Pollen

For Floriade About Town, Pollen is mixing a little sweetness into the science.

Introducing the Berry Lab – a nostalgic raspberry coconut slice with a playful twist: a syringe loaded with
raspberry serum for drizzling, swirling and experimenting. Part sweet treat, part edible experiment, this
little number brings a touch of the laboratory bench to our bakery cabinet.

Created especially for Floriade About Town, the Berry Lab is our tribute to the colour, curiosity and
creativity that bloom at the intersection of science and nature. It’s a slice that sparks joy and just a hint of
mischief – perfect for little scientists, playful grown-ups and anyone who believes treats should come with a side of wonder.

Because who says science can’t be sweet?

Pollen

At Pollen, nestled within the Australian National Botanic Gardens, we serve fresh, vibrant food inspired by the seasons and surrounded by nature.

As the sister venue to Lunetta and Lunetta Trattoria, Pollen brings a warm, welcoming atmosphere to locals and visitors alike – a place where café classics meet thoughtful, produce-driven cooking.

From sun-drenched mornings with our signature brunch to relaxed lunches among the gardens, Pollen is a celebration of natural beauty, community connection and simple pleasures done exceptionally well. Our café is known for all things delicious, styled decor and the feeling that you’re dining in a living, breathing landscape
