The Market at Botanic - Opelika, Alabama

THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME. The staff was super friendly and helpful, shootout to Elliott, and the atmosphere was amazing. I've never been to somewhere where the resturant/cafe itself is a garden and it was quite the surreal experience.

Onto the thing that matters the most, though, the food! I was here for lunch, so the menu wasn't as extensive as the dinner one. However, what I got hit the spot. First, I started off with a specialty coffee and orange roll (I know eating dessert first), and it was delicious 🙌. Second, I had soup with the grown-up grilled cheese, which filled me up surprisingly.

Overall a 10/10 will make the 4 hour drive again.

Besides from all of the interesting plants that they have to offer, they also have this lovely small coffee shop that has a bakery section and mini fresh produce area. They have a wide selection of locally produced produce from honey to coffee beans to fresh tomatoes to already made pies! Which all of them look so good. A little pricey but they all look so good and I bet they do taste good.

The customer service was alright, it had taken a moment to be finally helped out. I don’t know if they were judging me by what I was wearing (I was wearing my workout clothes) or they caught a case of the “Thursday blues”. Definitely was not cool at any part of the experience but i hope next time they’re not as judgmental.

I had ordered the Fruit tart and a mocha which both of them were very good. I highly recommend getting the fruit tart if it in stock.

Overall my visit was good. Not great but good and alright.

This place was absolutely gorgeous. We tried sitting in the main restaurant but we were a party of 8 and they wouldn't seat a larger than a party of 8. So we opted to go to the market, which is the back portion. Absolutely, beautiful place. There's an array of breakfast, quiches and desserts, rolls, pies, and so on. I opted for the buffalo chixken bread. Which was basically a piece of home cooked bread with Buffalo, chicken spread and cheese over. We're heat it up. It was good, nothing special but not bad. My wife and daughter opted for the chicken salad and they thought they were goos.

For dessert, I got a piece of apple pie. It was absolutely phenomenal. The best part of the meal was to pie, but for $10 a slice, it should be bigger than it was.

Very nice and cozy hidden gem in a great atmosphere.
Espresso is very good and the cheese sausage puff excellent.
A big recommendation.
Further the restaurant looks really rebooting as well. We will absolutely try...

I’ve been watching the construction of Botanic every day since conception as I pass by going to and from my office. There are no words for how beautiful and amazing it is!! It is such a unique concept! We went this morning for coffee, pastries and quiche. Absolutely delicious! Have yet to try the Patio Bar that opens at noon and serves charcuterie boards with your adult beverage. Live music at night. The Grille is reservation only in the evenings. You could literally hang out all day. And they do have a Sunday Brunch which is next on my list! Gorgeous plants everywhere!! Pretty Garden Shoppe as well!! Roosters roaming! Sweet doggie chillin’! Oh and fireplaces everywhere. And they’re not even finished building their dream. Even more to come. I can’t say enough about how absolutely breathtaking it is and feels like you’ve stepped into a storybook ❤️
