Awesome service, friendly staff. - Even with a larger group, there were no issues. Food was reasonably priced and spot on. Fairly busy at the time, but the wait was not huge for food.

Visited the Picnic Cafe last Wednesday. Telephoned, and the very helpful owner Paul happily took our booking and allocated the perfect table in the sun overlooking the beautiful Rose Garden. The food and service were excellent, and would certainly have us coming back as regulars if we lived in Wellington. If we could give the Picnic Cafe and Paul a six we would! Our advice is if you visit the Wellington Botanic Gardens, drop into the Cafe if only to grab a quick refreshment. You won't be disappointed!

Picnic Café - serene bites amidst Nature's Hub. Tucked within the City Botanic Gardens, this bustling spot offers delightful fare and beverages. Popular, especially on weekends, it's a perfect blend of pleasant eats and natural charm.

I love this picnic cafe with a nice view of the park. Perfect place after a long walk in the botanical garden. The passionfruit cheesecake with yoghurt was delicious and the cappuccino was nicely done. Very relaxing place to have a cup of coffee. They also have a full menu for lunch or quick bites like pies and sandwiches. Watch out for the naughty birds because they will eat your food. Nevertheless, they are lovely all lovely and friendly.

Place is lovely and will be beautiful when the roses come out... was a little disappointed with the cleaning aspect of the place, had to send back half the cutlery, and it was lucky that we all had iut own water bottles as the cups didn't look like they had been cleaned at all. The food was lovely. The coffee was strong and their service was smiling.

This is a great Cafe. They are often very busy, but they are extremely well organised. Even though it was fairly full when we got there, ordering didn't take too long, they found us a table and our drinks then meals were served relatively quickly. The food was excellent. And of course, the best part is this is set in lovely botanic gardens.
