Absolutely love the ambience. A nice relaxed breakfast with good food. Love the gluten-free options! 😁
The orange juice is fresh, and the coffee cups are adorable. If youd like a trendy spot in the centre of Somerset West, then Id recommend Babettes.
Excellent service, very good coffee and pastries.A lot of gluten free and vegan served here.Lovely warm fire on cold days.What a great find.
Always a lovely experiencing. The courtyard is full of the happiest plants and has a magical, tranquil vibe, for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the town.All produce is of the highest quality, sourced with care, and the food is delicious.Amazing gluten-free alternatives available.I keep going back for the rose geranium cordial on hot days, and the tasty gluten-free, buckwheat muffin.
Great atmosphere with good food, nice baked goods.
Very disappointing experience. Cheesecake was dry. The kitchen staff and managers had no masks on. Only the waiter. I love supporting local, but policy must be followed.
Don’t order the breakfast. Expensive for the low quality food and small quantity. I had a BLT that was a cheap hamburger bun, small pieces of bacon, tomato slice, some avo, and a thin layer of sauce. The pictures add more than you get. Not worth what I paid for at all. Not worth eating there again. Maybe the cake is good.
Friendly staff awesome menu reasonable price
Very nice Americano coffee
I like this place actually went a few times, however would not recommend as on my last visit my friend and I were chatting spent about an hour there (we had ordered both coffee and something to eat ) and then were very rudely asked to leave by the owner because she needed the table. She just slapped the bill down on our table and said I need this table, if you want to chat you can sit outside.*I was at the Andries Pretorius street / St James on the 28th of October around 9:30 ish
I love the attention to the quality ingredients, variety and freshness. Service is always excellent. Health is a issue these days and I can say with confidence this restaurant owner is very fussy with her kitchen. Very loyal staff... That says a lot
Very nice little place
Excellent friendlyservice, lovely delicious food, and coffee
Nice and clean.Food good.
Cozy, lovely breakfast spot. They have a fireplace inside and provide blankets for guests in winter. Surrounded by a few interesting shops.Best feature: The half-decent Banting bread/Gluten free, which is hard to come by.Downside: Not open on Sundays!Please thumbs up if you found this review helpful :)
Great service. Wonderful food. The atmosphere is really nice. Would definitely recommend this as a place out for lunch or a breakfast. Had one of the best chocolate cakes. Definitely worth a try.
Looking for a no- wheat, non dairy, banting or just really healthy eating this is the best option in Somerset West. Staff very friendly and helpful. Forms part of a small art shop- nice for browsing and birthday shopping at Carol Boyes counter. Overall a lovely experience.
We had lunch over the festive season at Chelsea Cafe, also known amongst the locals as Chelsea House. They have moved their business down the street into Gallery 91 and have a beautiful private garden.We are happy to report that everything is still the same. We had our favourites that is the Halloumi salad and Lamb curry with delicious apple cake and their famous Banting Berry cheesecake as desert. The service is still friendly and the coffee good as always.
We were a large group. The food was delicious and the service very good and discreet. Will recommend this Restaurant.
Ordered a ham, cheese and tomato farm loaf toastie which was very overpriced for what I got - there was nothing special about it and also no side. The cake was OK and also very expensive. The vibe and atmosphere are great though and its a cosy spot to meet friends.
Great little find - good food, gluten free options - fresh juices etc. The day we visited for breakfast, it was very busy - my only complaint is that when busy, they can be very slow - took over an hour to get our breakfast. Overall, a place well worth a revisit.Revised:I have revisited the coffee shop, and the owner apologised to me personally - they had an unusually busy time over Christmas due to all other establishments in the area being closed. I am extreme me satisfied with the service today - and happy to report the service and food is outstanding.
Great food and awesome decore with a happy comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Beautiful outside area. Much larger than before. Deluxe coffee not as great as I remember it from the original shop in Cape Town. But the carrot cake was divine.
Loved the outside seating area with plants all around. The service was, good and we really enjoyed our meal.
Lovely ambience. Nice food and good service. Lovely courtyard with boutique style shops.
Lovely setting, very cozy inside. Beautiful and tasty food, as well as having banting and vegetarian options and most importantly lactose free milk options! Which is extremely appreciated.Waitresses always attentive and friendly.
Waited 15min for a take-away coffee. Left cause there was no one on the machine and staff yelling at each other. No thanksIn response - the address for Gallery 91 and Chelsea Cafe is the same on Google maps - 91 Andries Pretorius Street?? The place I went to was called Chelsea Cafe... and it was at this address so....??????
Such a cute space with a really calming outdoor area - service was a little bit slow but the food was so tasty and of high quality. overall a good experience.
Lovely setting and friendly staff. Amazing coffee and vegan options. Try their lentil and basil pesto open sandwich, amazing!
Good coffee and lovely outside garden area. The carrot cake is good. Service was great.
Love the place, friendly staff great food and all those healthy tasty new age breads! Interesting art and craft gallery to
Lovely place. Interesting to browse the art for sale. Was surprised by the variety on the menu. Food and drinks were good.
The best coffee in Somerset West. This restaurant has moved down the road from Chelsea village into a more beautiful setting at Frames and Things, with a lovely garden setting where you can enjoy a glass of your favourite wine as well. The old favorites, plus a few new additions on the menu makes for a great breakfast or lunch .Lovely friendly efficient staff, in a beautiful setting .
Cannot recommend Chelsea highly enough. Our favourite in Somerset West. Great for a light lunch or just a coffee. Staff brilliant.
The artworks are stunning, Im glad I got to see them today with my class!!
Very good, surprised them with a large group of tennis girls to an already busy restaurant they jumped around and made our visit very comfortable, service was good too!
Wonderful! Just what I needed to replenish after a long day.
Excellent set-up. Wil come back.
Tranquil and rejuvenating. Quality food at fair prices. Friendly staff. Will go back again and again
Nice relaxing environment. Good food. Gluten intolerant and banting options on menu. Delicious flourless chocolate cake. Interesting shops in complex.
Very nice vibe. But we arrived at the busiest time of the day. The staff was not capable of handling such a rush hour.
Good service. Great potential but not up to the standards of the cafe trend in terms of decor or food.
Love the new spot. Together with the art all around, its a very relaxing spot.
Love the garden setting. Best fresh salads Ive had in a long time.
Nice outing, sitting in the garden and enjoy nice cup of coffee and cheese sandwich
Friendly staff and delicious variety of foods and textures for the Sunday buffet lunch in a almost garden atmosphere
Great coffee and cakes. Relaxed vibe. Has outdoors seating which is splendid. Cosy fireplace indoors.
My favourite breakfast experience.Amazing food friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a must to visit.
Great setting and wonderful meal. Lovely shops to browse and brilliant jeweler in the Centre x
Lovely atmosphere. A hidden gem. Good menu and fairly priced.
Had a birthday voucher. Beautiful setting. Delicious burger.
Overpriced and really slow service, once I finally received my order it was incorrect and the portion was smaller than a snack portion..as this had been recommended it was a disappointing visit. Wont be returning with all the choice of really good coffee shops and resturants in the area.
Poor coffee on par with poor serviceI had a business coffee here today, the coffee is acrid and the machines clearly need a service. My waitress was no where to be found forgot things I ordered and was generally inattentive. I was never offered a drink.I also had the eggs Benedict which made me sad. White bread is no substitute for an English muffin and the hollandaise was cold... Probably came out a jar.Will be avoiding this place in future
Service is usually good, coffee is good and the cakes are great. They also do a great lettuce wrap.
Good food, good service, nice hot stove.
Lovely setting outside in the court yard. Great service and interesting bakes
Hard to find if following Google maps. Also a bit expensive on the food, considering that they want you to pay just over R30 to add chips to any meal. No wonder you see people drink coffees mostly, but the coffee was excellent and so was the service.
The coffee and service is always good! Went with my young grandson and our waiter treated him with such care and affection! Thank you!
Nice coffee. Friendly people. Nice vibe
Coffee is very good, breakfast not so great but acceptable.
Great vibe with a great menu. Lots of boutique type shops around the coffee shop to shop in
Beautifully decorated and very good food. I do miss the previous locations outside seating though
Such a great spot with food of the highest quality made with care
Always friendly, warm & enjoyable. One of the few places that serve offal.
Always pleasant to sit in the courtyard for a breakfast and fair priced.
Incredibly good sushi for 3 of us. Will be back.
Good coffee, quality food, in a new premises, set amongst beautiful art on display.
