Vegan Friendly
This place has a very high turn over of customers. There has never been a time on the weekend where I have been without there being a line at the counter.
The staff are on point and very friendly, they have a good understanding of food requirements i.e. vegetarian/vegan.
Kings have added a plant based (vegan friendly) menu to their arsenal and its been really great.
I had the burger fries and tart. Burger was full of flavour had the basic lettuce, vegan cheese, vegan mustered plus some pickles, marinated onions and other picked veg deelish. Chips well done and crispy with a side of vegan aioli . The tart had a rich and smooth chocolate top and a dense nutty base.
One thing I would suggest when you go here is to CALL AHEAD! Because this has become so popular many items are not available when you get arrive.
Give it a try, meat eaters don't be scared the burger may surprise you.
Wow! Super busy mother's day brunch
Your staff are so friendly and efficient and the new plant-based menu is amazing!
Even with a packed house we got our meals and drinks with very little wait and it was quite honestly one of the best vegan brunches ever.
Thanks Garden Cafe, tell your staff they are fabulous and look after them well :)
Vegan review!!
Ok I would just like to say that Kings garden Cafe at plant barn Henderson is delicious. As an Indian I love my food to have nice balance of spices and taste and this was just beyond words. The salad had a delicious dressing on it and I hate kale and the kale was delicious, so thats saying something. My friend was also very impressed with the flavours of the food and we will definitely be back to try out the rest of the dishes. Also the staff were really nice and a young man that served us was lovely ��
Love this place - has vegan food and will always accommodate to all. Only thing it’s missing is uber eats because sometimes you need good coffee but don’t have the time to leave work �
I was very impressed with service on Mothers day! It was so packed I thought we'd be waiting for ages to get our orders but we spent longer waiting in line to order then we did to get our coffees! Very organised & efficient wait staff & kitchen, so glad we chose to go their for our mothers day breakfast.
I recently visited with my son who has food allergies and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure there was something he could eat. I really appreciate the effort they went too. Such great service especially for my son who normally can't eat out at places due to his allergies, made him feel very special - Thanks guys �
We went there today because I'm vegan and heard their plant based menu is great. It really is! I had the burger, and omg it was awesome! Ben was super friendly and accomodating, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and satisfied! Their vegan tart is also REALLY good! I will definitely be back!
Thanks Ben!!! ��
We came yesterday for my daughters third birthday. It's been our local since she was first walking around as I love the coffee and service! We love the new kitchen to play with in the play area it's always been a fun place with kids. Our experience yesterday was top! Great customer service is going up the road for pink candles for her piece of cherry cake that was super yummy! Thank you, it made it extra special.
I'm a regular customer, I often come here for lunch with my mum. The food and service here is always consistently good and it's always easy to get a table. I will definitely keep coming back to enjoy more of your delicious food!

We came in yesterday for Lunch, and gosh was it a busy little place! But so amazing. The beautiful outdoor garden seating made it even better. The service was prompt, helpful and understanding. The staff, were all so lovely and the food was absolutely delicious! I had creamy mushrooms, ā cinnamon bun and a long black. Gosh it was all so yummy! The coffee was absolutely perf also! Definitely a must visit place!
Awesome food great service and nice staff was busy so thought it might be a bit of a wait but food arrived before I expected. Nice outside surrounded by plants. And dog friendly
These guys are amazing. Best coffee in Akl. Amazing staff. The moment we enter in the cafe they know our order before we even get to the person and welcome us with a cute smile everytime.
Just wanted to say Thanks guys we’re addicted to your coffee now😊😊
The food here is sensational, excellent service too!
If you like a descent breakfast give the "Big westie" a go.
Decent breakfast for what you pay and nice ambience outside amongst the plants.
Would happily come here again.
Lovely friendly place to go for a relaxing, yummy snack/meal. Will definitely return very soon 👍
Lovely sandwiches and coffee. This shop has really good selection of cabinet food and all reasonably priced. Corn beef pide is my favourite - only 13.50 which has decent filling and comes with fresh salad. Outdoor seating area is spacious and airy.
The garden cafe within Kings Plant Barn is really spacious and is dog friendly. The food is amazing and really high quality, it’s really reasonable pricing and it doesn’t take long at all. Plenty of parking and great for shopping and lunch at the same time
It's really family restaurants. Good food and coffee. Best thing it's really nice garden inside the café.
Had the most amazing eggs bene- cannot remember last time I would rate so highly and worthy of a mention! Staff were great and super welcoming. And the speed in which we got our food was impressive! Highly recommend 👌
The best cafe in the west which must be tried in your life 😍
Good food (smashed avo)(flat white) - great service. I'm in love with the FOH girls. So cute.
5 stars plus
Summary:
If you like gardening and catching up with people this cafe is a cute little hidaway. I have purchased and sat in multiple times. Good quaility coffee and well trained barista's (have not had a bad experince with coffees) there Chai Lattes are good as well. Food is presented tidy and appetising on plate, tastes well, however I would say for some items a mild to moderate portion size can leave you hungry, so keep in mind if you are a big eater like me. Food was brought in a reasonable time. For the style of cafe e.g. order at counter and collect your own water glass and cups it works well and had no issues. Thoose who enjoy having orders being taken while sitting and water brought to them this place may not be for you. After you finish at the cafe it is always pleasent to go for a walk around the garden centre.
Good service. Good food. The fastest food service i ever been even on Father's Day.
Lovely Cafe nestled in the garden centre. Great vegan options that were nice and tasty! The Mrs got the impossible burger and I had the mushrooms which were both great!
Lovely setting amongst different plants and fun for the kids too, exploring and seeing the different colours amongst the multitude of flowers. Food was delicious and did not have to wait long even though it was a busy mid morning. Great play space container for the kids to keep them occupied as you have a coffee within arms length so you are never too far from them. Great spot.
Amazing cafe, top notch kai, excellent service and one of the most affordable places in Auckland given the all-round high quality
toasties and burgers are very yum yum +++ so much flavour and sour dough bread is lovely ++
