Food and drink


Get your coffee and nature fix all in one!


Local chocolatier Bracegirdle’s park their bus at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden on weekends and public holidays at certain times of the year.

They will offer a selection of their signature hot and iced chocolates plus award winning coffee, savoury and sweet treats and ice cream.

So make a day of it; bring a picnic rug and relax on the lawns with a tasty morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea from the Bracegirdle’s menu, specifically designed for Mount Lofty Botanic Garden visitors.
