Oh what a treat! We had a waffle craving and we were not disappointed!! Waffles are just the right size and the Trinchado is definitely to die for !! You can even buy a 1 liter bottle of Trinchado sauce ! Yum! Would definitely visit you again!

If you want to feel the authentic Ballito local coffee / bakery vibe this is the place to go. It’s also a great starting point for a walk along the Ballito promenade and usually buzzing with locals any time of the day 7 days a week.You might be surprised to see tables and chairs outside all around the parking lot but local demand led to it being completely acceptable and it’s a lovely way to experience the local vibe. Bikers, runners and cyclists regularly enjoy Concha as a pit stop and your dog certainly won’t be neglected as people often bring their best friend for a drink after taking them for a walk on the promenade.Besides being a bakery, Concha do some delicious meals as well some pretty amazing breakfasts. Ask Senzo to make you a delicious β€œClean Ice” which is their secret low calorie blended iced black coffee & honey drink - super refreshing after building up a sweat! It looks creamy but I promise you it contains no dairy.

So they have the best tasting Chicken Livers around. Full of flavour and not overly spicey. Would do with a toasted Portuguese roll. But still good flavour. I will return for that sooner than I think. One question though was why the platter still had the Woolworths price tag attached. At least they bought well😏.

Had an omelette, Quite honestly i was confused and wasnt sure what i was eating. the egg had a very thick texture and didnt seem like it was fresh eggs. Possibly egg powder. Really not a good experience.

I love not only their menu, but the fact that you can sit on the pavement across the road. Enough Dog bowls with water for the mans best friend. Very busy in the mornings. Look like the best meeting place for whos who in Balito. The breakfast to big for me, but finished it at home. Love this place.
