The coffee (my long black) is the best you can get. I divert just to have this coffee and the service is amazing. Debra is the best barrista. I get so much productive administration work done here because of the quality. �
Kings Plant Centre is one of my favourite haunts in general. Always buy my plants from there because they always grow. The great bonus for me as I wander happily amongst the plants is the excellent coffee I get here- one of the best in Auckland. I also particularly like how amongst the staff, they seem happy and fun and a bit irreverent whilst being highly professional in their service. The woman manager who is on in the weekend seems to bring out off all of these great attributes in her team. Keep it up. Kings in general has great friendly, professional service - it’s real and it’s good
I come almost daily. Great service. Amazing coffee!!! Freshly baked pastries. Lovr love the chicken satay salad. Beautiful ambience with all the fresh flowers and French Windows.
Get cup of amazing cafe v(^.^)v
Love their corn fritters �
I had eggs benedict with bacon. Absolutely delicious. The homemade hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever tasted. I will be back
I made a group booking 2 weeks in advance for 8 of my colleagues and requested to be seated outdoors, I was assured via email that this would be arranged. However, come the 21st September my booking was apparently confused with another and so we were seated indoors on a rather beautiful day! I did receive an apology after approaching staff but it was rather disappointing, especially when I booked in advance to avoid having any issues. I did however enjoy my 'King's Breakfast', very generous portions! We're all human, miscommunications happen but I don't believe I will come here with my work again... perhaps just myself so I can actually be seated outdoors this time haha!
Nice place we enjoyed our lunch.
I got the open steak sandwich. The portions are giant here! It was messy to eat but the taste is good 😋
There's a cute play area for the kiddies too 🌿
Lovely place to enjoy a coffee and sweet treat. Delicious food from the cabinet and clever use of space to keep kids entertained. Friendly staff and gorgeous surroundings.
Had an awesome lunch today! Chef made this yummy, plus healthy pan-fried fish with roasted veggies! Thanks Chef for awesome lunch! Barista and other staff are very friendly too! Love to have lunch there.
Secret hidden gem for vegetarians!! I don't know why this has such a low rating? I love it here! Fantastic food, friendly staff, presented beautifully! The vegetarian selection is really good - my fave is the eggs bene on corn fritters! If you want something basic you can make your own plate with the side options too. The fries are plentiful! Perfect portions, great coffee/tea selection. There is usually a bit of a queue but thats because its popular. Give it a try! Outside seating on a nice day too.
Good quality food. I come often. Superb coffee. Halloum beetroot salad, caesers salad, eggs benedict, chk avocado burger with the plum sauce all yum!
Met my daughter here. Was very impressed with the place, the walkway through the centre was covered in making it good walking in the rain. The staff are very pleasant and attractive. You should see the size of the Eccles cakes. I used to have it heated, but discovered that it got quite messy,so now I don't bother and it's a lot easier. I had( in fact I had 2) honey ginger drink. heavenly! ! Can't wait to go back
Came here for lunch yesterday as weather wasn't great so wanted somewhere close to home. Came in with my partner for lunch before going out to advertise my business. Food was awesome, portion sizes were good value for their price. We ordered mince on toast, an omelette, and wedges with cheese, hot chocolate and a mocha. Food was really good and well presented. Attentive staff were also good, going around the tables ensuring customers were satisfied. Will definitely be back for lunch again :-)
Yeah, nah.
We used to come here years ago but then they hiked the prices up to ridiculous levels so this is our first time back in about 3 years.
Although the prices have lowered, it seems the quality and standard has also lowered.
30 minute wait for nachos that were microwaved! No seasoning and strangely sweet.
3 of the 4 meals came out and then we waited another 10 minutes for the French toast.
Maybe we'll give it another 3 years before we return, then again, maybe we just won't bother
UPDATE went back yesterday and it was much better. Will be going back in the future. Must have changed hands!
Yummy eggs Benedict on hash browns beautifully decorated and delicious passion fruit cake and very attentive, efficient staff. A relaxing place for lunch or a catch up with friends. Nice to be able to browse the plants on the way out. Will definitely continue coming here😀
Love this place! They made me the best soy hot chocolate. I can never get someone to make me a good one, but this place does! I've had the haloumi brushetta many times and love it. I've also had the veggie nachos which was delicious too. I ordered porridge and it was way too much, but I loved it, it had some nice spiced apple in it. The staff are very lovely! Never had a problem with this place.
I live locally and this is my go-to café to take friends to! The food is always fresh and plentiful and the staff know my coffee order! We generally order off the blackboard and I find the staff very helpful if you want to alter the set menu!!!
I love their mango smoothie!
The sandwiches out front are not very good, but the eggs benedict is delicious, specially the potato hash......

The place have been well located on the Asquith Ave. in Mt Albert as the only eatery place in the corner. With AIS college at back and other shops around place makes a good location for them. coming to the environment of the place is very good giving a peaceful atmosphere a good place for any kind of person to enjoy the time, with nice greenery around giving a natural look to the place. but its just like any other cafe.
Regarding the people, its a small cafe with perfect amount people to serve you, but I found them running unnecessary here and there, even if there is just one table, I can not figure out why.
I am a coffee lover and in this country coffee is same every where is going just for normal Cappuccino or mocha or any other similar, not much of difference. I had a Chicken Mushroom filo which tastes really bad, it did not have that perfect blend of Mushroom, and chicken with eggs, and in my portion chicken was given one side and mushroom the side of filo.
I did not found a healthy relationship between staff and customers even I have been a regular customer.
Itt's the walking through the fragrant garden first thing in the morning then sipping from a cup of really good coffee... love it.
Pleasantly surprised by this little cafe. Good coffee, perfectly cooked poached eggs and a generous serving of delicious bacon. Recommend the eggs benedict! Quiet but friendly service. Nice way to start the weekend :)
We had breakfast here over the Easter Break. We will come back as we had a very lovely meal. We had blueberry hotcakes and the French Toast, both dishes were presented well and were very nice and had generous portions. I loved the ginger latte which was quite strong - unique. I think I am hooked on this drink and will have to pop in again soon. Service good and staff friendly. No problems with parking for breakfast. Prices also competitive. Recommended.
We came here for lunch on Saturday. We'd hesitated because, whilst a morning tea at the Henderson store some months ago had been very nice, the reviews here were.. mixed. Spotting they were mostly from 2012, we took a gamble and went anyway. Definitely don't regret it! Better half had a bacon and asparagus quiche with a side salad, and I ordered the lamb cumin burger: It was huge, well balanced, and you could tell the pattie was home made.
We just about managed to fit in the shared lemon and pistachio slice. Lots of icing, and very sweet. All that in the sun, with some cold fruit juices / iced teas. Yum. Will definitely come back!
Went today for some veges for the garden and popped in for a coffee, the Thai chicken salad looked great so I had a small bowl - it was huge for $6.50 Daughter had the brownie and it was a really nice Brownie. Coffees were great as per usual
I want that salad recipe it was stunning
We have had varying experiences on our visits to this cafe, usually due to the time of day and what you order the coffee is always good and hot and all the cabinet food looks good - the sandwiches are fresh and fairly standard, the muffins are large and full of fruit and the brownie isa wickedly indulgent, rich chocolate treat! If you order from the kitchen and they are busy, be prepared for a wait, sometimes long. The brunch dishes are the usual fare, but on our last visit the bacon was crispy and plentiful,hot cakes soft and fluffy, but I wouldn't recommend the bland mushrooms. I haven't tried any lunch dishes from the menu , though I'm told the chicken salad is very good
However the setting is lovely, surrounded by plants , they have seating inside and out and it's child friendly- especially if you sit outside as the birds come and clean up the crumbs! The staff are friendly and helpful too
Awesome atmosphere! I sat outside in the deck area, nicely shaded and surrounded by nature. Nice little nook for studying. Staff we very accommodating, and happy for you to stay as not too busy!
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
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.
First visit...
Beautiful environment and peaceful ambience. Friendly, efficient and helpful service, too :)
The Chicken & Bacon Burger was incredible and the Brioche French Toast was superb! Plus, the Hot Chocolates... amazing. Everything in large quantities and delicious - easily worth the money! Plus, gotta appreciate any eatery that's got heaps of tissues on the table as opposed to just one.
The restrooms were of high hygiene & cleanliness standards.
All in all, it's easily the best cafe in the Mt Albert/St Lukes area! And, I'm surprised I had to dig to find this place online... they should market the hell out of it!
Yummy food in nice setting of Kings garden centre. Pictured is the satay chicken wrap with salad $13.90 & kids waffles $12, plus some of the delicious looking sweet treats in the cabinet
Had such a lovely experience at Kings Plant barn today, Jessica and her team offer an extremely professional service and a lovely selection of food, highly rate them for there service.
A huge food selection. But the frittata caught my eye. Excellent service, high food standard and the coffee was nice and smooth.
An awesome cafe, always come here when I am in the suburb. Perfect dishes and environment. Plates are big enough for an average person. Quick service. Thanks. Recommend to everyone.
Met and talked to Bruce. A regular apparently,
Had a great breakfast while I waited to take a golf lesson
Had a lovely time here! This cafe has an amazing, warm and cozy interior and excellent service. All the staff are friendly, was served by a cheerful and energetic waiter, Alex, who provided all that I needed almost immediately. A perfect balance of speed and quality, absolutely no compaints! Will certainly come back with more people.
Great food and friendly service. I had the satay chicken salad and it was fresh and tasty.
