Botanic Café - Cafe in Leonardtown - 22720 Duke St, USA

My favorite St. Mary’s coffee shop ❤️ iced matcha w/ oat and lav cold foam is so good! Plus the breakfast bagel was made to order! The new patio addition is an added bonus :)

I typically have a great experience at Botanic but recently have been disappointed with the serving sizes. Today I got the Stuffed Avocado Salad and the mixed greens to chicken salad ratio was terrible. I had more than half of my chicken salad left when I finished off the mixed greens. If this had been more reasonably priced I would be more understanding but I paid 14.75 for a few bites of mixed greens and a wad of chicken salad. If this is the typical ratio used for this salad I would suggest changing the description so the customer understands the dish is more centered around the chicken or tuna salad and not a traditional salad with the greens being the main ingredient of the dish.

What a cute local cafe!! Great selections of food and drinks. Staff was friendly and easy to ask questions about their various menu items. I tried one of the specialty drinks when I was visiting: the Caddyshack Latte, featuring white chocolate and mint. I also got their BLTA sandwich which by default comes with turkey bacon. I don't eat pork so this was awesome for me! Everything came out in good time and I had a relaxing brunch out with a friend. The inside dining area is small and cozy which feels intimate and comfortable until it gets busy. Then it can feel like you're right on top of other people. They have a super cute outdoor dining area though so it's worth eating outside or getting your order to go during busy times.

As you can see clearly by the ticket, I had ordered the sandwich without the green's. And you can also see they added a TON of green's, more than last time. Had it not taken 20 min for just one paying, I would have requested them make a new one. I have worked in the industry and it is never difficult to red a ticket. They were not busy at all and I counted 4 people in the kitchen and one putting the to go items together. He should have caught it, the last line of quality control, but he also failed. I am not sure I will be returning. UPDATE: I was contacted by the owner and refunded the full amount within a few hours. The service star was changed to reflect the professionalism.

$16+ for a tuna salad sandwich on multigrain, and a bottle of water. Seems a bit much. Was it a good sandwich? Sure. But not like some gourmet-caliber miracle of gastronomy. Nope, just tuna. So the up-charge is hard to justify. If I went to the store and got a can of tuna for 75c and made my own sandwich, it would taste just the same. Because it's tuna, and tuna always tastes the same. So I'll probably do that next time.

The vegetable muffalletta is delicious! The ciabatta bread is so good especiallywith the olive tapenade. I highly recommend this place.

Great menu options for allergy laden folks like myself. Fresh, tasty food. Cute restaurant, nice outdoor space. We will be back! Soon

1st time trying Botanic Deli this afternoon and so happy we stopped! Ordered lunch wonderful chicken salad, very tasty & fresh on an actual Ciabatta roll! Also had BALT, also super fresh and super yum. Brought adorable Halloween cupcakes home for later. Very big portions, I saved half of the chicken salad for tomorrow!! Pumpkin spice latte to complete my experience! So...good! Very friendly staff, everyone wore masks & gloves for these times. Definitely stop by and check them out🎃
