Such a cute little cafe. Great menu with very warm and friendly staff. But I think I probably ordered the wrong dish, hence my score. Had breakfast with my mom and bro. I ordered the mushroom ragu on sourdough with a poached egg. Mom had the omelette. Bro had a breakfast with bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, poached eggs on sourdough with hollandaise. My breakfast was far too oily, literally had pools of oil on the plate. Mom’s omelette was over cooked and she did not like it at all. Bro loved his breakfast and said the bacon had the perfect crisp to it. The coffee was good and the baked goods looked yummy. But overall a fairly meh experience.
Really cute café with reasonable and tasty food options. I absolutely loved the coffee – smooth and not bitter at all, and it came in beautiful crockery. There are plenty of reasonably-priced options on their menu, and I went for the smoked salmon buttie for R50. The portion size was a bit small, but the toasted bun and well-cooked eggs made up for it. This was the perfect spot for a catch-up with my friends, and I really liked the quaint and laid-back atmosphere. Only problem might have been that service was a bit slow.I didn’t have a great return experience here – ordered the Paradis and my eggs were rock solid, after I specifically asked for soft. The waitress also kept trying to upsell us, and convince us to get another cup of coffee, which we got tired of. I understand they were a bit busy, but the service and food were both a bit lacking.
Quaint cafe in Claremont. Spent my lunch break here with colleagues. Had the green cold pressed juice which was overly sweet for my liking, then the home made sausage roll with a salad. Now the meal I really enjoyed, salad was fresh and crunchy, and the sausage roll with their chutney was a perfect pairing. I have heard great reviews about their soups and will be sure to try that next.
While it’s tricky to find parking nearby on a busy Saturday morning, I will say that the hunt was worth it. The cafe is cosy, brightly coloured and has a warm, homely feel. I adored the unique decor like the scatter cushions and cheese grater lamps. It really created a lovely atmosphere for the breakfast catch-up that I had with my friend here this morning. The food was good. My friend is vegan so she opted for the porridge (oats) minus the butter and asked for a vegan honey substitute and almond milk, which they happily accommodated. Turns out this place is vegetarian/vegan friendly which is great! I was on the mood to indulge so went straight for the eggs benedict (which I later learnt is named after Johnny Depp because the owner used to be his private chef!). The dish was really great – fresh ingredients, plump and juicy tomatoes, nice light hollandaise, perfectly soft poached eggs and a lot of yummy bacon. The flat white was decent and served in a very pretty pink cup with some quirky latte art. We both were satisfied with our meals. I found the service to be a bit slow in the beginning as my coffee took an unusually long while and our server was a bit absent at the beginning of our visit but after we ordered there were no problems. Would definitely recommend trying this place out. I’m already contemplating what to try for my next visit.
