Lovely quick lunch.
While quite busy because of the lunch hustle, the service was attentive, polite and quick.
The food was flavourful and delicious.

Try out the flourless almond chocolate cake which is delicious! I personally prefer the flourless cake to a normal, flour baked cake. Add a turmeric and ginger latte and you’ve got yourself a party of flavors waltzing on your tongue

We had a very good experience at this Woolworths cafe. Often I find the peppermint tea is out of stock but this was not the case here. I highly recommend this tea. You can easily get three cups out of one pot. It doesn’t require milk or sugar and tastes great. We also had the crispy shroom burger which is one of my favourite burgers despite the lack of meat. I love that Woolworths is catering for vegetarians and vegans with the options of soy and almond milk.
Lastly, I have to mention our waitress, Smangele, who was particularly excellent in her service 👏👏

We have come here for hot chocolate and coffee but are yet to dine here. Menu looks amazing and very nice warm and cozy feel with nice decor. Definitely recommend it for breakfast or brunch.

Had the crumbed chicken burger it was delish! Chips are pretty good too. Cappachino is always a win from the woolworths cafes. Will gladly go back.

We popped in for breakfast. The floor space is huge with lots of tables along the sides and the back, and plenty of wait staff. My Americano was delicious and my cheese and corn waffle was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Generous mashed avo, sliced tomatoes, a fresh waffle, tasty bacon, all complemented by a mild, spicy sriracha sauce. I’ll definitely order it again.

Such a lovely and peaceful environment, I have been enjoying my latte more than I have actually zoomed into the meeting I'm having.

The gourmet grilled cheese IS A MUST! It is cheese heaven melting in your mouth!

I also enjoyed an extremely delicious golden latte, that includes tumeric, ginger, honey & coconut.

They also have a green tea option which is another MUST!

This woolies cafe definitely makes the best Jalapeño Crispy Chicken burger in jhb. The staff is almost friendly and the lunch harvest table collection is almost really good as well. I do feel like they need better aircon in this cafe though - otherwise, the overall experience at this outlet is always good.

Popped by here for coffee and cake. It was pretty quiet for a Sunday afternoon. Service was friendly albeit a little slow.

Had the flourless chocolate cake. The texture was obviously different to a normal dense cake but it was actually very good. The honey nut latte is always a winner.

Woolies cafe, always a safe bet for a decent meal.

A great spot for a family brunch or coffee date. The ambience is sublime and so is the decor. Service is slightly slow but the waiters are friendly. Woolies caters for all types of foodies and I LOVE that we get to indulge reading their taste magazine as you wait for your food.

We had our favourite, Avo on Ciabatta Toast and Cappuchino at Woolworth's Cafe in the Nicholway Centre. Such a simple, delicious meal!
My daughter mentioned that there were nothing gourmet about the Gourmet Cheese Sandwich - still it had been a good average cheese toastie!
Service by Felistas was good & friendly.

Great alternative if the Tasha's is too full (which it always is!). 
Perfect for meetings, and their pastries are always top class.The coffee here is great and is "fair trade" (more of a marketing buzz word than anything these days)My only gripe with this Woolies cafe is that the staff can really be up & down with regards to performance.

This is the best woolies cafe, no other produces quite as good food. I came here for lunch with my best friend and the food was delicious had the corn and cheese waffle with an apple and lemon juice and I have no complaints about that! The only let down is that our waiter was a bit slow and didn't come to check if we needed anything else, otherwise the atmosphere and food was fantastic and the hostess was so kind.

Was at Woolworths on Saturday to do some shopping and we decided to have a late breakfast at Woolworths Cafe. The restaurant was busy but a waiteress quickly joined 2 tables for our party of 5. We couldn't resist the yummy custard slices and mini chocolate brownies while we waited for our food to arrive. I cannot find the name on the breakfast dish I had on the Zomato menu but it consisted of a waffle with corn, avocado and bacon with a sriracha sauce which was super tasty.

Was at the Nicolway this weekend, and decided on the woollies café for lunch. I ordered the fennel and pulled pork shoulder sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, the pork was succulent, and the combination of pickled fennel and pork works surprisingly well. Woolies café will never disappoint with a wide menu, and a lot of pastries and baked goods, you will surely leave happy.

Popped into one of my favourite cafes for brunch and ordered a classic rotisserie chicken wrap with honey glazed bacon - and I'm very happy about the fact that the bacon was not drenched in honey , Ive had instances at other woolies cafes where the bacon was just then too sweet, I normally order honey glazed bacon to balance out the salt in bacon (Ive ALWAYS felt like bacon can do with less salt) so I'm happy that their menu offers that as an addition.
Cucumber Fresca to drink and it honestly is top5 most refreshing drinks because of the ginger and lime! It was also not too frothy which makes it the perfect summer drink.
The service gets a 2/5 because we weren't shown to our table and the service was quite slow . The overall experience was slightly above average (3/5) and because of the food being that good , 3,5 is deserved .

Our waitress Princess was lovely and accommodating. Their pressed juices are delicious - I had a carrot, orange and pineapple juice and a salad sandwich for lunch. The salad sandwich is simple but fresh and tasty. The price of meals are affordable and service was quick even though it was busy lunch hour. To top it off I was fortunate enough to sit next to Derek Watts from Carte Blanche.

How oftern we try search for the latest and greatest spot for our next meal, and we forget the tried and tested gems like Woollies Cafe. Sitting here drinking their coffee which I rate above Starbucks anyday and eating their Salted Caramel Cheesecake and some or other delicious avoid sarmie, I can't remember anytime that I have been dissapointed! EVER. Yes staff is a different story, but that you get at all restaurants.

Had a breakfast meeting at this Woolies Cafe. Good ambience, service and food.
The mega Americano lives up to it's name and it is a big mug of quality coffee, which isn't as easy to find as it should be.
To eat, I had the fritaffle and don't think I could have made a better choice. Light, flavourful and delicious with the avo on top, didn't even need any further seasoning or Tabasco. Will definitely order it again.

Woolies Cafe is lovely. Delicious food in a laid back setting. Woolworths just has a finesse about the presentation of food which I love. It seems careless and rustic but we really know it's deliberate and artistic.

Burgers are delicious. And you must have the garlic aioli. It's moreish and sinful and delicious.

So I have just had an incredible rotisserie chicken salad. I literally cleaned my plate. So delicious. A good amount of avocado- which is awesome because most places skim on the good stuff. It's a green sensation in the nicest way, with some cheeky crostini for a crunch. The dressing- a rocket basil mayo. Honestly so good. A reminder that when people say salads are boring, they simply either don't know how to make one, or how to order the right ones.

Got a take away to have at work. A full plate of goodness. Thumbs up from me!

The Woolworths Cafe in Bryanston is absolutely fantastic.

I went for lunch with a friend of mine a couple of days ago and all I can say is wow! The service was great. And the food was super fresh, tasty and delicious! Will definitely be back again soon. 🍟

Highly recommended for a chilled lunch if you're in Nicolway.

We went for a light lunch after previously stopping for breakfast and having had an great experience. As usual, the service at this Woolworths is really good. We had a toasted cheese and tomato and an open tuna sandwich. Both were really tasty and fresh and very filling.

We stopped at this delightful restaurant for breakfast. I have been before but just for coffee and I loved the look and feel if the place, especially the huge windows in the front. We had the 3 egg omelette with mozzarella and cheddar and the avo on toast. And of course cappuccino. The breakfasts were both freshly prepared, tasty and sufficiently filling. Coffee was outstanding as always. Service was quick and friendly and was followed up with a real check on whether we were happy with our food. Live this place, and will defiantly be back.

I often pop into Woolies after shopping to grab a quick breakfast. The team have upped their game and are catering to the carb conscious foodie. I enjoyed an eggs Benedict which was served on a giant mushroom instead of an English muffin and it was awesome! That was washed down with their green juice (great hangover cure!)

I would definitely recommend having breakfast at a woolies cafe. After you are done with your shopping you can happily munch away on fresh delicious breakfast croissants or wraps. I had the eggs Benedict as well as a green juice which was freshly squeezed. It's a little crowded but that is to be expected for a weekend breakfast venue.
Overall great food, service and experience.

Love the new Woolworths Cafes even though they have been getting a bad rap service wise the last few months.
I generally I've not had bad experiences but have seen the lax attitude of staff members at certain branches.The coffee is really good and probably on the top brew list in Joburg, haven't had a bad one yet-
The food has also kicked up a gear and is really good and decent value for money.
The feat table or plate by weight is really fresh and a good selection of healthy,interesting salads and other sumptuous looking food.
Wasn't really hungry so opted for coffees and a croissant with preserve and butter.
Staff were on hand most of the time and friendly enough.
Coffee great and croissant beautifully flaky and not oily.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. They unfortunately didn't have the calamari for the salt & pepper salad but the pork belly salad more than made up for it. Nicely done belly cubes atop a bed of fresh greenery and crunchy green beans, laced with pickled ginger and a really flavorful Asian based sauce, it reminded me of eating sushi. The combo of the ginger and the belly works really well, as the ginger cuts through the fattiness. Really nice, light, Asian inspired midday meal.

I got to start off by saying that the iced coffee here is the best I've ever tasted! Came back two days in a row to drink those bad boys! We also had a chicken schnitzel with a napolitano sauce on a ciabatte which was really good. However we ordered a side of chips for R23 which although nice there were only about 7 chips ! The service here also leaves much to be desired!

Very laid back spot in the Nicolway Shopping Centre. Fresh ingredients because they're using all their own stuff. I've had the liver salad before as well as the 3 egg omelette. Food well presented and a treat to the eye. My only negative comment would be that the bacon on the breakfast menu is all honey-glazed. There's no other variety to choose from.

I was in Bryanston as I was grabbing lunch at 1PM with family, however, my boyfriend and I decided to get something to drink beforehand as we were quite thirsty.

I ordered a red espresso, Apple and mint frozen drink and my boyfriend opted for a frozen ginger lemonade. I must admit, both were equally as amazing and I was left on a complete happy spell after drinking my drink.

If it wasn't for having to grab lunch elsewhere, I would have eaten something there as the food looked incredible and so did the menu. Their menu seems to be more diverse than the other Woolworths Cafes which is a major plus, especially since there is actually more than one vegetarian option.

I will definitely be back to try the food. It seems incredible!

Our waitress was very friendly and the service was great!

This Woolies Cafe is by far the best one, it stands out from the others in fact. It is a proper sit down restaurant with a really nice relaxed atmosphere and cool vibe, as opposed to the others that feel like your eating in the shop itself. The service is friendly, helpful and quick. They have updated their menu with some yummy options, I had a custom made breakfast which was fresh, delightful and healthy. Value for money is fantastic, the food is health friendly and there is something for everyone. I would actually highly recommend giving this Woolies Cafe a go for brunch!

Stopped here for a quick red cappuccino which was Devine and opted for soya milk which I prefer because I'm not much of a dairy fan, my mom had their Turkish flat bread but had it as a wrap instead which she thoroughly enjoyed, the chicken was not dry and the pomegranate seeds lifted the dish giving it a sweet pop with each bite. I took a take away home from their harvest table which is Italian inspired and was delicious, I would also advise people on their chicken liver salad and their honey nut latte, everything here is just good.

Very high up on my list of favourite people is this guy, Prince Nkomazana. He's a manager at Woolworths Café Nicolway.

There are very few people I genuinely enjoy spending time with (even if that's only for as long as it takes me to finish a coffee). There are even fewer who possess the character traits I aspire to. Prince is a guy you want to spend more time with. And after every bit of time I spend with him I realize that if I could be only half the man he is, I'd be twice the man I am.

I suppose one wouldn't expect any less from a Prince.

I was underwhelmed by this Woolies Cafe when I went for their Harvest table and most of it was finished. Yes finished. So sad as I love the food here in general. The meals are great and it is lovely for a coffee or full meal. Previously I loved it but the passed two visits have been disappointing.

It's my weekly shopping coffee pitstop location so it can't be that bad. The cappuccino is served with a dense foam and at the right temperature which isn't as common as you'd expect but like every Woolies Cafe the bill takes ages to arrive and ages to pay if you use a card.

Woolworths Cafe's food is really good. I've had the full breakfast as well as the mushrooms on toast.. Both of which were amazing. 👍🏼 Their service can be slightly slow, so order quickly.. But I think that it is because it is usually full (which is a good sign). Their coffee is good, too. ☕️ Definitely worth a visit!!

I usually pop in here for a coffee and bite to eat with colleagues and I love their honey & nut lattes! Although this place is always packed during week days and the service is a little slow, I have always found the food good so if you aren't in a rush, this is a nice change in the Nicolway Shopping Centre.

*Recommendation: Their Nachos & salsa is a favourite of mine!

All I can say is BEST CORN fritters ever. Topped with the syrup bacon this is a yummy breakfast. The serivce is a tad slow and it takes awhile to get going but if you there for a chilled moring suck it up and stay. The coffee is also great and there are a few different blends to pick from. I like that. They also do a mean carrot cake. A lovely Sat morning breakfast spot before you tackle some shopping.

We all love shopping at Woolworths (besides for bank account balance). So you can definately expect greatness from the Woolworths Cafe. Just knowing that their ingredients are from Woolworths provides comfort that the food will be good.

Their menu is perfect for light lunch or breakfast. Ranging from sandwhiches, salads to burgers. Their coffee is great too.

Ive only tried out their sandwhiches and burgers which have both been fantastic. My one complaint however would be the slow service.

The best breakfasts. Try the Proper Breakfast with farm style white toast. I don't know how they do it but their toast has a brioche type of sweetness to it. Makes it half savory half sweet. And the coffees are done very nicely.

I brought my mother to this Woolworths Cafe at the start of the year, and she was very impressed with it (as was I). It seems more spacious (and definitely bigger) than most of the other branches. Service was good - fast and friendly - and our food presented beautifully (my mom actually wanted to take a picture before eating!). The food was very tasty too, and although the coffee was a little strong for my liking, the overall experience was a pleasurable one.

I have to be honest, I'm not a great fan of Woolworths food but yesterday I decided to go in because I was looking for Vegan products and I'm new at this. Lindiwe was standing there and I asked her to help me. She was so charming and walked around with me and helped me carry items as I didn't count on buying as much. She walked me to the till where I was assisted by a very nice lady as well called Thego. A very pleasant surprise and I will definitely go to the Nicolway branch again.

The Woolworths Cafe here is great! A lovely cafe with excellent service and an extensive menu. Serving all-day breakfast as well as an assortment of gluten-free and vegetarian options, this place is an unexpected gem. The grande Almond Milk Cappuccino is excellent (and my personal fave) and much larger than at other cafes. The food has never disappointed - almost cried because my gluten-free waffle cake was so tasty. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. Overall, I'm very pleased and will happily return.
