Sonya's Garden: A Known Secret Delight

Sonya's Garden is no secret garden as it is well-known and yet it retains that hidden-far-away-corner charm with quaint, charming surprises at each step.

Wide, long, airy dining hall

We were the first to arrive on a weekday morning close to lunch time and we enjoyed at this table.

Tables are well-spaced so even if the hall is crowded there is no problem with noise

Sonya's Garden offers an eat-all-you-can buffet for the main course. At table, they serve you appetizer and salad. Their salad is all organic and their fresh juice drink is truly refreshing.

The bread served at Sonya's Garden is just rightly crisp on the outside and soft and warm in the inside.

There are several beautiful paths for relaxing walks. It's country-garden style where the plants and flowers are well-tended to but allowed to grow and stretch out to where the sun shines.

Air, sun, shade - it's all here

Beautiful trellises

There is a store called "Favorite Finds" where pretty, unique, precious items are sold.

"Favorite Finds" evokes Sound of Music's "My favorite things"

 Here are samples of what's inside "Favorite Finds".

Cups, tables, sofas for sale
