This is one of the best places to go when you want a relaxed romantic atmosphere in the evening. The food is amazing - I had the salami platter and homemade sweet potato gnocchi and they did not disappoint at all. The wine bar is very extensive so you will surely find something to your liking. The staff is friendly and very helpful when you need some recommendations.

Amazing little café! We had delicious coffee! The vegan lemon poppy seed cake was a delight. Emmanuel and Sharrol were lovely and kind 🖤

Such a pleasant visit to a beautiful little store. Glyn was super friendly and made me a delicious oat milk latte.

Lovely shop! All the best things in life are under its little roof — coffee, carrot cake, wine and lots of other consciously made products. The staff are so welcoming too!

Very good food. It especially hit the spot after a day of hiking. They were all out of gnocchi, but didn’t hesitate to whip up a fresh batch for my wife. Only took 30 minutes. Near the top of Kloof Street, it’s a good place to start a pub crawl through Kloof and Bree st.

Best chicken pie in Cape Town in my opinion.

A Cape Town gem. They sell iconic Cape Town food and snacks (like Mama Bongi Cookies), make Rosetta coffee and are in a prime position to grab your morning coffee en route to work. Adore.

Quaint little cafe serving great food, wine, craft beer and natural fruit juices - all made locally.

Great coffee & delicious sourdough & treats

Traveling all the way from the United States we weren’t sure what to expect when it came to food, but we’re so glad we stumbled upon T/W! We visited this establishment for breakfast 5 of the 9 days we stayed in Cape Town - you could say we’re obsessed! Their croissant with mashed avo and poached egg is to die for, but really everything on their menu is fantastic. Friendly staff genuinely want you to enjoy your time there. Definitely will visit again during our next stay in Cape Town.

What a great little place with a lot of warmth and great coffee. There is such a good feeling as you walk through the door. You will be easily sidetracked by the delicious baked treats like lemon meringue or rye bread. Walk further and browse the ready cooked meals all perfectly packaged and then grab a tub of ice cream for later. The coffee is best enjoyed at the bus stop. Support local! The entrance is not wheelchair friendly as there is a step up from the pavement.

Nice place to hang out

Great coffee and the best breakfast in town. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a freshly baked croissant.

Great coffee and pastries...great service

Awesome Coffee.

Lovely crossaints

Great coffee and goodies to purchase in store

Great vegan food. super amazing starters!!!the mistress d is super nice and know her winesthey have a small but amazing wine list, featuring even skin contact and natural wines.highly recommended

Best place for your post-hike breakfast. Tamboers Winkel open at 07:00 which is very convenient for early risers.They never disappoint! Great service and amazing food.

Cosy ... with VEGAN options ! 🌱

Superb coffee. Friendly staff

Good food good wine good people

They had amazing gluten free vegan brownies !

Great coffee, friendly service and amazing sourdough loafs

I ordered a GLUTEN FREE meal, asked the waiter twice that there is no flour in the meal. He replied twice that there is no gluten in it and yet I got a normal bread. A big mistake form the waiter but the chef came to apologize and was very understanding of what had happened. More training on gluten free food, very very good customer service!Will still go again to give a second chance!

Nice deli food an freat coffee. Seating is limited.

What a delightful little place with wonderful staff, a small but lovely menu (with excellent vegan options), and warm vibe. An absolute favourite of mine is their Monday night pasta and glass of wine (or any other drink if like me you dont do alcohol). And, dont leave without trying the Farinata (a chickpea omelette) - its an absolute must-have.

One of my favourite places in town. Coffee up there with the best! Super friendly staff too.

Small, cozy cafe with very friendly staff and great coffee. In my opinion, they serve the best coffee in Gardens.

I have been there after their revamp, and they have kept the same charm as before, though with a neater look. The food is as great as it always was. I typically go there for a late breakfast on a Sunday after a big Saturday night out.

Service was slow, staff loud and raucous. The beer bottle that was wrongly served to me unceremoniously closed to be served to the next customer. The food, however, is stupendously good... perfect, freshly baked bread, delectable filo pies. In the whole, I understand why this place has so many good reviews.

A simple little bistro styled cafe, that serves good food and wine. Monday night specials are great value for money

Sharrol has impeccable wines and experience in sharing them. The cheese is world-class. If you go, you don’t regret it!

Cute little place. Kiddies welcome. Inside and outside seating. Breakfast was delicious, although I didnt see bacon on the menu. Nor do they serve milkshakes.

Awesome little coffee shop & deli.

Awesome service, cozy location just up the hill, cool vibes brimming with locals. as for the food, hands-down the best in the neighborhood. the lamb pie is simply to die for. would be hanging out here everyday if I lived here (I can only wish...)

Usually hit-and-miss, but a good place to take a chance on for breakfast if there are no other options around. Service can be non-existent, but when the food eventually arrives it is good enough. Portion sizes and quality has declined since it opened unfortunately. Rather try Manna Epicure around the corner for a better experience.

We loved the vegan breakfast at the Tamboers Winkel. Its the first time weve eaten there and we were pleasantly surprised!

Lovely place. Super friendly lady/waitress

A quaint little restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

Stunning little gem. Well priced wines with superb hospitality. A must for a great local vibe

Very sweet and lovely and the decor is nice, but in a city with as high coffee standard as we have, they cant compete. Its just not very good. Unfortunately I will not go back, its not worth mediocre coffee. Maybe thier wine is better.

Great food. Super friendly staff

Tamboerswinkel is under new management and it shows. The service is great - as is the food. They werent missing ingredients this time either. Nice to see the venue being put to good use.

Amazing host. Made us feel like family! Great relaxed evening out.

This wine bar is super cool and hip. Go for the wine tasting/pairing. Great experience.

Great breakfast + coffee, great staff, great atmosphere.

Enjoyed an excellent wine and cheese pairing, the menu thereafter needs a bit more substance buy was still tasty.

Great Coffee! Good service! Quaint little place

One of the best coffees in town.

What a lovely place! Fantastic hosts, warm vibes great food- thanks

Chose here because we got ignored at Peppertree. Public holiday and clearly understaffed. The guys were honestly trying their best but needed help. Barista was clearing tables and trying to take orders as well as make the coffees. The only other team member had to try be behind the bar as well as the floor and at 1130am it was too much. We never got water for our table or wifi we requested when we ordered. Saw customers leave after waiting a while at the counter. Saw food and drinks sat waiting to be run. Liked the menu, decor and setup but on a busy day they looked to struggle. Great area of Cape Town we love to visit regularly so hope to be back next time.

Fantastic breakfast spot! They have incredible fresh breads available everyday and great coffee. Very affordable and free uncapped wifi.

Vegetarian brekky was so yummy. Service was friendly and quick. Coffee was great. Vibe was relaxed and cool

Excellent service food and coffee. Great for a drink and snack.

Great little neighborhood place with free wine tastings, and the best fresh bread sandwiches. LOVE having it within walking distance!

Monday Pasta/wine special is great!

Great coffee. Small selection of delicious eats. Friendly staff.

Lovely coffee. Nice pies. Friendly service. Wednesday wine tasting is hit or miss

Warm, cosy spot. Food is great and the WiFi is fast. Coffees could be bigger for the price, but they are delicious!

I gotta say. I was slightly frustrated with this places breakfast. Food and Coffee were ok, but service should be better. Ill try again soon to see if there were any improvement.

Good vibe under the mountain. Happy hour 4-6pm

Came here on a Sunday at 1. There was 2 other people in the cafe and the service was still painfully slow. After 30 minutes of waiting for our food, my husband received his pie. After another 10 minutes I went to ask about how my French toast was coming along, to which they had forgotten about it. Super disappointed and will not be back or recommend it.

Great Staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Feels like your grandmothers kitchen.

Tamboerswinkel has been a local favorite for the last 5 years. I am a little biased as I lived across the road during those 5 years. That having been said there are several other options in the vicinity but Tamboerswinkel was always my first choice. It was a meeting place for a quick work meeting or even a evening of wine and gnocchi with friends. The intimate setting makes you feel like your in a farm kitchen. The staff are very friendly and super chilled and the sourdough bread Is a winner to take home.

Had a delicious brunch, the french toast and shakshuka were sooooo yum!! and great service :)

Very fast and good service in a nicely decorated place with good food and coffee

Sweet potato Gnnochi #gnnochì

Great friendly service... food is fresh and great value nice cosy vibe.....love it will be back soon

Great breakfast but terrible waiting staff. We had to get our own menu after sitting for 10 mins without being given one. We needed to prompt for every part of the serving, down to paying.

I’ve always loved tamboerswinkel. Went there with my friends today for some birthday mimosas. The food took soooo long to arrive, had to send one meal back. Drinks were poured inconsistently, 2 of the meals looked so poor and pale and tbh not the best as I’ve had that exact meal there and it was great. Took 30mins to bring us the bill and the take-away meal that we were told would take 15-20mins, in fact took 45 mins.I’m so disappointed 😔

A warm heart on a cold night!

Good food and atmosphere, service could improve.

Really good advice on wine and wine pairing!

Great coffee, homemade jam and friendly service👍🏼

You gotta try it sometimes and see for your self its a nice place to be

Great place for a quick bite. Loved the babotie wrap. Have a look at their wine evenings.

Awesome little breakfast and lunch spot, great coffee and perfect vibe. Lovely outside bench for people watching and relaxing.

Vegan chocolate brownies! 😍

Nice place with good food beut seating & service needs work

Cramped seating environment, and simple things like Coca-Cola isnt served here as they think its unhealthy. Hot coffe comes in drinking glasses... the winkel is a small, strange place

Great food and friendly, attentive staff, will definitely be back!

Currently renovating and serving pastries and coffee from a trailer outside. New owners. Revamp finishes 1 September 2018.

Quaint option for breakfast or lunch. Fairly limited menu but friendly service.

Awesome shop awesome staff especially the girl at the counter

Quirky, different. Good food and coffee, but service was slow

Was told over the phone to make my order another time as the venue was running a function. Oh well. Pick up my takeawayburgers and chips the next day and the staff member I spoke to was a lot nicer this time in oerson. Not one serviette or plastic knife or fork. Nice! Im sure the rent is high at your cramped spot but dont treat customers like they are not welcome. Burgers were tasty and healthy though.

Great place to grab coffee after a weekend morning run.

Used to be authentic and great but that ship has sailed. Cheers.

Great coffee and good food, limited outside seating facing the road. Gets quite noisy when full, but good service even then.

Not great service but good food

Nice coffee

A relaxing and cozy restaurant with fantastic coffee and a creative menu.

Quaint little side street spot. Massive croissants!

Superbly styled coffee shop and the coffee and croissants follows through.

Nice simple food. Completely unpretentious and very friendly staff.

Delicious coffee, yummy food and tucked away from the madness of the city. Great location if youve made it up the hill.

Since new ownership I have stopped visiting this once fab joint. The service is too slow and meals not prepped consistently. Menu is too limited and has not changed in years.

Lovely little place but service is lacking.

Love the coffee and croissant in the morning!
