, the table names are types of herbs which is a very sweet idea. Pretty, colourful crockery.There are always options, for gluten free and vegan, I am both and there is always a soup, with GF roll, vegan butter, GFVG cheese onion tomato toastie, a type of cake/sweet treat, etc.They are extremely dog friendly which is great, they always have a dog treat for your furry friend which is MUCH appreciated :-)Often classical music playing in the background which, although I wouldn't usually listen to is honestly very calming and gives the place a great atmosphere. I love it!The food is great, nice options, very fresh, home made food which is truly lovely. Good portion sizes, good value for money.We have tried many options from the menu and i wouldn't complain about any apart from one - the ploughmans. The bread is a very small amount. ESPECIALLY for the price!! I have actually spoken to multiple other people at the tea rooms who have also felt the same about the ploughmans. If they only served more bread it would be worth the price as I think it's the most expensive item on the menu and I would be inclined to order it in future.There are a few other things which could use some improvement:The toilets for one are quite 'rustic'/a bit run down. They could just do with a bit of work to make them a bit more 'inviting'.Also, the 'extra' large room in the tea rooms is the same, just a little bit under-done. One end and a corner at the other end just feel a little bit like they've been put together without much attention. The staff are friendly and they don't do anything wrong as such.. but they just aren't really THAT friendly, they don't seem to have the natural hospitality skills to be open and chatty with people.One of the younger waitresses made quite a few mistakes last time we were there, and wasn't really very apologetic about them.. such as not bringing over one of the items we ordered and then claiming rudely that we hadn't ordered it when we asked where it was.. when she went to check, we had ordered it and it was her mistake. Also short-changed us, which i definitely didn't feel was an honest mistake on her part.

Gorgeous settings, great food and excellent, friendly service... what more could you ask for? Well, they also offer numerous excellent vegan options too, so that was a perfect result for a vegan/vegetarian party such as ours! 👍☺️

I visited for the first time on Saturday and was so impressed I came back the next morning to show the family. A lovely, quiet tea room with great selection of cakes treats and snacks. I visited with my sister specifically for the selection of vegan cakes available and we were very impressed. Food was fresh, coffee was fantastic and staff were really friendly. We will definitely be coming back- highly recommended.

The drinks were nice, however, we had cheese scones and they were disgsting, no taste of cheese at all. As the place was called muffins galore, i expected a large variety to choose from, however, there was 1 set of muffins all of the same flavour, the rest of the selection was about 5 types of cake.

Visited here today with two friends. Service was friendly and prompt. Large variety of standard and vegan cakes. Lots of teas and coffees to choose from. We didn't have lunch but the menu looked good. Would definitely recommend.

Give this place a wide berth, Muffins Galore should be done under the trade descriptions ! Stale poor quality muffin. Dirty unkempt tea rooms, disgusting toilets with a hand towel that looks like it hasn’t been changed for weeks ! and the staff use that toilet ! Uncomfortable seating, poor service I could go on and on, really has nothing going for it, garden nothing special either ! Really is not worth your time going here there are much better establishments close by !

Excellent vegan options and consistently yummy food (did I mention their home made cakes!) We are regulars and can't recommend this secret hideaway spot enough! Thanks guys

Old school tea room in delightful surroundings. First class food and service. Visit soon before a rich company buys them out and ruins everything!!

We don't go asa frequently as we used to because of my driving problems at the moment but it has been one of our favourites for some years, summer and winter. A quiet backwater in a pleasant garden setting. All the food we have evr had has been excellent though they dob't do full meals. The cakes are home-made and the lemon drizzle and fruit cake are our favourites. Good tea and coffee and a pleasant place to sit, either inside in winter or outside on a fine warm day. Lovely place, excellent food.

I loved this little place. Wood fire, amazing second and lots of vegan options. Worth a visit for a treat. The dog loved her treat as well.
