A different and a new experience for my lady, son and I on 26/09/2021. Amazing atmosphere, the Sunday lunch buffet was full of wonderful surprises 4 the tongue. The hosts were welcoming πŸ™πŸ½, my son busy patting the animals and ducks☺. Thank you Coffee Talks an experience worth repeating, coming back soon soon.

A fantastic place to visit with a good friend or family. A lovely open country life feel with ducks swimming in the pond and there is always something new to see. This is the only place in Bloemfontein where my husband and I can unwind and get away from the busy city life. Strong coffee and freshly baked goods. It’s a real treat! Just look up their business hours before you decide to visit as they do differ.

Hidden gem! Had a lovely time... even though it was a public holiday and the menu options were limited... the food we ordered was really good. Fast service and interesting choices. The lemon meringue and brownies was out of this world!

This is probably one of the most beautiful coffee shops I’ve been too. The coffee was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the salted caramel latte. Gorgeous, family run establishment in a tranquil setting. 100% would recommend.

This place made me feel like I visited the past in the future. It has a very tranquil scenery. It is friendly to children and it is a very nice place to escape to when the traffic of life gets under your skin. There are farm animals around, board games and other activities a family can take part in. There is also a facility for sleeping over.

This is a special place to visit with a peaceful and tranquil ambiance set in beautiful gardens with a dam and ponds. We went in winter and were greated with a wonderful crackling fire to keep warm.We were surprised to get given the best coffee in SA, Mastertons, an artisan micro roastery from Port Elizabeth. So the coffee served is top class and superb.The food is also top class and super tasty, based on a mediterranean kitchen menu with swarmas, falafel and the like. The breakfast swarmas were to die for.The service was fast and very friendly that is very much family run style.I would highly recommend a visit to this coffee shop for the best coffee, tastiest food and a really relaxing ambiance.

Found by accident and I would say is the best accidental place Ive come across. Its a hidden gem of a place and can only be found by recommendation. Buffets are served on Sundays for breakfast and lunch. Owner and their staff are the most friendliest folks running the place. Highly recommended to come with friends and family for a lovely time to eat, bond and for the children to run around barefoot.

We have visited Bloemfontein many times but unfortunately only on Saturdays when the cafe is closed. Thankfully, we found ourselves here on Tuesday and couldnt have been more pleased. The food was delicious, the space comfortable and the owner present. Not only present but engaging and interesting. I will make it a point to make it back here and recommend anyone who visits Bloemfontein do the same.

What do you call a coffee shop that looks like this? Pure Gold. In my own simple words, its a Farm like - Family - Casual - Unwind zone. They get their coffee from #mastertons @ PE. Its truly a great place to visit.

Absolutely the most cutest place to go to in Bloemfontein. Sunday is buffet day and what amazing food with a view. Sit down anywhere and look onto the veg garden and now especially that it rained so much is full of life. Only good things to say about this place, making it a regular place to go. Very welcoming and great place to bond with special people.

Coffee Talks is an awesome place to relax and have an amazing cup of coffee or bite to eat. There is not a wide variety of food, which I prefer, as there is a lot of attention that goes into the food they do offer, the flavours are amazing and makes me want to come back for more!! There is a lot of shade in the garden, so you can sit outside or inside. Keep in mind that there are no card facilities available, but you can pay with cash, zapper, snap scan or EFT. Will definitely be back!!!!

CoffeeTalks is my favourite coffee shop in Bloemfontein. Run by a creative and passionate family the establishment boasts a variety of projects woven together to create what is called CoffeeTalks. Some of these projects include having a fresh produce market, having a recycling station and running a charity shop alongside running a coffee shop and cafe. The kitchen has a diverse menu of Jewish cuisine as well as a few standard options. Their coffee is brilliant. All the books fulling the bookshelves, art supplies and records aren’t for decor. Guests are welcome to use the workshop and purchase any supplies they may need. On the shelves you will find a variety of resources for gardening, holistic living and diy building. CoffeeTalks also runs events that they post about on their Facebook page. Thanks for your fantastic work. I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do next.

Not a good first experience,asked for a waiter to take my oder, 1hr later (he didnt come) I went to the till and waited at the till standing for over 30min while the guy who was supposed to help me unapologetically chat to the customer in front of me. Until they were called out by someone else (who was with the customer) and still he didnt even apologize, I guess some customers are insignificant to them and disqualified to be treated normally.

CoffeeTalks Cafe is a wonderful spot to enjoy good conversation and even better coffee. The establishment has a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and the staff is always kind- cracking jokes every now and then to maintain the light hearted atmosphere.Besides stellar and affordable coffee, the establishment has many natural, sustainably harvested ingredients for sale, including vegetables, starch products and bottled goods.Outside the cafe, clients can be seated in a large open grass plane with complementary outside seating. Enjoying a cup of coffee outside offers a peaceful experience that few other establishments can, with ducks and dogs alike walking about and complete silence filling the air.Ive visited CoffeeTalks Cafe three times already and I have no intention of stopping. I highly recommend a visit as soon as possible!

Great place for relaxing with friends and doing waste-free shopping. Just remember to take cash if you dont use banking apps - they do not use a card machine. The place is kid-friendly and the food is really good.Also, please note, they are closed on Saturdays and Mondays.

We were looking for a nice place to have lunch and we were lucky to discover The Coffee Talks Cafe. It is such a lovely and peaceful place with lots of different places to chill in the shade. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. And the food is delicious. It was the best shawarma we have ever had ! The shakshuka and the falafels were delightful too !

Review β„–75

Really lovely calm relaxing place to spend a sunday. Owner is really friendly and eco-conscious. The breakfast buffet was really good and the coffee even better. My only suggestion would be to improve on directions when you enter the building, it seems like you have been lost in a maze, and then you find the quant coffee shop.Owner also sells GMO free fresh produce! Would recommend this stop anyday.

Very interesting place. Looked like a family run business. A bit awkward, though, the staff were sitting around, talking. No one said hallo or be right with you or seat yourself. Also, the path to the restaurant goes through a maze, theres no proper directions to show you the way. It is way behind the building. Definitely a new experience for me.

Its been over a year since we arrived late at night just looking for a safe place to stay on our way from Cape town to Mozambique.Weve been welcomed with in a way youd never expect from strangers and even though I often think about the special peacefulness of this place and wish I could come back for a few hours every now and then, I never took the time to say thank you.It was like the only thing missing to create a perfect moment was a Bob Dylan song to describe it...until you put on an lp and it was Bob Dylan❀Wish we couldve stayed longer...

A very relaxing place for the whole family to relax whilst the kids play. You can spend the whole afternoon there and loose track of time. They also run a charity thrift stor so you can donate items there or buy whats on offer.

We were looking for somewhere (different) to have breakfast on our way back from the coast en route to Johannesburg. Coffee Talks is really a delightful place - extremely pretty, quaint and peaceful. The owners/staff are very helpful and friendly and the breakfast offering very different and tasty. The prices are VERY attractive and we enjoyed our short stay. Definitely a MUST for locals or travellers!!
