What a gem!Stopped for lunch and had the lamb pie with chips. Really good food, beautifully decorated and the coffee was amazing!They have a spot for your pets if youd like them to stretch their legs during a long drive.I can also recommend the cakes ;)

Such a quaint little spot near Three Sisters. The coffee shop stocks freshly ground coffee, coke zero, coke, water, snacks, cake, biscuits, and a few easy meals. There is great indoor and outdoor seating, with beautiful views of the “Whistling Bridge” as well as a few cute Alpaca 🦙. There’s also a small jungle gym and swings for children to enjoy. We stopped here in summer and it was 38 degree’s Celsius - good old Karoo heat! Oh!!! Very importantly, they have clean bathrooms 👌 Below are some pictures of this lovely place!

The Cafe definately has potential but still needs some fine tuning.Food order took much longer than anticipated so you may want to opt for take away coffee if you’re in a hurry.Cake was good. Roosterkoek was tasty although not crisp on the outside likely due to microwave heating 😏

Their claim of world famous coffee is not far off. The coffee and cheesecake was very good and the historic blockhouse and whistling bridge is something to experience.

Lamb pies are rich and meaty, the way I like it. Coffee was good, but a pre warmed cup wouldve made my rating a five star

GREAT COFFEEDELICIOUS CARROT MUFFINS -the way granny makes them and FRESHLY PREPARED, SCRUMPTIOUS FOOD!Give the Shell one stop in 3 Sisters a miss, and rather pull in here. The coffee is really good, the food freshly prepared and tasty, ( we had the breakfast wraps and grabbed some lamb pies for the road,which were the BEST GODDAM PIES I have had in a LOOOONG time) and the ablutions here are also beautifully appointed. Service with a smile, and Kelly is such an awesome host too!You can make yourself comfortable on the couch or enjoy the sunshine and fresh air outside. The kids can feed the llamas - ask Mario or Jimmy for some pellets, and theres a jungle gym for the little bodies to play on.A welcomed little oasis between Colesburg and Beaufort West that you cant afford to miss! Closed on Mondays, but as for the rest of the time, they are open. (If theres loadshedding in the area they probably wont be open though but you can call ahead and check if they are.)
