Good quality light meals with a terrific mountain view. Their jams are excellent too. They are a short scenic drive from the centre of Cape Town - great for lunch or a snack during a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon drive

We regularly pop in here for delicious light meals. The drive there is along scenic routes which are on par with the best in the world.Great service and delicious cakes and coffee.

Excellent scones.Loved the proper clotted cream and the choice of 2 pots if jam was delightful and delicious.Service and staff great. Our group of 16 hikers descended on them and they rearranged tables and umbrellas promptly. Plus managed our big order quickly and efficiently.

Unbelievable place. We went to have breakfast here and were blown away by the view and the food. Their scones are so fresh and hot out the oven. Their homemade jams really hit the spot and I had a full English breakfast which was just amazing. Everything feels so fresh and well made that youll definitely leave satisfied.

In the perfect late winters weather we decided to go back to Hillcrest Berry Farm Restaurant- two weekends in a row!Its glorious to sit out on the veranda, enjoying a meal with a unbeatable visa of mountains.Delectable food, attractively plated and most reasonably priced. The staff is gracefully friendly.Ill be a regular visitor-especially when the fresh berries are harvested.

Amazing scones and orchards jams ,all different flavors.Scones with clotted cream ..a dream....with a magnificent view of the valleyWill.defenitely go there every week !!! Divine!

Really sweet little cafe and shop in the hills above Stellenbosch. Prices are excellent, service is great, and we loved the food — particularly the scones. With a table on the terrace and a beautiful view, you can’t ask for anything more.

Lovely little restaurant just off Helshoogte Pass with stunning views. We went on a rainy day and it gave off amazing Swiss/European vibes 🤭 really really beautiful.Has a nice variety of hearty food too, will definitely be returning!

Beautiful view, food and service! I would recommend visiting for breakfast or brunch.

Beautiful, clean restaurant. Lovely food and the traditional cheese cake is superb. Lovely variety of berry jams and other products. Friendly staff. Beautiful surroundings and ample parking space.

Its a nice place to be, Waiters keep up the good work

Absolutely stunning views, friendly staff & delicious, delightful scones, muffins with beverages. Will definitely visit again. Great restaurant.

Setting so beautiful. Garden an seating in and outside. Fireplace going in the cold. Covid compliant. Very friendly staff and a good variety of items on the menu. Be on the lookout for the turnoff as you can easily miss it.

Best variety of berries available here. Frozen and fresh whenever in season. I just love the view with a cuppa and the best scones ever. Hot out of the oven with cream and berry jams. Can recommend it👌

Good service, lovely menu. Wish there was more Halaal stuff and less alcohol in everything but thats my preference

We are locals so weve been to Hillcrest quite often. Our last 2 visits were very disappointing. The first, after asking where our food is (30 min after ordering), we were informed our order somehow got lost. Our food arrived suspiciously quickly after enquiring but my plate was missing ingredients and my husbands food was cold. The manager tried to rectify the situation by giving us scones on the house but they arrived cold and stale. The second visit was today with family. We were warmly welcomed and seated. Our order was taken but with very little enthusiasm or friendliness from the waiter, completely enveloped by inputting the order into the tablet system. Our drinks arrived about 20 mins later without milk and missing an order. Our food arrived 2 min after our drinks (and before the milk!). The Quince crumble was quite evidently microwaved so it was soggy and my scones were again not fresh at all and too much baking powder was added. We will not be wasting our time and money at this establishment again unfortunately

Tee / coffee with scones - with a view over the Stellenbosch mountains and a fire to keep you warm on a very cold day - what more do you want? I have not been to Hillcrest in many years and today I realise what I missed. I also like their coffee. They are very famous for their backed cheese cake. You can Buy any type of berries frozen, jam, fresh bread, scones and many other gifts.

The most wonderful variety of soups. The quince and pecan nut crumble tart was sublime and chilly coffee mwah. Ill go back again and again.

Today was a warm spring day and it was worth every bit to sit back and enjoy lunch on the patio while absorbing the view over the Stellenbosch mountains.

The most stunning views and great restaurant for a breakfast or lunch stop.

Splendid place for an outdoor breakfast or coffee stop or light lunch. Stunning views and pleasant service make for a worthwhile drive for locals and visitors.

Lovely restaurant with shop to purchase the products produced on the farm. Very cozy, busy place. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit

This restaurant is situated in the most stunning mountainous area. The food was pleasant especially the boboti

Amazing views, friendly and helpful waiters and quick service! We ordered the Pulled Chicken Gooseberry Burger and the Sliced Flank Marinated Sirloin. The burger had a creamy Avocado topping which was well complimented by the gooseberry chutney which was served separately in a mini jar - a very good combination of flavours. The pulled chicken on the burger was tasty on its own as well. We were pleasantly surprised by the presentation of the Sirloin - the steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. For drinks, we ordered coffee and tea, served in lovely stainless steel coffee/tea pots, which kept the drinks hot throughout the meal just as we like it. They have inside and outside seating available. I will recommend outside for the beautiful views. They also have a gift store where you can find all the jams and condiments, as well as a variety of gift packs.

Its really quite something. Different beautiful. Amazing views. Food. Staff

Great service. Excellent food

The food is very nice, but staff can work a bit on being more courteous.

Yummy scones on an autumn day. Cheesecake rich and decadent. Preserves sold are made by them and taste authentic and flavoursome.

Loved this place. Excellent food and service. Everything is top quality. I bought a lot of jams. But want to go back there soon.

There is nothing to beat this Cape icon of all icons! The view is breathtaking, the menu great and the service exemplary!

The only place in Stellies and Franchoek Ive come across that doesnt allow a dog on a lead in the outside area. Rude about it too.

Excellent as always - for many many years one of my top favourites.

Drove all the way from Melkbosstrand (45 minutes drive), looking for a great food experience. Beautiful setting outside on a gorgeous day in Cape Town, but felt extremely irritated and annoyed at the poor service. Waited almost 35 minutes for a cappuccino with my father-in-law (aged 81), ordered a kiddies macaroni which we waited for an hour to be made - eventually gave up when there was some excuse from the waiter. The Manager-on-duty did not know how to manage the situation (with the kitchen or waiters) other than to provide a credit on the drinks of the day. The oxtail and chicken pie were good. I don’t often (if ever) rate a restaurant, but I had to express my disappointment.

Loved it. My sons girlfriend was thoroughly spoilt on her birthday by the staff. Such a lovely place for a special occasion! The view is magnificent and the food is delicious. Each dish includes some sort of berry

Amazing outing when youre in the area a small restaurant that serves their own products in intresting ways. They have a wide variety of fresh produce and then preserves and jams of their own

Had the most amazing experience at this serene place. We enjoyed their scones with a variety of delicious jams. The service was really professional. The environment created is peaceful and relaxing. And the view is breathtaking. Also bought some goodies inside the shop to bring home.

Best quality and best value berries!

Gorgeous views with super friendly service. Thanks a million! Will be visiting again soon!

I will go back for my jams and my honey. Beautiful place.

Very nice.Great variety of jams, desert toppings, frozen berries, mustard and honey. Will definitely return for a coffee and some scones.

A calm peaceful environment in which to enjoy a wide and very enjoyable menu from yummy teas to tasty and well presented lunches.

We had a lovely experience having breakfast there after an MTB ride at Old Bethlehem in Kylemore Banhiek Conservancy. I especially love the filter served in an individual plunger . . . #happycustomer

Hidden gem - such a stunning location, perfect for working or going out with friends. its got the most beautiful views and its so peaceful. great menu and the quality of food is fantastic - recommend the veggie and chicken burgers, and the lavender panacotta is also incredible.

Very very pleasant enjoy the coffie and all the other things one can buy and eat. Very nice and picture like surroundings defnitly worth visiting

Nestled in the beautiful Banhoek Valley... This lovely setting has a great restaurant that overlooks the mountains and valley as well has great selection of berrys and jams... All frozen though but the jams come in different selections for around a decent price... There are other farm stall items but mostly jams...

Hillcrest is not only a farm where you can buy frozen berries but theyve got a restaurant that offer delicious menus from scones for breakfast to late lunches to enjoy. Friendly service, spacious shop and restaurants overlooking the valley. Could spend two hours and more enjoying friendly atmosphere while catching up and chatting away the hours!! Highly recommended! Enjoy!!

Best tea and scones in the winelands

Very misleading, just jams no berries. How about some frozen berries or something.

Stunning view. Great service. The food was delicious. The shop also has a huge variety of jams coffee and little treats.

The process of the berries are not shown so you don.t no if the barries were just bought

A delightful Deli selling goods grown on their farm and sourced from local producers. A great Cafe to enjoy coffee or tea with some of their baked goods too.

Good food , the scones were great .

Fancy scones and a wide variety of jams to choose from. Always a treat to go there.

Loved every minute there. Hope Mr and Mrs OGrady is fine.

Awesome view from the patio into the Banghoek valley. Food is good and reasonably priced.

Been there many times. Always a very pleasant experience and a lovely drive there.

I adore this gem of a shop/restaurant. It honestly feels like another land. The scenery is BREATH TAKING. Berries and jams for days (huge varieties!). Their scones and cheesecale are a MUST.On a chilly winters day, I can strongly recommend the chilli hot chocolate. It is decadent and silky hot chocolatey goodness.You will not be disappointed at this gem of a place.

Disappointing flammekuchen. Avo paste used when there are plenty of avos around. All round it was rather a let down.Decor is seriously outdated. Needs a serious face-lift.

Amazing views, good service & great food

The gammon salad was excellent. The view breathtaking and their smoothy delicious

Stunning scenary, beautiful gardens, plenty parking, country style rekaxation - great!

Loved the cheesecake and the service was friendly and helpfull. Great views as well

Outstanding...everytime

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the fresh outdoors

Best scones and croissants by far, the jams are awesome as well. Melon and ginger is unique. The scenery is amazing as well.

The view of this place is insanely pretty... The Scones are also fantastic, this should be a stop on anyones trip towards Franschoek, or even on its own for a breakfast run.

Absolutely stunning views of the Helshoogte mountains. Very enjoyable visit to restaurant and produce shop. Warm and helpful waiters. Ample parking and Berry trees for sale.

Good clean and fresh with most awesome views.Friendly staff & delicious food.

Beautiful view; wheelchair friendly; tasty food, reasonable prices.

Good venue to have a quick bite. Interesting menu and competitively priced.

We have been the a few times. Last visit was on the 27th of Feb. Made the trip all the way to the farm and was really disappointed. Service was bad, feels like staff has a no care attitude. They serve a teaspoon of cream per scone, and the scone was dry. Scones was always really good, maybe it was just an off day for them.

Lovely views. Friendly service. Fantastic shop. Great food and jams

Not a rating. No rates for selfcatering cottages on the website and no answer during the day at the number on the website.

Had the Raspberry beef burger. It came with hand cut chips and onion rings. Loved it!!!We sat outside and enjoyed some sunshine and views of the mountains. Indeed a place to stop on your way.

Cannot not like this place a must go to, service is always good and food as weĺl

I am from Gauteng, and whenever we go to the Cape, we make sure to visit Hillcrest Berry Orchards. Beautiful setting, and the scones and clotted cream are to die for.

Excellent variety of jam combinations to enjoy with your choice of scones or muffins.

Love this beautiful place ... their breakfast and the fresh scones...personell very friendly

The view, the food, the gifts oh my gosh what a delightfull experience. Not only did I walk out with tasty gifts, the atmosphere and staff were begging me to return.

I have been visiting for years. Lately a bit run down. Food is good, was better in the past though

Service and food was excellent. Good value for money

Stunning little place, excellent service and the yummiest scones with your choice of 2 jams...

Great food and location. Food takes a bit long but due to it being freshly prepared. Gorgeous views

The chowder was divine...

Great place with lovely food.and friendly helpful staff.

Wow! A must visit place. The food is exceptional good and it is spacious and very professional, polite staff. A place you would like to take friends to for an occasion to be remembered

Absolutely stunning view to enjoy tea and scones. Besides the jams Im totally in love with their honey!!

Brilliant place for breakfast and lunch. Great menu, wonderfull views and excellent staff. We first discovered Raymond and Bettys hidden gem in 2003 and have been visiting ever since. We popped up here today from CapeTown for lunch, and will be stocking up on the preserves and other delicious delights from the shop. Well worth the drive. 🙂🙂🙂P S afternoon tea too, home made scones, cakes and cheesecake to die for 🙂🙂🙂

Great food awesome view

Wow what a spectacular view and excellent food. Thanks to the waiter for God service.

Fresh scones. Berry Jam. Beautiful views. Well trained staff. Love it! We go often and always take visitors.

Best jams, and their cheese cake is literally the best. Chocolate cake and scones are awesome too.

The best scones, amd lpts of jam!!!!

The scones are truly the best in the area. Will go in a heartbeat with a group, on a date or with family.

Not dog friendly, service was slow, scones were good though... A little bit tatty where we were sat, broken umbrellas and uneven flooring... Needs a bit of TLC

Went there for grannys 85th birthday over the weekend. The kitchen sent out a special desert with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. They went the extra mile to make it a special day.

Ive always enjoyed the scones and tea at Hillcrest and the views over the valley are also lovely. Lots of berry products to be bought if that floats your boat.

Nice venue with views and nice food

Delicious food, amazing views

I went there to get fresh berries but it only stocked frozen or preserved fruit. Pity. Otherwise it is a tearoom with great views.
