Had breakfast at the The Smiling Oven Cafe, very nice spacious restaurant, fast, friendly and efficient service with unbelievable value for money and delicious food.Not to mention all the other treats on offer from the bakery.Do yourself a favor and try them out for yourself

Best cheesecake! Great oxtail, but sometimes portions are a bit small! (However, management rectified). Friendly service, special menus for pensioners, e.g. reduced prices for combo meals like cake & coffee etc. Meals and cakes etc can be bought to take home also.

Bakery with a difference. From Coffee with light meals to fantastic fresh platter selections to take away and mouth watering baked goods. One of the best milk tarts you will ever taste.

Tasty treats even my critical mother approved of! Lovely baked milk tarts, pies, cookies and meals. Platters offer a range of treats and always made with care and tasty. Who doesnt love a smiling oven?

What a find! I stumbled across this place when visiting the amazing butcher shop (Joeys) next door.They have amazing baked goods from cakes, tarts, pastry dishes, vetkoek and many more. Their take away pies are very popular. We had the sausage roll, bobotie and pepper steak. All were freshly baked, very tasty, filling and high quality.The cafe seems cozy and definitely very popular, although we didnt visit that part so cant comment on service.The staff at the bakery were very friendly and helpful. The ladies at the tills are a bit stiff and seemed bored with the customers, but that didnt detract from my experience as they certainly were not rude. A great place to get your home baked goods. Highly recommended.Please like the review (thumbs up icon below) if you found it useful!

It has the best milktarts around. Nothing comes close to it. The pastry is fresh and crispy, and the milktart mixture is light and fluffy, with a beautiful creamy texture.Oh yes and they have a wonderful selection of other cakes, tarts, Pines and saviourys delights on offer.Not to forget that they have a little tea room to enjoy your cake.This is a place where you can have your cake and eat it.

Delicious cocktail savouries and sweets make up the perfect platters for a birthday or a workshop. Smiling Oven also has whole pies, quiches, tarts and cakes for order or on the shelf to buy.Location is in the heart of Somerset West so unless you are in the area it is too far to get there.They have a sit down cafe inside where you can enjoy their goodies over tea and coffee.

A great place to meet an old friend. The atmosphere is peaceful and the menu is fair. Specially catering for retirees is also a nice touch. And, of course, the sweet tooth section you can stroll through. Love this place.
