The Place:

One of Six Cafe Botanixx’s, this particular one is located in the Palmers Garden Centre in Bethlehem, Tauranga. It was a pleasant environment with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a massive blackjack menu complimented with plenty on offer in the cabinets.

The Service:

The service was prompt and friendly.

The Presentation:

The meals were plated with style.  The tomato and greenery added flavour and flair.

• The Benedict – I ordered the vegetarian option and added bacon.  So I got eggs, bacon, Mushies, baby spinach, Turkish Pide and slow roasted tomato.
• The Eggs – were runny, maybe slightly underdone but not enough to worry about.
• The Bacon – was smokey and delicious with a good quantity.
• The Mushrooms and Tomato – the mushies and tomato were great and I loved the flavour so was worth the extra cost.
• The Spinach – was plentiful and cooked nicely.
• The Hollandaise – was good but pretty sure it was not homemade.
• The Bread – Loved the Turkish Side rather than an english muffin.  It was light and crisp.

 Would We Go Again?

Yes we would.
