Luxurious coffee, freshly ground and very well made by the talented Baristas. Schoon has a mouthwatering pastry and sweet treat selection, which pairs well with a coffee. I recommend the Pasta de Nata. Everything else on the menu is top notch as well. Their breakfast dishes including eggs are amazing. Plain scrambled eggs on a slice of my choice of their freshly baked bread is as good as it gets - best scrambled eggs I have ever had. It is such a vibey atmosphere, cozy, small, modern ,rustic and great to sit and work on your laptop, have a quick casual meeting, brunch, coffee date. You can sit inside as well as outside, you can also buy take aways and they are on Mr Delivery too! What a blessing. The staff are respectful and professional. The service is great and so are the prices.
Highly professional andexcellent service. Food also very good and extremely tasty. Small but very unusual and interesting menu.
Wonderful little cafe! Their sandwiches are the best, service is always prompt and friendly. Parking is the only downside; there isnt much and you may have to park a block or two away.
Always nice to go there for a good cuppa coffee and great bakery treats.
Thought I would treat myself to an Almond Croissant and very disappointed. Well covered with very nicely toasted almonds but that was all. Heavy and chewy with no almond paste. Next time I will go to Spar Lions Square and get two for the price of one and wont be upset. Pity as your breads are amazing.
Delicious drinks and sandwiches. Friendly service.
I used to go here at least once a week when I still lived in Somerset West. Great food, coffee, and service! Very attentive, too, if I was in a hurry they would serve quickly and if I wanted to chill and read a book they were welcoming of that, too. Lovely little place!
Excellent food. Beautifully presented. Excellent service. Ideal place for breakfast, light lunch.
Amazing bakery in the heart of Somerset West. The staff are always so friendly!
Very small and cosy restaurant, bakery and coffee shop serving an appetizing selection of breakfast and light meal options as well as a waist wrecking array of baked sweet treats. The real gem here is the bread. Schoon bakes a variety of breads that are amongst the very best in the greater Somerset West/Stellenbosch area. Some breads are only available on particular days of the week. Drop in, have coffee and buy bread! Note that they do not accept cash.
Great little place. Seating feels a bit crowded. Service is excellent!
It’s a compulsory Pit Stop. Wonderful food and atmosphere.
Their bread and cakes are delicious 😋! You can enjoy them there or take them home. Look out for their breakfast offers!
They have the best sourdough bread ever! The coffee and chocolate sticks are wonderful too! Friendly staff and cute café.
Awesome vegetarian pizza and great service. Nice strong coffee. A little gem!!!
Tasty pastries. Good breads. Great sandwiches. Small cosy street café. Love it.
Great food..service a little slow but overall good
Incredible selection of breads, and bakes. Coffee is great. Manager not the most friendly towards customers
Nice but a bit pricey. Good quality.
Amazing breakfast and the best coffee ☕ 🍳👍😁
Beautiful place to meet.
The food is always fresh. The tomato compote is the clear winner.
Superb breakfasts and coffee. Of course the bread is fresh, soft and tasty. French toast is not too sweet, and the mascarpone is an excellent addition. The scrambled eggs and bacon on sourdough is also fantastic, loved the sundried tomato on it. Quaint and cosy inside, with a good atmosphere.
Oh dear.I love this place with the most amazing breads 🍞 ❤ and pasteis de nata , only second to speciality pastels de nata shop in Porto, Portugal .
Not happy with my order on Uber eats today. Tiny salad. Will not order again.
The food was great but they had no soft drinks or fruit juice available.
So cool. A quaint place with really great food. (Must try their mielie pap for breakfast.) Rustic finishes. In winter theres a lovely fireplace for cozyness. A great place, summer or winter, for my wife and I to grab a quick breakfast date.
Pleasant little nook. Delicious food!! 😋
Small little place, great coffee, and food. Relaxed atmosphere. Their bread is awesome
The breakfast was flavorful and the coffee was well made. Not a spot for a group over 4.
Food and coffee absolutely excellent. Just a pity we got there too late to enjoy some of the lovely pastries. Sold out everything by 12.30 already! So if you want to go for the joy of a croissant or cronuts....go early people!
In an effort to find something positive to say I would congratulate the Barista for his artistry.Unfortunately for everything else I will avoid this place even when I’m hangry. The service was pathetic. The Covid sanitation protocols are non existent. The food, well presented but nothing to rave over and incredibly expensive. After leaving this place I struggled to understand how they have so many return customers. Is this one of those instances where the high price draws certain people?
Croissants a real disappointment. Was expecting great things, did not live up. Dry and heavy
Lovely breakfast, Fresh baked bread. A must in ssw
What a surprise, best croissant in somerset west
Small and cozy little street front coffee shop. Fresh breads daily! Good coffee. Parking at the back if you cant find parking on the street.
Schoons bread and pastries are absolutely top class. Sadly I was undercharged (which I could rectify) and found extra product in my shopping bag, which I will gladly pay for on my next visit.
Bit small, but good take away coffee
Great stop for breakfast and to enjoy a coffee. Lovely Café!
A little gem that is often forgotten in this area of abundant restaurants and coffee shops. The other advantage for us working folks is that they open at 7 oclock in the morning. We were also not able to order croissants today because of unavailibility. After reading other reviews mentioning this, I was wondering why management doesn t address this stock problem?
Awesome bread and croissants
Great breakfast spot in SSW.
Best coffee ever and cozy atmosphere. Only wish that they would stock up more on rainy days. We were there before 12 and there were no eggs left to have breakfast and no cheesecake. Quite a disappointment.
Loved the sourdough baguette...!
Neat and tidy with a lovely boutique! Lovely space for yoga session.
Great coffee excellent bread and pastries
Excellent service
Small place but wenderful
Everything here is amazing - coffee, breakfast, pasties, bread, eggs, service
Fantastic food and great service!
Sunday before lunch and nothing in the store at all but a rye bread .... Seriously ???
Disappointed in the service and price that you pay for the food that you get.
Unfortunately got the wrong order from the restaurant with Uber Eats. Blamed the driver but couldnt come up with a solution. Second time it happened and manager was unable to resolve the complaint by still deliver the right order and couldnt come up with a simple solution. Terrible service for the second time and last time we will ever use them.
Love their chicken mayo baguette.
Excellent, waiting new store to open in Greenpoint
Always good.
Disappointing, no social distancing!
Love the place.
Best brownies and pasteis de nata! 😍
Staff are always very happy and helpful. The coffee is robust and flavourful. And the breads and pastries are worth the trip. The cronuts are my particular poison. Recently took the corn bread to the west coast. Survived the trip and provided a weekends worth of delightfully delicious breakfasts for myself and the family.
Great pastries, cute little seating area, central location
Very cosy coffee shop with a fireplace. Great for a coffee date/catch up with a close friend. It is very small- I wouldnt suggest it for a group of friends. They have freshly baked breads 🖤 and a very delicious oats! Some unique crockery. Makes for a lovely winter morning breakfast.
Best (strong) cappuccino in town! The ideal kick-start to a Saturday morning shopping spree in Bright Street, Somerset West, Western Cape. The sourdough bread looks, smells and tastes delicious! Breakfast is not too shabby either!!
An extremely disappointing experience. I ordered avo hummus on sourdough, with two medium poached eggs and an almond cappuccino. The waiter forgot the cappuccino, returned 10/15 minutes later to say there is no avo or hummus, and when I finally got my breakfast, the plate was so small it was impossible to eat from, and the eggs cold and so hard I could could have bounced them off the wall. The place would be fantastic if you fix these basic things.
My favorite coffee shop in Somerset West! Love their coffee and sourdough bread. My Sunday morning routine!
Lovely little space for breakfast or to buy a quick pastry or fresh bread. The baker is a Parisian expert in bread making - most definitely the best fresh bread I have had in South Africa.
Always great coffee and the bread is like nothing else you will find in South Africa. Truly world class.
Great food, slow service. I go there often so please be aware that the service is very bad! And triple check your bill! They will try charge you R32 for an extra fried egg. I still enjoy the food, very good bakery :)
Had breakfast there which was lovely, but the coffee was cold. Also took home some pastries - the caramel on my cinnebun was burnt and there were eggshells in my chocolate cheese cake which to be honest didnt really taste like anything. Really disappointed as Ive always loved Schoon. Would think twice before going again.
Delicious baked goods made with carefully selected ingredients.
There is no better place in this town for baked goods. Hands down. Food is great. I go there often. The inconsistency of staff service is what gets me down though. I ordered an almond coffee from them in the week and the milk was clearly off, but the staff insisted it wasnt. The coffee had a horrible sour taste, but instead of just listening to me, and I drink only almond milk for a few years now, they still charged me for it and wouldnt even taste the coffee. They gave me some milk to taste, I told them that it tastes terrible and that it is off. I dont think that the staff ever drink almond milk in any case so they wouldnt know. But instead of just taking it off the bill, even though I go there often and I didnt even drink the coffee, I am a woman so what do I know? Staff were not interested in listening to me.
Lovely, simply lovely
Excellent and will be back soon.😋
Small place with great atmosphere for great coffee. Authentic eats, but little bit pricey. Friendly service.
This is really a lovely addition to Somerset West! The staff are always friendly, their coffee is great and their cakes and tarts are delicious too. Their sourdough bread is also wonderful
Really fresh bread and fruits. The most beautiful view.
A lovely coffee meeting spot, delicious artisan breads and baked goods. Just make sure you come early in the day, as the do not actively fill the available baked goods in the afternoon...firts come, first served
Excellent coffee, pastries and Sourdough.
Had breakfast for the first time at Schoon. Waiter wasnt friendly and forgotten about us. Food arrived eventually but not our hot drinks then when asked it took awhile. Then forgot the milk and sugar. We were not impressed with the service. Disappointed.
Coffee was cold. Had omelette with seeds and veg, however the veg was ice cold. Still tasty though
Great morning coffee and freshly baked bread
Great place great staff great food. As simple is that.🙂
Best Pasteis Ive had! The bread is delicious too!
Cute little coffee shop. Good service! Unfortunately our bacon was very overdone & our scrambled eggs were raw!!!!
Pastries that continue to haunt me in the best possible way! Excellent quality.
