Kings Garden Cafe St Lukes 118 Asquith Avenue, Mount Albert, Auckland 1025

"My experience was "meh". Pricey for a toasted sandwhich& coffee. Others ate more that didn't seem worth it. No smiling service. Food only ok. Maybe I got them on an off day but there are more places competing out there and I'm not in any hurry to go back- parking was good though& plant barn store was Great!"

"Nice cafe, good atmosphere but the food needs to be served warmer! The people who i ate with also made similar comments. But it was at least picturesque."

"A rainy Sunday morning brunch at a garden centre, we had high hopes. We arrived and chose comfy cane seating by the window. That was as high as the comfort levels went. Unwelcoming staff with no service, finally we worked out it was self service despite the high prices and a front of house team of 4. We hunted for menus, cutlery and paid before food was served. My Americano was actually a small long black. My guests cappuccino was cold. The sourdough was hard and perhaps staledough. Eggs Benedict pre-poached, covered with packet hollandaise. Salmon not smoked salmon bit from a packet. Hash browns dense and cold. The equally cold waitress paid most attention to us just as we were leaving, asking for compliments! Luckily the day was saved in a great sale at the plant barn, but that is for another review...1 star"

"Nice brunch at the Kings Plant Barn Cafe, coffee was good and the staff were great at customising meals to fit us. We had fish and chips (the fish serving size was a bit small but they were fresh and delicious), toasted sandwiches were great, I had the omelette with mozzarella, onions and chicken and it was delicious"

"Good to have a break& rest in this Cafe after browsing the garden shop. The food is ok not ideal. From interior design perspective, the atmosphere could be lift up better by better color scheme design. As the celling is arch shape, add some color can highlight space well. Some wall deco doesn’t represent the theme clearly."
