Really affordable prices for hearty, filling meals. Almost every day they have a new special thats more delicious than the previous. Honestly a great cafe!

Cosy shop and friendly staff. Great coffee and sweet treats however the food items are not well prepared for take away. The takeaway tramezzini I had was rather disappointing. Rather dine in and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff.

Wonderful, strong, unpretentious coffee at great prices. Visit on a Sunday morning to have the place all to yourself.Feb 2020 update: Flat white is still R25 and good! R39 Rise and Shine breakfast is good value too if youre peckish but not ravenous.

Atmosphere was fine, but the chicken basil pesto sandwich really disappointed me. Small portion, and hardly any chicken at all!

Service was slow, waitress forgot my drinks order. Portion size is amazing, but quality of food could be of a higher standard. I ordered the butternut, feta, avo, cucumber sandwich on rye, bit bland nothing special, but great combination. The chai freezer was really great and refreashing.Will definatly give this resturant another go if Im in the area!

This is a lovely little place. There is a good selection on the menu. Sandwiches, hot meals, cakes and dessert plus delicious breakfasts. Conveniently situated in the mall. It is easily accessible from the lift should you be in a wheelchair. The local pensioners love this place. Young or old, give this place a try.

The coffee shop is relaxed. The waiters are friendly and approachable. I love the way they give attention to old patrons and being patient with them. The coffee is okay. There are other drinks including limited beer.

Waited half an hour for my food only to find out they forgot to put my order through. There were only 3 other tables that were occupied (2 of which had already been served when I got there). Even if they thought I had only ordered a coffee (which is what I was sitting with), no one came to my table for 30 minutes to ask if everything was okay or if I wanted anything else. Not going there again.

Good service and great coffee. If you order your coffee before 8am then you only pay R20 for any standard coffee. The rest of the menu is well priced too. Would definitely recommend for a coffee meeting or light meal.

R35 for bacon and eggs AND coffee before 10am - best breakfast deal in Cape Town! Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere and delicious food. Been coming here almost every week for over two years now.

I really dont know what to say about this place. Service takes way to long. Waiters have no idea what is going on training and waitron meetings need to be implemented. 0 food checks. My filter coffee is the Americano and bad filter really bad my gf being the nice person she is wont let me complain and will pay for that discusting cup of whatever you wana call it. Please dont go there if you are a coffee lover

A lovely little spot. Ive walked past this place for 6 years and today was the first time I popped in. Very nice manager who seated me. Have a decent Americano over ice (R28) and a very tasty egg and mayo sandwich with salad (R26). You also had the option of having it with chips. Free WiFi up to 200 mb and the waitress was super friendly. Definetly worth a stop in.

Review №39

Service was fine and the atmosphere is cosy and social. Just what you want from a coffee shop.However, the flat white coffee was strange in taste, as it tasted like something between burnt sugar, fennel and coffee. The tramezzini was too dry, and the basil pesto was not fresh enough for a sandwich-type dish.

The worst service ever. They dont allow sugar free exchanges and also never give you water as a diabetic cant drink nomal coke. Very enraged. The staff were also very unfriendly with not even a thought to smile.
