Great tea and pastries. The breakfast sandwich is ok but the potatoes are great with it.
There’s teas and fun items to shop around with. There’s a live band on Sundays and lots of space for groups

Just went for the first time. Absolutely delicious food and fun atmosphere. Played a game of Sorry with my kids while eating a fantastic banh mi sandwich. Looking forward to returning.

Love going to the Botanic Gardens, but they don’t have many vegan options. Madame Zuzu’s will be my new go-to place when visiting the gardens. Had a delicious banh mi sandwich (made GF) and my kids enjoyed the nuggets and the Baja fish wrap. If you get the toasted potatoes as a side, the sauce that comes with them is excellent and the desserts are all delicious too. It was also fun to play board games while we ate.
