My power went out unexpectedly this particular Saturday morning so making my own pumpkin coffee was out of the question. Instead of hitting up Starbucks, I decided to hit up this coffee shop that I remember seeing next to Gazebo Gardens a few weeks ago. We arrived at about 12:45pm. They close at 2:00pm, FYI. It is a tiny shop with room inside only for the ordering counter and a bar top table that has black coffee carafes and the straw dispenser and stir sticks etc. There is a tiny patio in-front of it with 3 tables. Luckily if the tables are full, you can just walk 10 feet away into Gazebo Gardens and enjoy plenty of patio seating around the nursery. They had fresh muffins, cookies and there was a single croissant left. MY Mom ordered a hot pumpkin pie latte and I got a large iced pumpkin pie latte. It was really good and it did taste like pumpkin pie, not overly flavored of pumpkin spice. It's in a nice spot where locals walk up to the shop and know the regulars. People are friendly on the patio. And the barista was friendly and quick to get our orders done. Definitely a nice coffee shop out of the regular coffee chains.

Delicious coffee and a walk through the garden area. There was a precious dog that kept hanging out with my sister and I as we sat and drank our coffees.

The coffee was so delicious! I had the Thai coffee and it wasn't too sweet and it was so flavorful. The coffee shop itself is small and cozy. Inside they also have other local item they sell. It was fun to look at all the different item. They were even selling locally made dog treats! There wasn't much seating at the cafe, they only had a handful of small tables on the front porch, none inside. Once I got my coffee, I actually walked around the plant shop next door instead. The staff was excellent. The barista was very helpful and knowledgeable when I was choosing what coffee I wanted. They do offer milk alternative at this cafe.

Quaint, energetic little shop on main street Van Ness, the Fresno high/ tower district's. Coffee is fantastic. Under-stated. Equator label it's really good beans.Right in the same as Lot Gazebo Gardens. Van Ness and shields.Mostly Known as the start of Christmas Tree Lane.I assume it would be considered old Van Ness. Booming. All around.....Fantabulous experience.Thank you,Cafe Van NessKid-friendliness: Plenty of personal family area around.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely geared for Handicap community.

This is the cutest little Cafe nestled into the Gazebo Gardens Nursery, it shares a wall with a gift shop, which is also the CUTEST gift shop.I ordered my classic vanilla iced latte with oatmilk, it was delicious. The latte was flavored nicely, not too sweet, and it was strong. I woke up extremely early that morning and needed a pick me up in the afternoon and this latte did just that.The service was very nice, seemed to be family owned ? Very kind and uplifting energy. I was there on Superbowl Sunday so it wasn't too busy, I imagine on normal Sunday's it probably gets really busy.

This is a cute little coffee spot hidden in Fresno. I love that it's connected to a nursery as I sometimes like to walk through it after picking up a coffee from the shop next door. Their speciality lattes are rather sweet, but still pretty good with a different choice of Pastries(cookies and bagels mostly). They also have an adjoining quirky gift shop full of unique trinkets that's also nice to walk through :) The barista's there are nice & social

Driving through the Fresno High neighborhood on our way to Clovis, we decided to stop and get coffee. Got the Terrace and was very surprised at how good it was. A side trip to Gazebo Gardens nursery was fun for the kids. The cafe itself is small but quiet and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a return visit to this nice little spot.
