Their pasta in white sauce with mushrooms is amazing. They change their menu once or twice to suit seasons. they didnt have a vege hot food option when we went last week. staff was very friendly and accommodating, they catered to our request. Thank you!
Low key one of my fav lunch spots. Good coffee and amazing sandwiches. Also great atmosphere to just work or study for a couple of hours. Love it.
Love this place. Their waffle and Breakfast are really good. So many options on the menu. Very friendly staff.They not only made me feel welcome, but so much better!
I love coming here because the environment is so inviting. You can sit down with a good coffee, take a deep breathe in and relax. Also the eggs bene are bloody top notch.
WOW. This cafe is getting better and better. Swung by for brunch after not visiting for a couple of years (so many choices in Auckland to eat out) and won't be waiting so long to return again. We both had the paleo lunch and were not disappointed. Everything on the plate was cooked perfectly and the tastes of the fresh ingredients blew us away. The service was attentive and friendly and even tho we were warned there would be a 25 minute wait, it was worth every second. The iced expresso was so yummy and my companion's hot chocolate just as pleasing, I'm told. We finished off with a nice stroll through the garden centre, feeling happy and sustained. We will be back to dine again for sure.
My number one place for coffee on the Shore. The coffee is hot, excellent and consistent. There is an excellent variety of food both in the cabinet or from the a la carte menu, and the service is friendly and personable.
The thing that sets them apart in my view is their ability to recognise regular customers and value them.
This is the $12 breakfast I believe? Somewhere around that price. You are eligible to get it before 10am! Soo good and so worth it. Filled me up and wasn't boring at all. The food took a while to come out and I'd already finished my drink before then. Advise you to ask to get the drink with the meal. I will come here to try other foods on the menu definitely. Its very lovely to sit outside and see all the plants and enjoy the fresh air! They have a high tea as well! It's good to come here before shopping so you don't spend so much money. Typical cafe food with a beautiful atmosphere. 🌹🌷💗🌸
We came here for high tea on Saturday for a special birthday celebration. The table set up was beautiful with white tablecloths and old fashioned cups and saucers. We were looked after immediately by a lovely waiter who was very attentive and even took photos for us. The food was all lovely and there was so much of it we took a good amount home. We didn't at any time feel rushed or bothered. At $25 a head it was great value for mondy. All in all we had a lovely afternoon and highly recommend Café Botannix for high tea for a special occasion.
I've been to this cafe on more than one occasion and the food never disappointed.
In terms of service one member of staff sticks out in particular who seems to be a whirlwind of efficiency and kindness. Lucie has served us on more than one occasion and it feels important to acknowledge her as to me she represents the dying art of great customer service. She always seems to be a step ahead and acutely aware of the customers needs.
Big thumbs up from myself and the gang! We'll definitely return. Thank you.

Botanix Cafe at Palmers in Albany is a location we have visited a number of times for breakfast/brunch and cabinet food, but today we visited for lunch. We sat outside in the spacious comfortable area under cover, surrounded by colourful and fragrant plants, and twittering sparrows. On being seated we were advised that there would be a half hour wait for the food as they were very busy, and again when they took our order - good customer relations! No problem! - we cruised around looking at the great range of plants for sale to fill in the time. We ordered the grilled lamb rump with pumpkin risotto, and the chicken burger with fries. The lamb rump slices were tender and perfectly cooked, over creamy risotto with chunks of roast pumpkin - delicious. The chicken burger was a succulent grilled marinated chicken breast, pineapple ring, cheese, etc in a very tasty herb bun - excellent. The service was superb, the ambience relaxing, and the food yummy - don't know why we haven't lunched here more often!
Such a nice lunch:) cozy and lovely. Cake was so yummy and beef salad too.
I love eating here.. love the plants around!!
Food is great if your into sweet treats, servings are big!! Service is excellent.
Absolutely amazing! Great service. It was busy but we were served very quickly. The food was gorgeous and delicious and we had a cute seat outside with beautiful flowers. Would recommend the sticky date french toast, we liked it so much we ordered it twice.
Great breakfasts. Good thing was the eggs were soft.
Waitresses need to be trained though. Delivered our coffee but walked away without clearing last guests plates and cups. Needed to call her back. Didn't know which coffees she was delivering either. So we had to decide what the coffee was ourselves. Delivered a cappuccino and thought it was a hot chocolate.
Situated in a garden centre, so there's lots to look at in the nursery and the shop. Good food. Popular for brunch. Pleasant waitress. We visit regularly, especially now the small shopping centre and Countdown are nearly completed. Visited today with a walking group and very helpful young man, staff member helped to move tables together for us. Always helpful staff.
Food is great..serving very generous! For sure we will be back again.
Had chicken & avocado salad today, and it was absolutely DIVINE. The presentation of the food was definitely photo-worthy & the tasted SO good. Also had he banana & Walnut loaf toasted, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside which was a perfect balance with coffee. Quick and friendly service. Definitely will be back! 🥰💗
Rainy day, surrounded with plants, not too lousy, spacious, and the coffee was better than I thought. It was a pleasant visit.
Decent food and service. If you love plants, the place to go.
Ask Brian for the Hippo! Amazing latte art! He can also do bear/panda if you want. Lots of new chef’s specials to try out too.
