About this place
Puttanesca-style tomato pasta with tuna, olives and capers is one of the lunch options at GROWERS CAFE. One diner enjoyed its savoury flavour, with a hint reminiscent of anchovies, and later wished they had ordered a larger portion. Lunch pasta comes with salad, soup and a set drink, and a larger serving is available, making it a good option when you want a more substantial meal.
For a taste of several things, try the Growers Plate, which brings together a main dish and the cafe’s original deli items. Choose from the day’s selection of bread 2 or multigrain rice; soup and a set drink are also included. One visitor chose the white-fish fritter as their main and remembered its crisp texture.
For something sweet after your meal, consider the French toast, cooked to order. The menu describes it as soaked in a rich egg sauce, crisp on the outside and soft in the middle; allow around 20 minutes for it to arrive. A visitor stopping by during cafe hours ordered a peach squash float with carrot cake and enjoyed the drink topped with peach sorbet.
Next to Ozaki Flower Park, the cafe works well for a meal or a coffee and something sweet before or after browsing the garden centre. There is also terrace seating, offering a place to eat or take a break in Shakujidai, Nerima.
