I just love this place from the easy going atmosphere to the food and drinks. The chicken pesto pizza is so delicious!! The cappuccino and milk tart combo are an absolute winner! I will be back

What a hidden gem! The decor is really nice and modern. The establishment has a nice fresh menu. They also have handmade items that are sold there. Food was good and well presented.

The cappuccino are really good, would definitely recommend. Food was very tasty and a perfect serving portion. The water was very hospitable. Lovely coffee shop.

Very nice coffee shop with good food and friendly service.

As always the Webbers have done it again. Awesome food, good quality, good service and the BEST coffee... I was so excited to eat my wrap (chicken with extra avo and feta, no garnish) that I almost forgot to take a picture. Well done!6 November 2020Ordered the pizza special today. Oh my word! Best pizza ever! Treat your family and make the effort to visit Grassrootz for some pizza!!!

Great coffee, excellent food. You wont be disappointed! Friendly staff too

Nice place to have breakfast. Absolutely fantastic coffee. Love the rustic decor

The staff are friendly helpful. The environment is relaxed and calming. However if they are full service is slow so be prepared to wait. It is definitely worth the visit though!

Excellent venue! They were so kind as to let us have a photoshoot and rearrange some furniture for good photos. Great coffee! Will definitely be back to taste the pizza.

Much better since the new management took over. Service of the waiters is faster and you do not wait so long for your coffee and food anymore ... Definitely an improvement!

Very good local non commercial coffee shop

Lovelly restaurant, relaxing atmosphere. Food is great.

Great independent coffee shop in the heart of Northmead. Staff are friendly and the food is good.

Grassrootz is a beautifully laid out, inviting coffee shop and eatery hidden just down the road from Benoni High, Hoërskool Hans Moore and Benoni Northerns Sports Fields.If youre from one of the surrounding neighbourhoods its a great spot to work when load shedding hits, with ample plug points and, of course, great coffee (large cappuccino R32).The coffee beans are freshly roasted in-house. The focacia and toasted sandwiches are good, and breakfasts are reasonably priced.Ive never been when its overly busy, so service is prompt and most importantly a great alternative to my work from home office even if its just to grab a quick cup of coffee and slice of cake while I wait for the kids to finish school.

I had a hankering for somewhere new on a saturday afternoon, so a close friend recommended Grassrootz to us. I loved the look of the place when we first arrived. Theyre going for that loft style, exposed brick, industrial feel. There was a wood fire pizza oven on full display. My only turn off asthetically was that their office area is on the same floor as the shop, and though they tried to separate the areas with the room divider, it did not achieve what they had hoped. I craved a cuppaccino as soon as we walked in from smelling the coffee wafting around the shop. We ordered a standard cuppaccino and a red cuppaccino. Both were well made with an impressive foam and lovely patterned top. I had their chicken burger and my partner their basil and sundried tomato toastie. Very flavourful both, however the chips were meh, expected something a little more artisanal, perhaps hand cut for eg. Their waiting staff are clearly local teenagers, but their training left something to be desired, we were waited on by 3 different waiters, one of which seemed to have been the barista. We were not checked in on by a manager or owner, who was walking around the back of the store between the office and the barista area, a greeting is something you would expect from a small place like that. One would blame that on a busy coffee shop, however it was also not busy, we were 1 of 3 tables seated. In all the experience was not terrible, however the quality of the food and the prices charged were not quite matching. I would not not go back, but I hope somewhere along the line some things are improved.

I love finding places like this.I’ve had it “bookmarked” for quite some time, but I hardly venture out to the Benoni area these days. Was looking for a breakfast spot nearby Northmead over the weekend as we were in the area and remembered this place. Located next to a church, it is a large space inside, with quirky details to it. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the cakes are eye catching. The Food and Drinks menu are up on the walls, and yes the menu is a bit limited. You need to order and pay at the counter for your order, which at the end of the meal it only dawned on me how do you give a tip? So unless you add it while ordering, which obviously I didn’t, there is a jar on the counter for tips, which is apparently split between all staff at the end of the day/week.The food was delicious, I know with the breakfast options not everyone is a fan of balsamic on their food, but mine was ok, I had the “English muffin one” – 2 Fried Eggs, Bacon, Creamy sauce on an English Muffin. My egg was cooked right, enough Bacon on the muffin, and a tasty sauce. My mom had the “Small One” which is once slice of toast, one egg, bacon, and balsamic tomatoes. My Cappuccino was really good, and the presentation was soo pretty. Loved the cups and saucer used. My mom had the “Real” Strawberry Milkshake, and you could taste the flavour and the consistency was spot on.The cakes are baked daily, and they have a good variety. They had Carrot Cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Brownies, Scones, Cheesecakes which all looked delicious. Prices are pretty reasonable, and the best part, as part of the Church they help support a home in the nearby area, by assisting young kids to learn and grow into adults, and teach them life skills. So this is definitely a place to support as much as you can, and it helps that the food is superb, the cakes are delectable and the staff are so warm and welcoming.Thanks Tozzy for great service with a smile.If you in the area go check the out.#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TheFoodMusketeersDrinks#TheFoodMusketeerApproved#TFMGrassRootz

Grassrootz has an amazing vibe!!! I just love coming here no matter what mood Im in, the place caters for my needs :)

Was looking forward to trying this restaurant it says its open from 7am it was not open at 7.30am when I tried to call they cut my call. Wont be back.

Amazing food and excellent service 🙂, I would definitely go back. Thumbs up fosho 👍

Food was awesome. Service friendly and on point

Lovely, well positioned Cafe.Great food and very tasty Lattes!

Their breakfast is really good, lunch we had toasted bread with fillings, it was really dry and not enough filling. There were also people smoking at the door, the smoke came into to building, for none smokers this isnt great at all.

Lovely meeting place for fantastic coffee and delicious food.

Great food, service and prices

Excellent, quiet spot. Has wifi too!

Friendly service, great atmosphere, the coffee and food was great. Clean and tidy and good parking

Love everything about grassroots, the coffee is delish, the vibe is chill, the food is generous and yum, nice place for any type of meeting!

Lovely place, beat coffee

Simply the best.

This place has been on my list since I first heard about it ages ago. The decor is eclectic with a mix of industrial, hipster and housewife chic. Its all order before you sit so if you pop in do yourself a favour and head straight for the counter - you wont get helped at all otherwise (There are signs). The staff are friendly and helpful although we did wait a bit for our meal.We decided on Grassrootz for an early meeting so it was all about coffee and hot chocolates followed by a light meal. I decided to go for a toasted sandwich - Pastrami, Mozerrela and Onion Marmalade (It comes with a really light summer salad). The menu is simple and its mainly toasted sandwiches and tramezzinis. They also have cake, muffins etc.Everything was great and I will definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu.

Super atmosphere with great pizzas and coffee

Try their Pizzas, you wont be disappointed. Great coffee too!!

Excellent milkshakes and super friendly customer service! One of my favourites spots in Benoni! Such wonderful people and atmosphere!

Waited too long for food so left

Very nice food!!! Friendly Service!!!

Great good, decent working space

Lovely layout and atmosphere.

Stunning coffee and great venue

Awesome variety of foods

Expected better

Great pizza and friendly staff

Lovely, quaint little spot. Perfect for a pot of tea and a toasted sandwich. The menu is very limited and not much for vegans. Cozy and comfortable.

Good afternoon, I received a complimentary voucher from Ekspa after shopping there. My 3 boys and I were thrilled, but were soon that changed after visiting your place. As we drove in we saw the buy 1 burger get 1 free. Although when I try to order the special using the voucher, I was told this was not possible. I kindly pointed out there were no stipulations on the voucher only that it was to be a sit down. Then another boy approached the counter and said that his mother must change these vouchers and took it. The boy serving me then returned the voucher saying they have had someone else trying to the same thing. As I politely said to him, I was not trying to do anything except to use my voucher which did not stipulate anywhere it could only be used on the menu. It is was a disappointing experience to say the least. We left as there was no interest in trying to solve the matter.Staff could have acted in the best interest of the customer and name of the restuarant.

Different touch look and feel but like it. Simple menu makes it easy to decide. Great coffee and close to home from where I can escape from for a while, between guests check out and check in. Let my hair down brunch date

Really enjoy Grassrootz. It has a fantastic atmosphere and I enjoying working there. Great spot to chill and get work done.

Love the decor and laid back vibe. Great menu too

Will never go there again . The manager is very unprofessional and rude

A good place to share with friends. Good coffee and cake. A rustic old school look is warm and inviting.

The service is a bit slow, but the food was tasty. The staff made an effort to compensate us with a free drink each, for our order that got misplaced, resulting in waiting tine. A laid back atmosphere- perfect for a bit of unwinding

Love it here! Wish they where open on weekends. Food is wonderful 🍻

Food is excellent quality. Prepared freshso there is a bit of a wait. Dont go there if you in s hurry. Its a lazy kuier place.

Great food

Great coffee. Thank you Sam and Christian for the excellent service!

Loved the decor and the soft jazz music. My carrot, ginger and pineapple smoothie was delish. Will be back as I have found a great place to bring my laptop and work while in a chilled environment. Like the cost lounge idea too.

Great place, however, we could not order the smoothies we wanted because they (restaurant) did not have all the ingredients. Didnt eat anything as yet, just had milkshakes...One milkshake was on point with the said flavour, the other one a bit mediocre.

Quaint coffee shop with amazing service. Food was good. Simple but elegant menu with toasted sandwiches, tramazinis and breakfast. I definately recommend it.

Nice laidback atmosphere. Milk tart is divine

What a quaint place to meet up for coffee after work

Lovely ambiance, free Wifi. Small but lovely menu. Not your usual fast food restaurant. Something of a European culture.

Love spending these special nights with God & my awesome friends 🌷

Friendly staff. Very helpful and pleasant. Food was delicious, especially the freshly made doughnuts! The only complaint was my tremazzini was a little dry once my salad was finished. Decor a little stark - perhaps more comfortable in summer. Would definitely go back

Great environment

Always a pleasure going there, service top notch and food very good...

Ordered breakfast at work this morning amazing tasty and fresh. I will definitely order or visit again

Great food, great vibe and very good value for money........ Awesome coffee

Loved the food. Restful atmosphere

Terrible service, if you can call it service. Waited for over 15 minutes and one bothered to serve me. If they were busy I would understand. But there was only three people in the restaurant including me. Got up and left.

Must say there food is tasty and friendly staff.

Affordable breakfast. Nice and quiet

A very nice coffee shop with a nice warm feeling. Coffee is great and the staff are very friendly

Like the idea but been here twice now and both times the food has been bland. First i had the chicken one and recently the cheese and bacon tramezzini but I could have made a better one at home. It is literally just a tramezzini with grated cheese and some bacon, not even presented properly . The place is still sort of new but It has potential.

Best cappuccino in benoni but dont be in rush if they busy.

Nice place. Amazing food.

Great coffee and breakfast, will definitely be back on a regular basis, thank you!

We had a babyshower there. It was very nice. The venue organised all the food, it was seriously amazing. They served platters of food with cheese boards, fruit platters and sweet platters for dessert. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have an intimate party with nice vibe. The place is nice and cosy . I would go back.

Great food at a great price. Coffee is top class.

Lovely breakfast. Turkish Delight milkshake to die for

What a amazing place with great meals and friendly service

Fantastic coffee. Great space to work and drink in peace.

Really love the place and the food is great but so disappointed in the kid’s area. Toys are all over the place and very dirty and dusty. Would actually rather there wasnt a kid’s area as I try to keep my baby away from there which is quite difficult.Otherwise good service 👌🏻

Awesome vibe awesome food

A really great place to eat at and visit

It has a good atmosphere and the staff and food is really good.

Decor and service is average but the food and atmosphere is always pleasant.

Fantastic.. Good service and food.

Great place to visit, very laid back, great atmosphere and food.

Great coffee & cheesecake. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

Love this place they offer the best food and it is real value for your money.

Nice peaceful vibe and great coffee

Very rustic and so warm atmosphere

Calm, relaxing environment for pleasure and work

Great pit stop for our morning run!

Nice food, smoothies and drinks clever menu. Had to wait quite a while for our order and then they forgot some of the meals only down fall.

Love. Great vibe, lovely atmosphere, wonderful team, good food, desserts are lit!

Friendly, helpful staff and a quaint venue.

A lovely venue and we will be back. Just disappointing service.
