When we arrived there, their waiter said their menu is not updated, so we couldnt get certain items ( vegan items). Portion size is great & quite filling. Food was tasty but the eggplant Parmigiano was very oily as seen on photo. My favorite part about this restaurant is beautiful view of table mountain and delicious cappuccino.Please update your menu and provide more veg options.

They were actually closed already but offered to help us with some cake and coffee which turned out to be very delicious.

Wanted to try this place after seeing it on Somebody Feed Phil. It has lots of delicious treats inside from fresh baked banana bread, croissants and Much more.The food was delicious but served items that were not fresh. Sharing images of the dried out tomatoes. That’s not nice.Also, the problem is with the service which was very slow and we had to check up on the food but no one told is it was taking a while. Wont be running back anytime soon.

Love this little gem. Most amazing view of Table Mountain whilst you sip on their amazing coffee and have a bite to eat. Their food is always delicious, their carrot cake and pasteis de nata is to die for and they have so many great home products and gifts to choose from. Theres so much on offer at this lovely little café.

Cake was great. Pity Im so far out. I wouldve frequently went there

Some items on the menu werent available. A side salad was just a few leaves (rather a garnish than a salad). Coffee wasnt great, smoothies werent great.Wont visit again. Beautiful view of Table Mountain, though. Its a pity.

This establishment is really still like the old Melissas. I used to work at Melissas Du Toitskloof and really enjoyed seeing this one again. However, it was a very quiet Saturday, but the waiter took 30 minutes to take my order and the milkshake was very disappointing, as I know how it should taste because I used to make them myself at Du Toitskloof. Situated perfectly, but needs to work on service.

Entertainer brought us here on 2 occasions, each time hoping things would be better as wasting such a view would be sad. The service is hit and miss, even though the waitresses seem to be trying their best. The food is mediocre, nothing spectacular. Oily slap chips instead of crispy thin fries. Wraps underwhelming. Salmon and poached eggs plain and lacking excitement. As mentioned, the view of table mountain is second to none. Place has good potential, will try it a few more times before giving up.

Staff great, coffee great but food less so, sorry

Super, fresh croissant and coffee. Match made in heaven.

Stunning little gem, gorgeous vegan options. Lovely waitrons.

Wonderful location on the trendy Kloof Street... Food always fresh and amazing.. Service was a bit shakey on this visit (peak breakfast time).. But otherwise its always knowledgeable and speedy.. 🍒

Food and drinks were great! Unfortunately the SERVICE not so much. I have eaten at Peppertree twice and each time the waitress was lacking politeness and friendliness. Everyone has a bad day and thus I understood the first time, but after the second time this definitely effected my support towards Peppertree in the future.It is a waste that such a cute café with great atmosphere is let down by its service.

Not a great experience at all! I ordered the hash browns with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. I understand it’s a Saturday but waited 30 minutes for my food to arrive. When I finally got it there was no bacon or hollandaise sauce. The two reasons I ordered that meal. Everything on the menu is over priced and the portions are embarrassingly small. R28 for a flat white is really pushing it too. There are much better options around steer clear of Melissa’s. It’s a rip-off.

Felt rushed when waiter brought bill before finishing. Juice was really good

Very nice setting and feeling. Good coffee and service. Unfortunately the coffee and hot chocolate came out cold and our eggs were overdone but staff were happy to fix it

Everything took ages, we waited 50 minutes for our food. My friend had a burger and I had the vegan scrambled eggs. Wouldn’t go again since food was not super delicious it missed taste and was too greasy!

Just had time for a bunless vegan burger. Very tasty. Friendly service. Sat on outside deck. One of the best views of Table Mountain in Cape Town.

The best Fruit salad and Granola ever!!

Updated review: Not impressed with the hike in prices. Bold sign outside declares come in and try our new menu!!. Unfortunately the only thing new is the price of the vegan breakfast from R89 to R129.Wait time for 2x breakfasts has been 15min so far and the restaurant is around 20% full.Sorry guys, its been a good run, good views and people, but gonna have to go elsewhere. Im priced out your market :(7 months back: (5 stars)The VX vegan breakfast is a winner. Consistently good and insane value for money in terms of the amount of food you get. 10/10Pictures below from 7 months back.

Nice coffee, and really enjoyed the toasted banana bread

Really good food(I had the vegan scrambled egg), nice view of the mountain.. the service was really slow though and it seemed like it was the same at most of the tables!

Good value for money, great service

To be honest R129 for Tofu scrambled breakfast bit overpriced. Nearly R40 more than for normal breakfast.

My croissant was SO stale. I couldnt event cut it properly. Im attaching a picture of a fresh croissant that my wife ordered and the stale one, which they gave to me. Truly disrespect with the customer. This could be really a 5 star,But unfortunately I cant pay 80 Rands for a yesterdays croissant.

Loved it

Great morning experience here - good food and lovely staff. Many happy returns from me

It seems that the place needs a manager. Quiches and pies are overheated in a microwave oven causing the pastry to become soggy. The staff is friendly.

The Grand breakfast is truly GRAND!!Excellent quality food at affordable price.

Great stop for a bite and some fresh goodies.

Very nice. Dont know what the bad reviews are about. I had a great experience.

Amazing. Food super good. Service super good. Fresh. Nice atmosphere 👌

Absolute disregard for the mandatory requirement to wear masks in public/when serving guests. No sanitation stations visible, menus passed around without any vague attempt at wiping, sanitising. Waiters and front of house physically removed masks when speaking to clients up close - and were offended when requested to please stand back a tad and cover their nose with mask. All this with food and pastries exposed? Wont see me back. Go at your own peril.

Shocking service, bad attitude, no protocol being followed! Arrogant little manager came storming out from his office went on a rampage and attacked a customer when he was questioned why staff are not wearing masks, also pointing out that the one lady was scratching in her ear behind the counter!Toilets dirty, kitchen area have this stench with kitchen staff also not wearing masks. Most of the display product e.g. cakes, croissants, etc just standing open.No sanitizer nor temp checks done.This is a prime example of what should not be done in these times. What a disgrace to the hospitality industry!

Great food great, coffee great but the lady on the floor not friendly and as a server not good eticet , the time we were there it wasnt bussy but counters werent wiped down and previous customers thing just stayed on tables.

Stunning view of the mountain, friendly service, yummy food. Highly recommend the dark chocolate milkshake!

Nice, clean place - service is friendly but *slow* - and the food is okay. Nice buffet.

Hi there,I would like to give Bernard and his lovely team a huge thumbs up for sorting out the music. It was sorted out the next day after I left the review. The atmosphere is great and the place is buzzing.Thank you!Hi thereCould management please look into the music selection in the mornings or in general. There are so many great coffee shop selections available that is suited for a shop like this.The Melissa selection was perfectly suited for a coffee shop and fit in with the overall feel of the shop. (something they got right)At the moment it sounds like I am in a sleazy club in the Med and I am not the only regular who is complaining about this. It has been raised but nothing has changed.Come on guys it is not hard to sort this out. Thanks

Only had coffee, but service good and staff friendly

Beautiful view. Cosy, best service and eggs Benedict is a must!

Delicious food. Lovely environment. Great staff.

Friendly staff and good food. Lovely little cafe for breakfasts.

I got to pick up a decently priced locally made cotton throw after a delicious cup of rooibos cappuccino.

Apart from the great view of Table Mountain from the terrace... Our experience was not that great. Although a few days before Xmas, the service was slow, with apologies... But this coupled with an ice coffee served in a coffee to go cup rather than a glass (excuse was they were too busy!!) Was not what we expected... Hope the next visit will be better than the last !!

Such a lovely café. Great meals and staff.

Looked like a good place. Zero welcome though. Staff member behind the till looked blank when we asked for menus. Sat outside for 15-20min without being acknowledged. Left and spent money somewhere else. Public holiday so pretty busy but maybe extra staff or the till staff could help on the floor instead of being a cardboard cutout. International city with mega money to be made in hospitality. Service/system needs a look at.

Great view of table mountain, WiFi (10Mbits and stable), music choice, and of course food!

Liked the atmosphere

Breakfast Bagel and cappuccino. Awesome.

Entertainer led us to this lovely streetside cafe. The breakfast was delicious. We shared two dishes-the salmon Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and thick salmon on Bavarian brown toast with a delicious hollandaise sauce. The second dish was homemade fruit salad with Greek yogurt, honey and delicious crunchy,nutty granola. The freshly squeezed juice was lovely. It was an intimate setting with quality food and good service. They handled loadshedding so well!

Love Melissas. Staff are friendly and its a great place to go have a coffee with friends. Or a nutella hot chocolate. And great cakes and biscuits to go along with your morning or afternoon tea. They also have great brunch selection and do scrambled eggs surprisingly well. Definitely worth the visit.

Beautiful venue but no service. They totally ignored me. The lady at the till very friendly. Nobody came to take my order. So so dissipointed.

Sublime food and service with a stunning view.

One of my favourite places to visit for breakfast. Friendly atmosphere with delicious a healthy food. They also sell amazing food things in the shop and do an amazing harvest table.

Tasty food. Nice vibe.

Delicious coffee

Very slow service, out of stock of breakfast items during breakfast time. We cancelled the order and decided to go elsewhere.

Excellent flat white - we came all the way from Table View

The food was inedible: chicken pie very salty. Salad thick, dry, awful. Milkshake delicious

Good food and nice and easy location to relax after exploring Capetown. Service generally good, but not excellent ;). We came back twice because we loved the place

Excellent food & service. Probably best hot chocolate I ever had. Love this place

Nice vibe and friendly service

So glad they are only moving and re branding and not closing. Love the shop and products. Awesome that we will still be able to get it all from the new shop.

Good selection of baked goods and deli-type basket fillers. Difficult to justify the high asking price vs. the actual quality of the products/items.

Great atmosphere, food and service. A place to do business or just relax with friends enjoy a meal or beverage. Friendly staff and manager .

Been coming to this place for years on and off, hadnt been for about 6 months and was really disappointed, firstly the vegan scramble that use to be good value went up almost 45% from R89 to R129 and the portion size seemed smaller, tiny amount of avo and scramble.Service was so poor, after sitting, it took someone 10 mins to bring us menus and then we waited almost 40 mins for our food, place wasnt too busy, in that time no one came to check up on us, or ask if we want another coffee or drink. You have to flag down some one to get any help. You could see other tables (mainly outside) experiencing the same service and their frustration trying to get service, as the staff mainly hover inside. This is has been the case on many of previous visits, more often that not.Place has a lot of potential with the location and view of Table Mountain, but you guys desperately need a manager who knows what they are doing to run the restaurant and train/guide the staff. Manager was no where to be seen.

Great little spot, had the best eggs beni ever!! service was on point. would definitely recommend 10/10

New name, same appalling service. Great food and location, but I’ll suggest the manager/owner to be more present.

The best caramel cheesecake Ive tasted in a loo..nnggg time. ;-)

Decent coffee, amazing pies!

This is a great spot for an after-work relax session, especially if you travel to Cape Town city centre from the Southern suburbs (against heavy afternoon traffic). There is somehow always parking, which is mostly a rarity for Cape Town. Other than great magazines and current newspapers to relax with, most importantly, you have WiFi that works. The staff is always friendly and interact serviceably with customers. The coffees (vegan friendly as they offer both almond and soy-milk) and food are on point.But mainly, you can relax with a truly perfect view of Table Mountain.

Love them for their quality ingredients, can tell there is time and effort put into prepping those dishes. Service can be better, often no manager in sight and the staff dont cope too well but the food and drinks are fantastic

Very good

Very nice burger

I’m a regular client of this shop and I have to say that the owner is really either not informed or don’t pay attention to this very important point. How can you have one loo for staff and patrons ??? Lots of people have complained about this yet nothing has been done. Poor show

Lovely place!! Favourite.

Staff all stood in a corner chatting. I had to ask someone for a menu after being seated at my table for 10 minutes. The restaurant was only 50% full. What a pity for such a prime location.

Peppertree Café, the new kid on the block in Kloof Street, so we gave it a try.What a pleasant surprise, a very plesent under roof outside seating area & you can people watch at your hearts content.The coffee & breakfast was amasing as was the charming staff.This venue will see us again, thank to all for a great experience.Kind regardsFerdie Liebenberg

The staff was friendly

It was the perfect place to have a catch up with my girlfriends. Bought lovely items to enjoy at home too

Really nice and relaxed atmosphere. Service is Perfect and the breakfast is delicious and not expensive. I can really recommend it

Best chicken livers. Plus super juices. Had great service too

Not bad , service needs a bit of a polish. Three tables uncleared for about 25 mins. Menus, had to eventually get up and ask for ..

Probably the most disinterested staff in Cape Town. The place is basically self service and no visible management to speak of. A lot of banging of cups and cutlery to add the relaxing Sunday morning vibe.

Nice vibe, easy to pop in for good coffee, cakes, and light meals

Was truly disappointed with the breakfasts we ordered off the menu. The bacon was fatty and limp. My poached eggs arrived hard when I ordered soft. And the toast was cold. I have had better breakfasts at Spur for a fraction of the price. Not happy!

Great vegan food. Excellent coffee.

Took my mom here for a fantastic mothers day breakfast. Delicious food with a great view.

Fresh, tasty food; friendly, efficient service; good coffee. Always maintains the same levels!

Great coffee friendly staff very clean

A very nice store half the way up the hill. The cake is great, and so is the coffee. Magazines lay around for everyone to read, and can also be bought.

Great food and atmosphere. Awesome gifting options.

Best Cheescake in Cape Town!

Beautiful place to pop in for breakfast or relax late afternoon with a treat and a cup of coffee or tea while watching the beautiful view of Table mountain

Impeccable; exquisite ambiance; great food and friendly service

Good brunch place. Service was a little slow but overall a pleasant place.

Excellent coffee, good selection of cakes

Service is a bit slow but good healthy food

Best place to sit down, have some good food and coffee and read! Definitely one of my favorite spots to calm down and enjoy a book!

A lovely spot with a great view of Table MountainMany food options but I tried out the butternut and lentil wrap which was devine and deliciousMy friend and I shared the banana bread which is a big portion but were dissapointed that it was to dry but it was so tastyService was really good!
