You May Have Seen Them on Social Media!
With over 1.3 million views on TikTok in just 4 days, our family of five bunnies has gained quite a bit of popularity!
However, our bunnies are not part of any “bunny café” and they are not available for adoption. Their owner simply brings them to work. Essentially, we are a café that happens to have… bunnies. Fortunately, we love to share the joy they bring!
Our Bunnies Are Well-Traveled!
Our owner used to take her pet bunnies everywhere. Naturally, when she opened Grange Garden in the fall of 2021, she wanted to take them to work… (She also brings her beloved Australian Shepherd, “Lucy” to work with her!)
Why, Might You Ask?
Because she can! Her dream has always been to create a business where our owner could have her pets with her every day. The alternative, to leave her pets at home alone all day while she was at the shop, was not an option.
Grange Garden is a peaceful, beautiful, zen space where the community can order a coffee, pick up a gift, and stay awhile. Or upon request, partake in a little bunny snuggling.
With the Exposure, Comes the Demand
Grange Garden is no longer a secret! When the news got out, it was both overwhelming and heartwarming for us. We only had one barista when it happened, so we were not prepared for the sudden popularity of our bunnies. However, we are extremely grateful for all the love and support we have received from all over the world.e from various places to visit us. The challenging part has been figuring out how to safely and responsibly share our bunnies with the world.
At Grange Garden, the well-being of our rabbits is our top priority. We take every possible measure to ensure they live happy and healthy lives. For instance, all our rabbits are vaccinated and never kept in cages. They are brought home every night to be loved, cuddled, and given the freedom to roam. Their diet mainly consists of Timothy Hay, along with organic leafy greens and vegetables. We also provide them with plenty of chew toys for entertainment.
We’ve hired extra staff and have set rules to keep our bunnies safe. Before entering the enclosure, we explain the rules, including how to handle a bunny. When time permits, we also educate guests about bunnies and encourage them to think and research before getting one as a pet. We strongly advocate for adoption over purchasing.
Growing pains…
We’ve all experienced them. They can be painful at times. But in the end, we GROW! And we continue to grow and improve everyday.
We take great pride in just how far we’ve come in such a short time. We are especially grateful to those who are patient, and kind. To those individuals who can understand what a wild ride it has been for us, we appreciate you!
With that, we are happy to host you and allow you to share in our house-made serotonin!
A Few Things to Keep in Mind :
We accept walk-in visits on a limited, first-come basis. Please note, we do not accept walk-ins over the phone.
Pro Tip?
Is the wait too long? Try a walk-in visit Monday through Friday during the school year! It’s usually quite peaceful, and if no one is waiting you can stay as long as you like!

FAQ
Are reservations required?
No! We do not require reservations. We accept walk-ins or reservations. Reservations take precedence over the walk-in waitlist and are recommended at busier times.
Are the bunnies there everyday?
Yes! The bunnies live just up the street and enjoy coming to the shop everyday from 8am-6pm. (weather permitting)
Do the bunnies run around the shop?
No, our bunnies have a 10×10 outdoor, covered enclosure that is padded with layer after layer of fresh Timothy Hay.
Are the bunnies available for adoption?
Sadly, no. The bunnies are our owner’s personal pets. If you plan to adopt a bunny please consider contacting us about our “Bunny Rehoming Project.” We get new bunnies just about every week! To date, we have successfully “re-homed” over 30 bunnies!
Please be aware that bunnies can have a life span of 10-15 years and require a lot of work. Please do your own research on owning bunnies before reaching out.
Please check out our Instagram profile for a list of available bunnies in search of a forever home : (@grange.garden) (#bunnyrehomingproject) or Email info@grangegarden.com for more details
Can I donate my bunny to you?
Yes! We provide off-site, rehoming of bunnies who aren’t living their best life. Once we find a potential home for your bunny, we arrange a safe, in-person meet and greet over coffee at Grange Garden!
Are there restrooms on-site?
We have an off-site restroom available for our customers. We share it with a neighboring business and ask that all customers use the deadbolt and kindly return our key.
Do the bunnies live at Grange Garden?
No. Our owner takes her bunnies home every night where they have dinner and roam free indoors.
What do you do with the bunnies when it gets hot or cold?
Bunnies love the cold! But heat is a big threat to all bunnies as they can easily die from heatstroke. We keep our pens covered with shade providing umbrellas at all times. When the temperature is above *68 degrees, each bun is given a frozen water bottle to keep them cool. The bunnies are removed from the outdoors any time the temperature reaches 78* degrees. In extreme weather (rain storms) we keep our buns indoors at home to free roam where they are safe and sound.
Are we allowed to take the bunnies out of the pens?
Yes! But only with assistance from one of our staff members. Although at times, we may be too busy to accommodate this.
Can my toddler go into the pen alone?
Unfortunately, no. Toddlers 4 and under are allowed into the enclosure on a case-by-case basis. Then, with a paid, supervising adult at all times. Rowdy or unsupervised children will be asked to leave. We ask that small children do not try to pick up, chase, or make loud noises around the bunnies. The best way to visit our bunnies is by sitting on the ground with them and let them come to you.
Are dogs allowed at Grange Garden?
Yes, our friendly, furry companions are always welcome! We kindly ask that aggressive animals are kept at home. For the protection of our bunnies – at no time, may dogs be within 4 feet of our bunny enclosure. Retractable leashes are not allowed at Grange Garden.
Is there anywhere to eat nearby?
Yes! We offer delicious, light bites at our Garden Coffee Bar! There are also a great selection of restaurants within a 5 minute walking distance.
