    A little over priced compared to other plant stores, they’re over stocked and cluttered. A lot of plants look sick or dying. Staff were disinterested and not welcoming or friendly. Cafe was really nice though, great food and coffee.

    It's my favorite place. I like coming here in the spring it's like a colorful garden and the feeling that I'm walking in the spring garden. I have more options for flowers and plants than fall and winter. There is also a sale of seeds, garden tools and many garden decorations, along with a lovely and cozy pastry cafe right in the garden. Some plants cost a little more, but they are growing well.

    Yesterday we went there to buy persimmons trees but they didn’t have it. We were told that persimmons tree was rare now. We ended up to buy some flowers. The place is huge. There is lot of parking space with easy access and exit. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a nice cafe inside.

    Absolutely amazing experience. Sasha went above and beyond. I was looking for some cat grass and catmint. After contacting many places in Auckland, Sasha was one of not many who got back to me. Not only did she order some in, but kept me updated with the delivery. I now have a very happy boy and look forward in making some tea. I definitely will be making many more trips to Remuera Palmers, rather than my local. Thank you again Sasha and Aman!

    Love the Palmers Remuera nursery. Purchased a wonderful planter and plant to match. The service was great and the owner gave me a generous discount.

    Lovely store and helpful staff, got what I wanted. Would recommend anyone who can't find what they want just go in there and have a look.

    Hope the garden centre is better than the Cafe which we tried for the first time in ages. Not sure why they decide to stick the pork pie I ordered in the microwave - turned it into an inedible mess.

    What a wonderful visit to Palmers I enjoyed this morning with my young grandson. The staff in the cafe couldn't have been kinder and the person in the seedlings area couldn't have been more helpful. I was bowled over - loved my visit!

    We called in for a takeaway coffee here. Firstly, we couldn't get a chai or an iced coffee as they had none. I ordered a oat latte instead of a chai. When a woman came to give me my oat latte she said here is your soy latte. I said I ordered an oat latte and she argued with me that I didn't order that. When I insisted she stormed off and changed it. Not polite! VERY RUDE! Will never go here again!

    Old lady (probably a manager?) has a bit of racist attitude towards to Asians. I simply asked if there was a smaller size of a plant, and she looked up and down at us and said, "we don't sell it here. Especially to you." and point finger at myself. We used to come here for all our indoor plants, but I don't think I will ever going to come back here.

    My friend and I went to the florist at the side of the garden centre and had a very unpleasant interaction with the florist. She was unhelpful, rude and unpleasant, not to mention the fact she charged a small fortune for a modest bouquet. Wouldn't go back.

  • 5/5 Dora G. 6 months ago on Google
    My 'go to' garden shop. I tend to buy potted colour, herbs and the odd more expensive plant. They're obliging with taking plants to your car. Very popular cafe on site.

  • 5/5 Jimie M. 10 months ago on Google
    Great store. Fully stocked and fantastic staff

  • 5/5 Jack Q. 8 months ago on Google
    Here is the best place to shop my lovely balcony plants

  • 4/5 Dominic T. 6 years ago on Google
    Busy place but found a seat inside. Enjoyed my stuffed kumara for lunch even though the waitress called it kum -ar-a, with the emphasis on the ar! Service was attentive and coffee good too.

    Massive range of plants at Palmers Remuera. Looking forward to planting the new purchases at home. Thanks to Jonathan and the team who were super helpful, highly recommend visiting next time you’re nearby. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

    Forgot what it was like one of the best Palmers Stores ever so much to look at

  • 1/5 lynne s. 4 months ago on Google
    Had lunch at Palmer's cafe Orakei basin today. After enjoying many previous meals there, today was dismal, no niceties, poor waitress coping best she could with delayed and wrong orders. My sausage roll was delivered stone cold, no offer of sauce or relish on ordering, carrot cake delivered no cream or yoghurt. Friend waited 30mins for her order, long after I had finished, so sent it back. Refund was refused as they carried no cash????.. explanation given, it's under new management and only second day. I won't be back

    Waited way too long for a takeaway coffee, which came in their cup. Ran out of time and had to leave having paid for a coffee I didn't get. Slow and a ripoff.

  • 5/5 Mika J. 1 year ago on Google
    Large selection of plants of so many varieties, all the accessories you need and friendly, knowledgeable staff 10/10

    Amazing service (especially from Louise). Delma was friendly and helpful. We were really impressed with everything they did for us.

    Very helpful staff assisting me in buying a plant for my elderly mother residing in rest home (where very little TCL for residents Plants ) THANKYOU - I will be back :))) MERRY CHRISTMAS

  • 5/5 javier y. 1 year ago on Google
    The plant and tree selection is huge and staff are attentive and helpful. The cafe inside is nice and there are a lot of other garden items stocked.

  • 4/5 German Y. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit pricey, but makes it up with the variety of plants offered. Beats Plant Barn for sure in the variety section. Nice cafe with very attentive staff is a bonus.

  • 5/5 Esme M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely centre! Masses of plants and the most amazing food at the Cafe. Love it!

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection and easy layout to find plants, surprisingly priced well for the area its in.

  • 5/5 Margaret F. 4 years ago on Google
    What a lovely sanctuary! Brilliant staff. Excellent carved out pathways for strolling through the garden and accessible to the cafe. Ample carpark and lots to see and treat yourself to the beautiful plants and flowers.

  • 5/5 Nicole V. 5 years ago on Google
    I don't think I spent enough time here today!!! I am absolutely inlove. The drive from Howick to here was well worth it. Such a good range of decor, plants and flowers. That I was on overload. They had a Christmas section chock a block with decor and a choo-choo train!! I came for the succulents and they didn't disappoint. The cactus area was just so well done. Coming back again sometime to update my succulents collection and next time I'll check out the cafe.

    Came here looking for cloning paste and the store does not carry them. To the older gentleman staff who got defensive and impatient when I informed him I’m looking for cloning paste and not rooting hormones, and told me that it doesn’t exist: here it is. Cloning paste contains cytokinins which is not the same as the rooting hormones. Why so defensive?

    I saw a sign for goldfish. That was the only type of fish they had, but I'm happy with them. It is a plant shop after all.

🫤 I used to love to visit this place and come back during the long weekend brunch with my parents. I have no complaint about their food; however, one of reason I loved this place was their hospitality. I changed my mind this time. The waiter and waitress were so rude. They took my coffee order wrong t...

👍 Update: 25/12/2022-I could clearly see a distinctive improvement from my last review. However, there should definitely be more vegan and vegetarian options available.

👍👍 Loved the food and the portion sizes are decent, we had a hard time finishing our meals. The parmesan waffles were really nice and crispy and paired well with the sauces provided. Would definitely visit, if not the Mt Wellington branch, to one of the other branches they have.
