Coco Safar as an establishment, is an absolute master piece.The staff are wonderful, from the service staff to the chefs, who take the time to interact personally with the guests.The food is beautifully thought out and executed. Everything was sublime in taste and texture.We will certainly be back.

Nourished my soul this morning at this incredible café! Coffee and croissants were truly too-die-for...I have never had such a delicious croissant in my life before! The waiters outfits are also a lovely touch that adds to the overall ambience.

The worlds best croissant they say. I agree. A phenomenal croissant it is. The different types of croissants on offer include the basic butter, chocolate, pistachio but to name a few. The take out section is very convenient should you wish to grab a quick one on the go. Their sit down offers a unique experience to visit. Whilst there, Try their coffee too!

Best French toast Ive ever had, with a lovely surprise on the bananas! If you love French toast youll love this. Their chocolate croissants also have a delicious surprise inside. The ambiance and decor is top notch. The iced Viennese coffee is delicious and makes you want more. The staff are super friendly. This is well worth it.

We had the first class high tea, but calling it a high tea is unfair. The food is on another level than any other high tea I have experienced.It looks fantastic, but more than that, it tastes better than it looks. All of the combinations work really well and the presentation and service is excellent.Every should experience this at least once.

I was honestly blown away by the level of service received. The food and coffee is on another level.Lets not even speak of their speciality croissants... I promise you, its a gift sent from the heavens. You will not be disappointed.

First time I had risotto and omg the other people at my table wished they ordered it too. Thank you for being halal and amazing. Took a lemon meringue croissant home - definitely the highlight.The second time I went, we tried some desserts. Basil Mango is more of an acquired taste and each dessert coming with the same biscuit crumble - its a bit much

Review №20

Tried the almond, pistachios & white chocolate, and hazelnut croissants. My favorite was the hazelnut. The filling is hazelnut butter and the chocolate on the outside complements it. The almond croissant itself was amazing but the almond extract in the filling wasnt pleasant at all for personally.I ordered a mocha and surprisingly it was the worst drink Ive ever had. It tasted like water. But I complained and they took it back and returned my moneyI am going back for sure to try their breakfast menu and the creme brulee croissant, but never ordering any drinks from them.Update:They asked for my info to contact me. They didnt.I went back to try all the rest of their croissants. I also tried their breakfast. And gave their drinks a second chance.I was so excited for the french toast but it tasted very eggy. The croissant Benedict was exceptional. Every components of this plate was perfect. The place was busy & the service was slow and a bit lacking. Their drinks are still below average.I recommend coco safar for their croissants only because they truly have the best croissants. But everything else is not worth it.My favorite croissants are the original, Hazelnuts (Perfect, Nutty, chocolaty and crunchy), Churros ( the tres leches custard filling is dreamy), Pistachio & white chocolate, and apple. The rest were good as well but I dont recommend the creme brulee it was very bad and the sticky bun was dry.

Home to two of the best croissants in the world.The almond croissant was voted the best in the world. The  crispy, flaky croissant is generously topped with toasted flaked almonds and filled with almond paste. Your plate and your clothes should be covered in crumbly flakes when you bite into this buttery folded masterpiece.Apart from the award winning croissants there close cousins come in a variety of flavors to keep you coming back for more.The next one to cross my lips will be pasteis de nata style croissant.To accompany these little gems is the house blend coffee.The micro-roasted specially selected beans are roasted on the premises guaranteeing freshness and superior quality.By simply looking at the coffee machine you immediately realize that it was crafted by a specialist. The Spirit Idrocompresso is a world first, commissioned and hand built in Holland by leading commercial espresso machine designer Kees van der Weston.The coffee, tea and gelato tasting is masterfully orchestrated by Lorna who patiently took you through a journey of flavors and tastes.To compliment the luxurious setting in the restaurant is a staff compliment who strive to provide you as a customer with an experience second to none. A special thank you to Precious, Megan and Willhelm for adding to the memorable experience.

Review №27

This place is very nice, but the food disappointed. The coffee was average, the eggs benedict was ok, and the hazelnut croissant was great. We ordered two eggs benedict and only got one, but after trying it we decided not to order another and go someplace else afterwards.The ambience is amazing and the presentation is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit, but there is much better value for money elsewhere.

This place is all about the coffees (and teas) and pastries! Delicious selection of incredible sweet stuff to suit all palates. Their savory menu is also worth a look and their brunches are both healthy and tasty. A great spot to “work from home”.

I went to Coco Safar last week for the Dessert Bar Experience. Oh, wow! And what an incredible experience it was! A 10 course service paired with drinks... You would think, 10 desserts must be too sugary... Not at all! And I dont have a sweet tooth. Every dish was marvellous, and the drinks... Ah! They take you on a culinary tour around the world, with all its different flavours and textures. I didnt take many photos as I wanted to be present during the experience, but I wish I did. Here are a few. I highly recommend everyone tries it, it is truly a journey beyond ordinary. Thank you!!!

We had a costumed cake specially made for our daughter’s birthday which turned out to be the dream come true. We just told them the kind of flavors we wanted and they went beyond expectations, the cake not only looked amazing, but everyone at the party said it was the best cake they had ever tried. Plus they delivered very carefully. This cake was the star of the day. Thank you Coco Safar, no doubt; best patisserie in Cape Town!

Take some time to explore a burst of flavors, tingling your taste buds at Coco Safar. The vibe is great, the aesthetic sets the mood...I took my girlfriend here for a coffee an some sweet stuff. We tried the new Columbian Coffee and the house favorite and some chocolate brownies. Quick tip to myself here, first order the sweet stuff an then the coffee hehe, coz then youll have coffee to balance out the sweet stuff😊. Note that theres a time limit, so book your table. Coco Safar is a breakfast Lunch type of place, and not a dinner place... they close at 18h00, an the kitchen closes at 17h300.

We haven’t been to Coco Safar since before lockdown so you can imagine how happy when we were when we saw that they were running a lunch special (sadly, it’s ends today, 10 January 2021).We started our journey with our favorites: flat whites with their signature Madelines which are an absolute favorite.The starter was a piece of sourdough with goats cheese, apple and maple syrup. It was superb.For mains, my hubby had the burger and I had the halloumi salad. Both were really tasty.We also decided to have juice as well as we were feeling a little dehydrated. It was really tasty too.For the desserts, my hubby had the mango passion dessert and I had the berry guava one.Ultimately, it was a phenomenal experience. Covid protocols were strictly followed as well.

Review №43

Although Coco Safar has incredibly delicious pictures of their food and a great variety, I have found that other than their breakfast/bakery foods, the taste was lacking. The rating would have been higher because I definitely thought their croissants were delicious and the bread too, but the last two times I have ordered, there hasnt been a consistency. The first time, the croissants were actually flat, and the feedback was not taken well. Recently, I ordered brioche buns and the size is different and they seem to not have risen completely. Overall quite disappointing.

We had a five star experience and was treated with exceptional service. We had to takeaway some of their treats for the family at home. Everything was done with precise attention to detail and you savoured every bite to prolong the taste sensation. Love it and cant wait to meet up with friends there after lockdown.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of the main road in Sea Point and enter the sanctuary of Coco Safar. The bespoke interior speaks of elegance and style. The service from the staff is absolutely delightful. Space is designed to provide for private dining experiences within the larger restaurant area. An experience one needs to have every now and again. The food items were beautifully presented. Our hot cross bun became a perfect pairing for our white wine.

Great experience, the food was lovely and the dessert was amazing. Staff are really attentive without being overbearing. The coffee is truly delicious.We got invited for a coffee tasting after our meal to the capsule emporium. There we were introduced to coffees from around the world, but I have to say that the biggest surprise was the Kaapstad Rooibos Maple tea and the Stellenbosch green Rooibos tea. Both were outstanding and the gentleman doing the presentation made the whole experience very informative and a treat. Thank you and we will definitely be back again.

Such a must go to in Sea Point, fresh feel and look. They did such a great job on their food. They pay close attention to everything. The pour over coffee didn’t taste the greatest, prefer Origins or Espresso Lab. The staff weren’t very friendly. Go check it out maybe you’ll love it.

This place is next level, food is OFF THE CHARTS, the savory stuff is next level (like the eggs Benedict in a croissant with lamb bacon... just saying) and then the sweets stuff, is like the stuff you see on TV, that don’t just look amazing but are fantastic tasting. Then there is there interesting tea brewing bar area, it’s like a full flavor experience to to there, TOP TOP place, 5 star didn’t do them justice 🥐🌰🍰🧁🍬

If I could I would give them 6* as this Luxurious Cafe has all the elements. Beautiful, peaceful and warm atmosphere you cannot find a more gracefully put together restaurant.The décor is simply out of this world next generation and the food is so amazing. Well plated and portioned leaves you not to want to dismantle the time, effort and beauty that goes into every meal.Set in the heart of Sea Point on the main road it makes a glorious ocean drive to get there, which is breath taking. World class Baristas with coffee art that will blow your mind and the friendliness and professionalize staff are very welcoming indeed.So wait no more and treat yourself to this amazing venue. COCO SAFAR SEA POINT. The world can learn from them.....FOLLOW ME on Facebook @CHEFGAVINBRUYNS or @FOODY HOT SPOTS & NOTS for more great places and recipes. Coco Safar - HOT SPOT

What an amazing experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Went for afternoon tea, the ambience is lovely. The decor makes you feel like you have been transported to an elegant olde world cafe. Greeted by friendly, professional staff. We booked ahead which was not required although I think in non-COVID times it would be necessary. We all had the Very Berry Ice Tea which was prepared freshly for the whole table. I loved it. Two of the table had Churros with Salted Caramel Sauce which went down well, large portion with a generous amount of sauce. One order of Chocolate Mousse Cake. It in the shape of a coffee been, so beautifully presented and tasted delicious too. We also had a Key Lime Pie which was perfect down to the tiniest detail. The addition of a delicate slice of candied lime topped it off. The perfect afternoon, would highly recommend to anyone looking for upscale cafe with spectacular dessert offerings.

My second visit, this time for breakfast. Beautiful space with the most attentive waiters Ive ever seen in South Africa. In a country where waitrons do the bare minimum this place stands out with their exquisite staff!! Very friendly, the waiters work together checking up on you if you look like you need something. I will be coming back again and again bringing more people to experience this place.The food is delicious and plated well on gorgeous dishes. Even the single use serviettes are of quality and detail.The first time I went here was for a friends birthday. They made her feel so special treating her to luxurious Chocolat and cocktails.Stunning place a must see when in Cape Town

Coco Safar is definitely a nice place to go and chill and have a coffee and dessert with friends.Just be sure to check the ingredients of the desserts you choose as some of them are interesting and are an acquired taste.We had the Honey, Lemon and Chocolate as well as the Blueberry Cheesecake, this was definitely not the normal Blueberry Cheesecake I was expecting to taste.Nevertheless the Dark Hot Chocolate was very nice and the atmosphere was great for a relaxing place with excellent service.
