POV: you came for the cherry blossoms and stayed for the coffee. 🌸☕️

The gardens are looking VERY good right now. We’ll see you after your springtime wander for a little caffeine pit stop.

Nature meets modern design. 🌿

Lush greenery, considered textures and those little details that make Ilex feel both contemporary and wonderfully connected to the gardens.

Iced coffee season is officially underway. ☀️🧊

Spring sunshine calls for coffee over ice. Best enjoyed in the garden, of course.

Pop by ilex and make the most of these warmer days.

Spring may be rapidly approaching, but there’s still a definite winter chill in the air. 🌿

Consider this your sign to settle in with a bowl of something hot, a generous side of perfectly toasted Grizzly bread, and a little time to warm up.

The ultimate winter lunch? We think so. 🤎

Introducing the new kids on the block.

The ilex winter menu just dropped and these new additions are not to be missed!

Buttermilk waffles with cherry compote, thyme mascarpone, hazelnuts and vanilla ice cream

Beef brisket, hash brown, pumpkin puree, spinach and onion jam

These dishes pair best with a crisp walk through the gardens, and your favourite beverage of choice.

We're open 9am-4pm 7 days. See you soon!
