Made with love

Good coffee. Fresh cake. Zero rush.

Coffee done right

Excellent coffee, made with care, every single cup. No shortcuts, just good beans and a steady hand.

Cakes from scratch

Fresh homemade cakes. Baked, not bought. Ask what came out of the oven this morning.

Sandwiches worth the detour

Tasty, generous and made fresh when you order. The kind you think about later.

Our story

Come for the coffee, stay for the cake.

We started Ginger Tree with a simple idea: a little café where you're greeted by name, your order is remembered, and nobody's in a hurry to see you go.

Tucked away under the trees, we pour excellent coffee, bake our cakes from scratch and make every sandwich fresh. Pull up a chair, open the laptop or just sit in the sun. You're home.
