Delicious coffee with a fantastic view of the sea. If there had been vegan/vegetarian options I would give the place an easy 5 stars. Not even soy milk as an option.

We arrived quite late and had to rush off to the airport but the owner, very pleasantly and rather quickly, made us an amazing little platter. Great service. Excellent food. Good coffee. I will definitely be back. 👍🏼

Yesterday i tried out the pulled chicken, bacon, and feta chicken and it was a disaster. For the price of R95 you get a very small burger bun, 1 lettuce, bacon and chicken mayo. For that price I was expecting a little bit more, something like a mountain but instead I got an afterthought, a kiddies sandwich. In the COVID-19 times i know that we have to write our own names but I was surprised that we had to take our own temperature, unsupervised. Not safe bro.

Our experience we had this morning was terrible. The cafe is very clean and neat, however the food was bad. The Quesadilla we ordered was very thin, burned all the way through with a bitter after taste. The Gourmet pulled chicken with bacon and feta was actually chicken mayonnaise on the bun with hardly any feta.Our waitress wisk the plates away without asking if we want a doggy bag with the left over food on the plate nor did she asked if we enjoyed our food. During covid-19 I would think restaurants would give their clients a better experience as it is very expensive to eat out.

Fantastic setting with picturesque views. A short walk via boardwalk takes you to bats cave where the oldest human footprints were found. The reef Café offers a large breakfast selection and nice burgers and baskets for lunch. Enjoy an iced cold beer.

Review №58

Lovely outing even though the weather didnt allow us to see the view. The museum next door helped pass the time between ordering and eating. Only negative was the lack of childrens options - really only toasted sandwiches.

Friendly service. Descent food. Lovely nestled between the bushes. Nice airflow from the ocean. Clean restrooms. It would need some renovation but then the charme may be gone?

De
Review №62

Great milk shake and muffins. Really the best and you sit looking out to the ocean - always a blessing as it calms me. Then a walk across the dunes on the board walk to walk off what you just ate. Just what the doctor ordered.

Had a lovely late afternoon lunch with the kids and man. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their milkshakes and my niece even finished her toastie, chips and salad _ this rarely / never happens. She says its her favourite place. Views are breath taking, after the meal we enjoyed the boardwalk all around to reef side and up to the parking lot again. So fun !

Not too bad but not that great either. (Do not know how to reply so I will add to my review). Waited about 5min if not more to be helped. Then staff did not know what a Rock Shandy was. Felt that staff did not really wanted to work that day.
