What a great selection of goodies. Every neighborhood needs a good bakery and this one has been doing just that for years.To drink we had a white and dark hot chocolate that was not very hot. I think this might have been because it was for children. My cappuccino was hot.Then to go with our drinks I was advised to try the specialty cronuts. Half donut half croissant. We had chai tea, chocolate, peanut butter and orange. They were very tasty but are basically decadent donuts. The star of the show at this bakery for me has to be the pasties de nate. They are delicious. I paid R50 for 6 small ones.The next time I visit I will try the pies and freshly baked breads.

Went there for the first time last week. Bought a bagel which isnt that wonderful. Bought some rusks on bakery counter. They not fresh. Went Saturday Bought 2 more packets. Not fresh. Bought eclairette twins. Weird taste . Cost 45.00 I assumed they will be Devine. Disappointed. Wont be going there any time soon ....I guess their items you need to have an acquired taste

Nice little bakery. They also have a small restaurant and sell a range of imported products, deli meats and cheeses etc.We had a burger and Mexican burrito, they were decent but nothing special. I expected the potato wedges to be better.Obviously their speciality is the bakery side. We had a croissant and cronut and they were fantastic!Unfortunately, I was expecting to get a filled croissant but got a plain one instead because because they were not labeled correctly which is a bit disappointing. The staff could have been more cheerful and helpful as well.Will definitely be back to try more bakery treats and will update this review.

Nice Bakery and Coffee Shop. Nice assortment of Pastries and Cakes. They do not keep a big assortment of Gluten free products. They are not cheap, but the food is good as well. Parking is a bit of a pfoblem.

The last time I was there I went for a coffee, they made the coffee in a take away cup without actually telling me that the shop was going to close in 5 minutes so I couldnt sit down. The staff can be more personable and communicative.
