About

The Botanic Gardens Cafe is all about the location. Sitting by the lagoon with a coffee is a lovely way to spend a morning. The food is generally good, though some diners have had issues with consistency and service speed. It's a very popular spot, so it can get busy and a bit noisy, but for a relaxed lunch with friends, it's hard to beat the setting.
