This was from my third visit to Botanic cafe and I can't say enough great things about this local coffee shop. The location is next to a ton of local businesses and brings something truly artisan to Leonardtown. I am a vegetarian and am never disappointed by their rotating options and delicious staples. The coffee is the best in town. They have creative options and classics and they are all well made.I will say this is not a fast service spot - and for the quality you are just fooling yourself if you expect it to be. The warm interior and pastry case offer plenty to enjoy while you wait. Please give this local business a try next time you are in the area.
Another Opinion
$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.

Excellent food. Inside seating is a bit small, but otherwise everything is excellent!

Cute little spot with a lot of food and drinks! We came in for some coffee and a late breakfast. Loved all of the seasonal drink offerings! We got the pumpkin cinnabun shaken espresso and blueberry maple waffle latte, both really great coffee drinks! To eat we got the breakfast sandwich and Turkey, apple havarti cheese sandwich, both sandwiches were also tasty! The service from the three staff members we interacted with was great! Everyone was very friendly and really cared about the quality of drinks/ food they were making. We've already made plans to come back tomorrow before we leave to grab a smoothie and a muffin!
Nice place, tiny, but lively. Had a delicious almond iced latte

The best grilled cheese and tomato soup I've ever had, the hibiscus lemonade was good too but very sour (which I like) If only the place was bigger because it sure was packed!!!

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.
Latte and sandwich was very good. I'll go back again soon.
