Review The Steaming Mug - Alberton

Ate here on the 21 April 2023 at 9:30 am onwards. ●One of the best coffee shops around.Ive been to quite a few and none of them come close to the quality,service and atmosphere the steaming mug has. ●The food is absolutely delicious and packed with flavour,from any of the breakfast options to the flapjacks or savoury flapjacks to the sandwiches.The food items on the breakfast ordered was cooked and seasoned to perfection. ●The milkshakes are also super good,I definitely recommend having their milkshakes,creamy,smooth,textured and packed with flavour. ●The coffee is well coffee,cant really say anything on it other then delicious as every cup of coffee is anywhere. ●The atmosphere itself is always buzzing at this place,its always packed with customers. ●The service is top notch,staff makes you feel like family and checks up on the table all the time ●If you are in the area,I highly recommend giving them a try,you will not be dissapointed.

We were not at all acknowledged when we went inside. And the lady just flat ignored us after seeing we're not sure what to do or where to go. After waiting a while we just went to a table and sat down. Now, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it were done with everyone coming in, but it was literally just with us. We ordered our drinks. My hot chocolate was really good. I really enjoyed the marshmallows that were a little melted from the hot chocolate. The spicy Chai tea I tasted from my friend was also nice. We had the steaming mug hamburgers. It was delicious and I would recommend this. The chips were crunchy on the out side and soft in the inside. Something a lot of places struggle with using that type of chip. My friend took one take away for her husband. My mother in law had the chicken mayo and finished it.. Which is huge. She toasted chicken mayo was very good. Forgot to ask for a bite. Will definitely go again to try some other options on the menu and I would recommend this place to friends even though the introduction was a bit weird.

A lovely little restaurant. Awesome South African food and desert options. Cappucino was epic! Friendly waiter that served me. Lovely and yummy biscuits for sale. Will recommend it to anyone. Must visit.

What a beautiful intimate dinning experience. The owner has put so much into making the cosy dinning area a real comfortable home away from home. The food is remarkable and good portions that after you are finished you feel so warm and full. Beautiful decor and wonderful staff. Such a pleasant surprise. No one bothered you it was just wonderful. Best place we have been so far. Had a burger today was to die for. Everytime we come we descover something better. Best service friendly owner and staff. Our favorite place!!!

A hidden gem. Clearly the locals know this. As we sat outside they kept streaming in. Tastefully decorated, this coffee shop reflects the values of the owners. Each day they are providing more than coffee and cake (more on this). They’re serving a community with a place to meet, to talk, and to connect with each other. Our breakfast was prepared exactly to order, tastefully presented (I would add a touch of green) and with friendly service from Liz and Irene. The carrot cake we ordered as takeaway came with more than a single helping - thanks folks. This spot ticked all the boxes in our hunt for smaller, non big brand places to have breakfast after a parkrun. Thanks - till we meet again.

It's always a pleasure going there. Infact it's my number 1 stop for a cuppachino and snack. Love the service,the atmosphere created by staff and owner. Just a great place to enjoy a cuppachino and a meal.And the bonus is the value you get for money spent there.The food is great..Very welcoming place.

Lovely little farmhouse style cafe! Just had the best Red Cappuccino and their normal Cappuccino was equally impressive. Their cakes, scones and sandwhiches look to die for! The breakfast food is a little oily so that was a bit of a turn off. The staff was great, the decor was quaint and cute so I would highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, excellent service and good wholesome food.

Fantastic service, everyone was very polite. It's a quaint and cute little place with reasonable prices and unique menu items.

Delicious food and very friendly service.

The best coffee shop in Alberton. I would like to encourage Albertonians to make an effort to visit this little coffee shop and experience the excellent service, food and friendly staff. Well done Steaming Mug!!!!

Best little coffee shop ever!! My Favorite place for Sat Morning breakfast👌Excellent service, food EVERYTHING!! I would rate it 5 ⭐️ Plus!!!

It was a very nice experience. Very good food at a more than reasonable price and the helpings are generous. The crafts are also very nice i believe every family will find a slogan relevent to them on a craft. The one we bought is a kitchen watch with slogan "In ons huis is skottelgoed soos die Here se genade, dit hou nooit op nie." Visit them i am sure all will be pleasantly surprised.

The service and food is out of this world. Will always try to accommodate you. Their coffee is tops! Coffee shop with the best atmosphere �

Popped in for something to drink and ended up having a bite as well. Divine! Worth every cent. Staff so friendly and such a pleasant atmosphere. They have a very refreshing new take on preparing and presenting food. An absolute must.�

Wow! Dit was vir ons n wonderlike ervaring. Toe ons daar kom het dit sommer gese - "kom binne",so "inviting" is die buitekant sowel as binne. Vriendelike diens en ag, die kos word so mooi bedien. Sal beslis weer en weer gaan!

Best coffee shop I have ever been to. You must try the French toast and bacon sosatie �. Will definitely be back.

Only been once myself, my wife been a few times now and we all loved it. Amazing little find. Great food, very tasty and even though we had a small issue they promptly changed it without fuss.

We had a lovely mini breakfast in a friendly environment. It is so nice to visit an old style coffee shop

This place is so awesome! Quaint, homey and the food is great as is the presentation. Found it by accident and we have been back regularly! Love it!

Beste tuis gemaakte boere kos, die pap en skilpaadtjies was heerlik en lekker plaas ontbyt. ���������������

Stunning atmosphere !!! Food is great and has a variety of food and not badly priced. Show me one place selling jaffels in a restaurant ??? Lovely lovely lovely

From the first moment it feels like home. The people is so friendly and I can't wait to visit them again to enjoy pap and skilpadtjies. The lady who served us promised me she will ask management for moer koffie. ��

What a pleasure having coffee and breakfast here. Great, friendly staff, excellent food, nice portions. So, yes, do try

Awesome coffee shop with great service and friendly smiles! Love the warm and homely feel!

Absolutely delicious food We try something new every time we go there and are never disappointed Very worthwhile visiting

Very good experience. We enjoyed the tasty food. Relaxing ambience

First time I have been to this place. Always drove past it on my frantic missions to McDonald's but never gave it the time of of day... However, I do regret so. Lovely little place with a quaint selection on the menu. <br/><br/>I ordered a chicken salad which was beautifully balanced and eventually steered away from my brilliant diet and indulged in a great piece if carrot cake all washed down with a cup of americano coffee (which was massive by the way).<br/><br/>I loved my experience and will definitely be back... with a few more people if course.

Honest farm style breakfast options.<br/>Great coffee and friendly staff.<br/>Will defenitely go back and if you want to have something different to the ordinary breakfast give The steaming mug a try.

This is a lovely little coffee shop hidden away in Alberton. Everything is presented in an interesting manner and has a boere theme. Waitresses are friendly. There are items on sale such as ornaments and creams and it’s a nice venue to meet up with friends. The only downfall was the chicken mayo French toast was a bit dry but all the other meals in our party of ten were delicious. The French toast is not what we traditionally know but large rounds of crispy bread. My bacon banana French toast Sosatie with maple syrup is a must try. Unfortunately I did not get a photo this time. This is definitely a place to visit.

Great quaint little coffee shop. Food well presented. BEST chocolate brownies. Real home made. Warm and homely. Coffee is good and served in large cups.
