Highly recommend Dinkel Bakery if you need to order in bulk for events. Service was exceptional, with fresh delivery every morning over a 3 day event. Pretzels arrived hot and fresh :)

We always love coming to Dinkel Bakery. Cain always goes out of his way to help customers, and is great at advising on ingredients and alternative options if something is not available or suitable. The freshly pressed orange juice is delicious, and we love the cappuccinos and the Laugenbrezeln. Thank you for the great service.

Thank you Dinkel Bakery, especially Kane, for being such awesome neighbours. I really appreciate the coffee you brought me while locked inside because of covid. Thank you so so much.

First we phoned to find out if they served scones and that its not only a Bakery but provides sit down too. Confirmed, all good and we are on our way. Arrived half an hour later. Love the ambiance although a bit tired and in need of a dusting. The guy on duty(same guy on phone) today, September 11th, wow...aggressive! I wasnt 100% sure what we did to make him so upset because we had just stepped inside...My wife excitedly asked about the scones with cream, cheese and jam. I never said we had scones! But we phoned to confirm...No we dont have scons, he said again. Ok, my wife said, clearly a misunderstanding. We saw the breads and enquired about sourdough bread. Then he aggressively proceeded to educate us on sourdough bread and if we knew what it was since the baked it with a combination of Rye. He became even more derogatory and impatient. The place only had 3 guests. Mid sentence he asked me to put my mask back on as he turned to serve now other people that walked in, wearing no masks!This place must have something else going on that gives them 4 stars, but the service.... not good. We left. Luckily Kloofnek is literally lettered with exciting quaint Restaurants. We ended up at Baccinis. 5☆s

Breath of fresh air on Kloof street. Homely, welcoming and warm atmosphere with quaint and quirky decor. Personal family business service with delicious deli and traditional bakery delicatessen. Dont forget the secret back garden and up stairs book shop for a treat. Magic little escape gem

Cute cafe, but just paid 44 Zar for 2 pretzels and 2 kaiser rolls. Same quality pretzels available at Spar (Cape Quarter) and Hartlief Deli for less.

Quite charming and cozy little place! Ideal for breakfast or for a small lunch on a cold wintery day. Nevertheless, service could be friendlier. Round of the woodie edges of Mr. Waiter would be more than necessary!!!

Not a pleasant experience. I will definitely not be going back. WOW, where to start..?The food came almost 1hr after ordering. No apology, no coming to inform us as to what was happening.When the food arrived, the bread was rock hard and needed hacking to get it into chewable size.The eggs were over cooked and lacked flavour.The apples of the pancakes were still hard.So disappointed in the experience. Will definitely not be going back

Dinkel bakery is a charming little gem of a place. The sweet smell of cookies greet you when you enter through the doors and you are immediately transported to a cosy little German kitchen.If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be the Dinkel Bakery Hot Dog! It is amazing. The service is very good and the staff is very welcoming. I would recommend a visit to this place to anyone!

My partner and I popped in here on a chilly August morning while on holiday in Cape Town. Weve been learning German (but we are still too shy to actually try speak it).This little bakery is absolutely lovely! Its so quaint and filled with interesting objects. Its warm and welcoming. Very comfortable.We both had a Cappuccino. which was really good. Wonderful for the chilly weather. I had the Pumpkin soup, which was amazing (and I am not usually a soup lover, but this was sooo good! I now need that soup in my life!). My partner had the Munich breakfast, which he loved.We also ordered some baked goodies to take away for a snack later on.Everything was great, The food was delicious, fresh and well prepared.The staff and owners are so friendly and helpful! Definitely a place I would visit again.

Went there on a Saturday morning for breakfast. If it wasnt for the space , Id have rated 5 stars. Everything else was on point, from the ordering of food and the time it takes to be prepared and how on point the waiter was and also how reasonably priced their meals are. I had a pretzel sandwich and this is by far the best pretzel roll I have tasted in South Africa , it took my taste buds back to my time in Germany. There are options of ordering take away or seat in but if its your first time there Id recommend seating in even for a cup of coffee and admire the art and the vintage decor in the bakery. Id definitely go back again especially for the sandwich.

Quaint, authentic and cosy little German bakery with a couple of tables inside and in a beautiful courtyard where they serve fabulous coffee and their freshly baked fare. Dinkel is German for spelt: hence the fantastic suprise of finding hot from the oven, wheat free croissants here - made from spelt!

It is very sad that the girl behind the counter doesnt know that spelt is a kind of WHEAT, nor that it CONTAINS GLUTEN! She argued that it isnt wheat and that its gluten free. She should really not work in a bakery!

Totally lovingly furnished bakery with café and - if you need it - sales of German products on the 1st floor. Very tasty topped pretzel stick with cheese, cucumber and eggs, very good-looking pretzels and a very tasty crumble cake. Extremely nice and courteous service. For on-site consumption or take away. Chance hit, but very worth it! Wish you a pleasant day and bye. Splendid.

Review №98

In itself a great cute bakery. Nice selection and the things offered are good. The pretzel sticks dont taste like in Bavaria, but they are ok.What a huge disappointment and absolute cheek was that the local employee wanted to pull me over the table behind the counter. Instead of the bill of 214 rand, he wanted 540. The prices for the goods were nowhere to be found. After paying, I checked the bill outside the door. Amount: 214 rand. Back at the store, he said I only gave him 240 rand, which he put on the table for me. Which would have been too much in itself. After knowing exactly which notes I had given him and not all of these notes were in the cash register, I knew that he would put 3 of my hundred-rand notes in his own pocket.The German young colleague, who was now present, came after a short discussion. After my explanation, she assured me that she would sort it out and get in touch with me.After three more visits and no message from an employee, I asked the employee for my money back, which he gave me without hesitation.It is incredible that the moment of trust is used in this way. I was amazed at the high price, but didnt want to make the employee so suspicious.The indifference of the woman in the shop is an absolute cheek. Never heard anything.
