Cafe Botannix 210 State Highway 2, Bethlehem, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty 3110

"Great place for a good morning tea. Beautiful plants around the plant centre for atmosphere."

"My wife and I have been regular customers here for years but we've noticed that the cabinet food selection offers a very meagre selection if you want vegetarian food. Only the usual lip-service vegetarian frittata. All the paninis and toasties had meat; no vegetarian options. No fresh salads on offer. On asking whether they could make up a vegetarian panini or toastie, there was reluctance and frostiness, making our request sound unreasonable! They reluctantly agreed to make a very basic non-meat toastie, but when it eventually arrived there was a big obvious slice of ham on it! Their "difficulty" with vegetarian meals ( including not clearly labelling whether dishes contain meat) happened previously and dishes ordered have had to be returned in the past when unannounced meat was found. NOT ACCEPTABLE! We're not returning there. That's a shame because the setting is quite pleasant."

"Beautiful cafe attached to the garden centre in Bethlehem, Tauranga..when we visited it was quite busy but not uncomfortably so because there was ample seating set in a very pleasant setting. The coffee size was acceptable but most probably on the small side particularly if you usually enjoy a medium to larger cup. The food pricing though I felt was a little over the top ... for example a vege scone at $14.90 . I know that prices have gone up but ... ! Overall this is a nice place to catch-up with friends."

"Great coffee, and selection of food. Have always been efficient, friendly and accommodating. Very nice place to meet for coffee, brunch, or lunch. Their Lemon Tart is divine, and the scones are the best I've had, anywhere. Good selection of teas too."

"Always a good stopoff here for decent coffee and brunch or lunch. We had the beef nachos for our gluten free daighter, french toast and bacon for the other hungry monster and the veggie stack. If you haven't eaten for days and all you can think about is a big plate to fill the tummy, don't get the veggie stack - it's only just big enough for a wafer thin super model. Order up the big breakfast for big eaters and hungry teenage boys. There's plenty on offer from the cabinet. Coffees are good enough, but not the bestin Tauranga. The girls are always friendly and most times plenty of parking in the Bethlehem Palmers carpark - after you've doused your body in as much caffeine as you can drink, pick up some pot plants and get into the garden to work off some of those calories!"
