    Lovely setting for a Cafe. Not many gluten free options. Smoothies a bit blah. Coffee ok.

    I recently visited the Palmers garden centre, and I was very impressed with my experience there. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful and well-kept displays of plants and garden decor. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they were happy to answer all of my questions and provide advice on which plants would thrive in my garden. The selection of plants at Palmers was extensive and varied, with a wide range of different species and cultivars available. I was particularly impressed with the selection of native plants, which is something that's important to me when gardening. The quality of the plants was also excellent, and they all looked healthy and well-cared-for. In addition to plants, Palmers garden centre also had a great selection of garden decor and supplies, including tools, fertilizers, and pots. The prices were reasonable, and I felt like I got good value for my money. Overall, I would highly recommend Palmers garden centre to anyone looking for a great garden centre. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, the selection of plants and garden supplies is extensive, and the quality is top-notch. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, you're sure to find something to love at Palmers garden centre.

    Great selection of plants, I hadn’t expected to find the moth orchid I was looking for but came away with two of the little beauties. Great coffee shop. lots of other cool things for the house and garden such as ceramics, decorations, vases, birdfeeders, etc. and I needed anti-fungal for my coffee plant which they helped me to choose with really expert advice. Well stocked great Coffee great staff. Thank you.

    Good food at the café but I pre-ordered a gift only asked for one which was not prewarpped when they said it would be and was charged for two gifts!! Wasn't given a refund or offered one!

    Got these planters on sale (base/trays sourced elsewhere) and absolutely love them! The store has lots of high-end indoor plants. I wish the prices were a bit lower and the stores carried more artistic/unconventional planters :)

    One of my plant store highlights when visiting Auckland. Great selection of indoor plants. Great to see staff actually tending to plants rather than just biffing them in the clearance pile.

    Great place for birthdays. Birthday person gets a free meal and there friends also get 20% off what they buy. Very busy place. Book if you can. Definitely will go back. Plants etc....are a bonus too. Great specials.

    Jenny was really helpful and gave me good advice. She helped me choose a special bereavement gift. Good selection of plants but surprised there were no long carrot seedlings, only the round, stubby kind. The cafe looks great, and another reason to go back.

    Found exactly what I was looking for and more.....Plants are always healthy looking. Checkout area was busy with a few people waiting and another staff member appeared to serve and shorten the que. I was impressed with this great service.

    Has good variety of plants, plus gifts (some on special at the time). We had lunch there (one yummy vegan option for us), and noticed it was dog-friendly.

  • 3/5 Kirsty-lee B. 9 months ago on Google
    Soooo much potential. Coffee is amazing, The setting is beautiful, food cabinet looks good but unfortunately a bit disappointed on the quality of the food (stale scones, then corrected by a fresh scone that was a bit raw inside). The kids play area is literally a magnet for parents with time to kill and money to spend, but unfortunately it's not clean and hasn't been maintained well. If you guys spent a small amount of money on upgrading it, you'd see the return ten fold in customers as there is no where under cover for kids around here...PLEASE invest, you guys have so much potential

    A super garden centre with an impressive range of well-maintained plants. There was a good range of NZ native plants as well as the usual selection you'd expect from a good garden centre. We had a scone and a sensational mocca frappe set amongst the plants too. The quick cafe service was really appreciated.

    Great service. Very helpful with this seasons rose purchases. I had to make some adjustments to my rose purchases and they were very understanding and accommodating.

    All sort of plants, decorations available in store plus cafe is a bonus inside, if you are feeling hungry or a coffee need. ☕

    Lovely plant shop. Always has a good selection of plants and fresh specimens. Lay out is good, cafe food is delightful!

  • 4/5 Kambiz R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cosy place, going in thru flowers and plants, chilling out alongside our friend in the lovely cafe inside the garden. Yummy. The portion was really good, the price was affordable, a bit cold area so our meals turned to cold very soon. But yum.

  • 3/5 Beth 1 year ago on Google
    I love plants & they have a good selection so it's nice to come. However, Palmers is expensive. It's also over priced, as many plants are often root-bound, some very badly, & so are past their best for planting out & may not thrive. Some plants which are very easy & quick to grow from seeds are very expensive. It's a shop for people who don't mind paying a premium for ready color.

    Great place to get rare plants. Bought dragon fruit plants last Friday. Happy gardener here

😠 Ordered delivery, pasta Carbonara, and fish of the day for a birthday treat. Pasta serving was so small, it wasn't even a full meal.. The fish on risotto was overcooked, the risotto was gluggy, it said it had prawns in the risotto, there were 2 small prawns, the fish flavour wasn't good. Disappo...

👍👍 Friendly staff. Nice variety of drink options. The iced matcha was really good and so was the apple crisp it came with. French toast is a nice size for the price and honestly could be shareable. It was delicious too.
