The café’s floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the lush grounds, making it one of New York City’s most serene and stunning Mother’s Day destinations. Adults can savor elevated spring dishes like wild mushroom risotto and spiced lamb flatbread, while kids enjoy a Sprout’s Prix Fixe menu with comforting classics like pasta, chicken tenders, and warm cookies.

Beyond the meal, visitors can explore BBG’s seasonal highlights including the Bluebell Wood, Lilac Collection, and Osborne Garden. The final days of Weekends in Bloom will also feature pop-up music and dance performances, Discovery Garden activities for families, and guided tours.
