What a great lil spot to stop off for a beer 🍺 after a day of exploring and shopping! Great service πŸ‘! Comfy lil table outside where you are able to watch passersby. Waiter immediately new to bring an ashtray (loved it,hate asking). Even offered me the Wi-Fi when he saw that I was busy on the phone. Big thumbs up!

What a vibe! Always something happening in Greenmarket square, live music and other street performers. Free walking tours and people from all over the world passing by constantly. With a front row seat at Cafe Sante, take it all in while having lunch...

Ideal location, centrally located on a busy square and watch for dance and music social events like Sol Luna, a regular Afro Latin party.

Had the chicken Kebab with salad,was excellently prepared and I could taste the fresh local ingredients. There is an amazing atmosphere with kids and other.cultural acts constantly performing. Service was good and waiter was helpful with assisting me by charging my phone. Definitely worth visiting Cafe Sante to experience the true African Experience with a Mediterranean twist

To start the service was very good. We got our drinks very fast placed our food order only to be told they have no chicken for chicken salad. The ordered pizza arrived about half an hour later. The pizza was finished eaten and the rest of the salads had not arrived yet.Β  We couldnt wait anymore and asked for the bill. Then only the waiter came and said the salad is long ago ready he will bring it. Not acceptable that food has to wait so long to be fetched and 1 from 4 people already finished their food. On the bill a 10% gratuity was included and a space for a tip. That is not acceptable.

I honestly dont even know how this place got a 4.2 star rating because wow, this has to be the worst service Ive ever gotten and I thought maybe the food I wouldve been served would make up for that, but I guess I was wrong.Firstly, I walked in, there was no one at the door to greet or seat me and I had to wait like 5 or 6 minutes before I even got a menu.Secondly, I ordered a chocolate milkshake and this had to be the absolute worst milkshake I have ever had the displeasure of ordering. I regret the sip that I took. The waitress still tried to convince me it was okay, but I mean yooo even Nesquik wouldve been better. When I sent it back to the bar, one of the managers still told the waitress its not his problem. Talk about great customer service lol. Decided to order an Appletizer and it turned out that was out of stock, so I played it safe and went for a tap water on the rocks.Lastly, the lasagne I ordered was disgustingly overpriced for what I received. R92 for a 15x5cm block of what had to be the sorriest excuse of a treasured Italian delicacy with a little garnish on the side, are you mad? Now I decided to give it a try because looks arent everything only to discover that it was cold. You guys couldnt even reheat the food properly? No man.Anyway, I did not a damn pay for the food and I hope no one else experiences what I went through at this trash establishment.

The Mojito is heavenly. The margarita is unbalanced in flavor. Get the Mojito.

Once I come to Capetown for a visit from time to time, I have Cappuccino in the CafΓ© SantΓ© . The service is more than friendly and the coffee excellent. Really nice location and perfect for taking a break.

We had 2 beers for refreshment at an outdoor table today. Very tasty - but there was no glass. The service was quiet, there is still potential. The fauspax was that more tip was collected than expected. Well ...
