Came in the morning and was kinda meh, seems from the review lunch might be better (after 12pm) Food was subpar They don’t charge service charge here but prices of things are like what you expect at a nice cafe after their service charge so made me think why I didn’t go to prive instead though they are also overpriced, at least I could sit in aircon and a nicer environment with silverware. Food is served all with disposable plates and utensils which aren’t environment friendly. Staff here are nice and not unfriendly so I guess that’s 2 stars plus place is clean My sister thinks the playlist here is good but she’s a gen Z that listens to tik tok songs so you make the call.

The food is great and has different selections. I was not disappointed when I ordered a creamy mushroom alfredo pasta, a bolognese pasta, and their beef burger. The dining area was alfresco, and the ambiance was relxed. Recommended for tourists, staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Kudos!

Hugely disappointed. Much preferred weekend 10am Brunch at Halia where I used to take my parents for Saturday brunch. It was so much better in terms of food we got to enjoy berries yogurt, salmon, beef spaghetti and coffee in a pot. Cutleries back then at Brunch Halia were stainless steel. While the opposite is true today at Halia only do lunch from 12noon onwards and then dinner. Halia pantry brunch menu is very limited, worse than Prive. And the cutleries were all disposable. Definitely would not return for a second visit. If you want to enjoy breakfast or brunch at Botanic Gardens I would definitely recommend you to go Prive instead of Halia Pantry.

Food is fresh and well made, price is decent considering the are and no gst and service charge. Portion is just right, staff is also friendly and inviting. ordered the sweet pastry and beef burger, beef burger's patty and bun is extremely crispy-fied on the outside, soft and juicy in the inside very tasty 😋, sweet pastry is also super delicious. Very filling, total cost about 33 sgd for a 2 full meals. Definitely will come back again if possible. Tho would be better if it's air-conditioned but it's definitely worth the price

Hearty breakfast is nice but it would be better with air con. Creamy eggs, nicely roasted bread, tomatoes are juicy and mushroom sautéed nicely.

I must say that I'm quite disappointed with the food in this place, seems like there's no salt added at all and the dishes all had a very bland taste. We ordered pastas, pizzas and the hamburger -- all failed to impress. However, the restaurant is clean and tidy, and located in a cozy atmosphere in the heart of the Botanical Gardens, so plus points for that!

The ordering app shows ice chocolate $7.8 photo is a tall glass with ice chocolate and few cubes of ice. I thought to myself what do you expect it’s botanic garden of cos the price tag of $7.8 is justified. But when the drink came it was a small little paper cup full of ice and probably only about 100ml of chocolate drink inside. My jaw dropped on the floor. This is downright unethical for a business to charge $7.8 for such a tiny amount of chocolate drink. Then the pastry was too cold for our liking so I asked the staff if can she heat it up in the oven for us, she proceeded to explain to me how and why the pastry should be room temperature. I said chill miss can you heat it up for us? Then she heat up on microwave for us because she said oven is too full. Won’t come back , complete rip off and unethical in my opinion.

For a touristy area, please up the standard or else it's just a shame. Overpriced croissant at $5 and did not even bother to heat up. Came on a rainy day and ate cold food. Taste was also ordinary like from an average bakery shop. Ordered iced mocha and no coffee taste/ chocolate taste and instead tasted very milky. Either the shop goes, or the customers go

Don’t buy coffee here. I bought a cappuccino. You get a tiny cup that is not even full and it tastes horrible. Just wasted 6.5$.

Food is a bit on the pricy side, and be aware that there is limited seating in the air conditioned section.

Visited on a really hot day whilst in the Botanical Gardens. Initially looking for somewhere to get a beverage we saw a dine in restaurant, this wasn’t really appropriate for our needs at the time. Luckily we literally looked around and came across this small establishment, which was almost opposite the entrance for the orchid garden entrance. Basic hot and cold drinks and snacks and not over priced. It was staffed by a very friendly lady who made the latte fresh for my wife. It was only $5 which we thought was fairly priced. Good point is there are plenty of benches near and so if you don’t require a dine in experience but require a hot/cold beverage and/or snack or ice cream, it’s worth a visit.
