Wow. I found this place.😍 😎Tables on the street side. Fabulous.Staff Valentine is kind. Coffee also good.

I didnt know that this cafe existed - stumbled upon it by accident on Google Maps, looking for a lunch cafe in Illovo.When I say I have been going here almost weekly - its not an exaggeration.Really lovely cafe, gorgeous atmosphere and outdoor dining.Welcoming host and staff and the food is DELICIOUS. I was pretty shocked, honestly. Everything is well-cooked, seasoned, fresh, and lovely.Highly recommend giving this place a try - you wont be disappointed.Wish they were open later, for after-work drinks, but you cant have everything.

Definitely a great place for a quick bite or two, to have a drink. Perfectly situated to accommodate the offices surrounding. All food made in house which says a lot about the freshness of the food you eating. Will make sure to enjoy this one in the future!

The restaurant was very nice and secured, I really enjoyed the food that day from tea to supper, they have good taste😋😋😋🍲🍲☕☕

Ordered gluten free pancakes & coffee here. It was delicious! Beautiful setting, too.

Great staff, good food, fresh juices and coffee

Food good and well presented. Ambience airy and relaxed. Service personal and familiar with your individual taste after a few drop ins. Always a pleasure even for a quick meal or take away sandwich.

We come here all the time because we love it so much. The layout is amazing, super open an airy but also warm and comforting. The coffee is fantastic. The food is amazing and all such good value for money. Great quality, great variety, unique, and hearty portions as well.It’s also a nice work space in the mornings 😊

Brilliant place for a business lunch or meeting. Quiet and in the open. Highly recommend this place if you want to be quiet!

I love their coffee👌

It was great! The coffee was fantastic, the portions of food were big, tasty and well presented. I loved the fact that it wasnt in a stuffy mall and that it is independent. Staff attentive and friendly, and a hands on manager. Definitely worth a go.... dont tell everyone 😋 dont want it to get too busy!

Great vibe and the coffee is fantastic

Best service...great food, especially the croissants

Dope place for a good coffee, really enjoyed the outside area. The staff were accommodating and thoughtful. I would highly recommend the Cafe Mocha and the pastries are also really dope!

Such a quaint romantic place with good healthy delicacies.....

Fabulous and fresh food

Lovely food. Pocket friendly prices! Try the hot white chocolate! Absolutely lovely!!

Great menu with something for everyone. Food is yummy and prices are affordable. Awesome setting outside on a quiet street. Definitely a new fav!

Delicious coffee, great food, big portion sizes, very friendly staff and manager.We work here a few times a week and the setting is just grate ;) big open windows and comfy couches make it ideal for sitting for long periods

Great for a quick coffee and a small bite between meetings.

Great place for a morning kick start to your day...

Pleasant atmosphere. I only had coffee but service was great

Great food. Friendly and efficient service. Awesome place with a good vibe.

It is a place to he at ...wonderfull service and great view.

A nice little coffee shop in an island in the road. Really pleasant garden-y atmosphere and a good selection. Good place to have a meeting or coffee. I didnt eat but had some tea which was good! Good service as well.

Great food. Really friendly manager

Food was excellent and well priced.

A very unique setting on a median between 2 roads but despite the traffic surprisingly quite peaceful. The menu is quite extensive with a good selection of food and drinks. Service is a little slow but otherwise I enjoyed my meal. I would recommend a visit.

Loved the food. Looks and tastes great. Cool setting for sundowners/pre-drinks. The cocktails were nice. An overall cool laid back vibe. No music though, but then again I was there during lunch (maybe they do later).

Best almond cappuccino I have had

This place is a hidden gem. There is a very European feel to it, mainly I guess because of the setting, which is absolutely lovely. Only done breakfast there but its a quiet, peaceful setting to sit, eat and discuss business. Breakfast is very good quality

After a stopping coffee found this great coffee which we enjoyed so much that we came back for lunch, staff were warm and pleasant, and the manager Chris complemented the coffee shop experience but also serves fantastic lunch menu , so it’s must see place and stop for coffee or lunch.

Love Grate! Friendly staff, good food, good service and always willing to cater for you early in the morning even if they not yet open!! 😱❣

The food is good, surprisingly not so expensive. Just missing the 5 star because of a bad choice of straw for a milkshake (banana peanut butter, it is tasty). Start practicing to get that sucked up... hahaha....

Laid back weekday coffee shop/ lunchtime venue set in the heart of large corporate buildings. Easygoing and ideal for a short getaway from the office or to host formal and/or informal business meetings. Food is a bit pricey but great tasting (pardon the pun!) but good quality.

Im asking anyone who needs time to relax and enjoy your meal inside or outside the restaurant breathing fresh air and a place to park your car just come to grate restaurant its nice to be there

Friendly service. Great food

Best avo on toast!

This is a local cafe located between the many office parks on Fricker Road. If you work in the area, its a good place to escape the office building. It has a great selection for breakfast and lunch.

Convenient coffee date location away from the kids before work. Very friendly owner and staff! :)

Good for quick bite. Nice menu not expensive. Lunch time crowd

The food there is the best. Im addicted. Service is great too

Good food. Excellent service. Pleasant surroundings.

Ordering a coffee while you wait, and with Almond Milk nogal! Excellent service, waiters are on the ball and even when coinciding with large events... This team have got your back!

The food was absolutely delicious and the servers are polite and professional.

The food took too long to arrive

A must visit in Illovo, the organic fresh vegetable juices are refreshing.

Best coffee shop in jnb. My new favorite business spot.

Hot coffee and good food serviced professionally on a cold morning at a convenient venue. Winning combination. Thanks.

Good menu selection. Suitable for business mtngs.

Staff could be a bit more pleasant and attentive but a nice spot under the oak trees.

Food quickly prepared and consistent - not brilliant but good.
