Review Honest Chocolate Cafe - Cape Town Central

Second outing here and as good as the first, 4 years apart which says a lot for consistency and upkeep. Lovely quaint shop. Serene. Like it's made for coffee and chocolate, and they do those very well. Great service and selections.

I can't articulate how amazing this place is. The atmosphere, the food and drinks. I forgot to ask for their name ,but as I walked in, I asked the person at the counter to pick a drink for me. They picked an ice something chocolate. That tasted amazing, not too sweet nor thick. With two croissants 🥹hear me out, those croissants were "oh so heavenly." 10/10

Famous out of „Somebody feed Phil“ (Netflix) We went here two times: the first time, there was load shedding, so no orders could be made :-( On our last day here, we tried it again. No load shedding, so chocolate time can start. You can order chocolate to drink out of a menu of various styles. Also many cakes and other chocolate-stuff are available. It’s your choice - and it’s a hard choice if you don’t wanna get a sugar-shock! We tried also milkshake (with a mashed brownie inside), which has been quite the best milkshake I ever had. Also the hot chocolate and the chocolate cheesecake were very nice! So it was a great idea to come back. If you love chocolate, then you have to visit this cafe! If you don’t love chocolate, then you also have to visit it ;-)

Honest is a CBD gem. Suited for digital nomads, chocolate lovers and architectural enthusiasts, this cafe is an unexpectedly serene and picturesque, with wonderful Wi-Fi. Rather expensive, but the quality is comparable - I went for the iced chocolate with oat milk. The staff are relaxed and attentive, but moreso on the shy side. Overall, it gets a double thumbs up from me for its gorgeous setting, mellow team and divine drinks. Definitely recommend for friend dates or for a quiet afternoon catching up on work.

We stumbled upon this cafe one evening while heading to The Gin Cafe. Since it was late, I didn’t try the coffee but we had several desserts. I ordered a caramel chocolate cheesecake and the banana bread ice cream volcano. They were both divine! It’s definitely a place to stop in for delicious treats and the service was so friendly. A great gem of a place.

Brownie was worth the hype. Chocolate cake wasn’t that good. The chocolate filled croissant was good but would have been better warmed up.

I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a a bunch of sweat treats after Mimosa’s and MJ ? The banana bread bunny made me cry a little ; Banana bread, hollowed out and replaced with Ice cream and choc sauce. The chocolate cake, Tart and brownie were yum. The cheesecake made me wee a bit - it was that good. Ambience is lovely, could do with better heating during the winter if I’m being honest 😉

The chocolate cake was scrumptious!!! The cheesecake was to die for. BEST chocolate milkshake I've ever had. So glad this place is a 40min drive away, otherwise I'd be there EVERYDAY...

My son is a chocolate-lover!!! So when he heard about hot chocolate and chocolate cake... he wanted to go!!! We specially picked the coldest day in CT to enjoy this chocolate cafe. When you walk into the shop, you can smell the chocolate aroma in the room. Their chocolate and cake displays are set up so nicely, and I love their menu on the wall. Everything is chocolate and more chocolate. We ordered their hot chocolate (as mentioned, it was a coldish day) and a double dark chocolate cake. My son ate all the cake without sharing, and I drank the hot chocolate. They used real unsweetened chocolate to make the hot chocolate, so it wasn't to my son's taste. I did add some sugar, but it was still very strong chocolate taste. My only regret was not trying more chocolate options like their brownies or the chocolate bunny chow. Definitely next time and buying their chocolate slabs. It is a bit pricey, but you can't argue because they do use good quality chocolate to make their drinks and confectioneries. I gave them a 4-star, but not because it was not good. Their cake was tasty (not too sweet, not too heavy, or too rich). The sponge was less moist, and the hot chocolate was just not creamy or warm enough for me. They brought the food and took the order correctly but there was not much service (you order, they bring and that is it.) And the place is cozy and they got that 'alley look and feel to the place'... you just want people to sit longer and use the space more to have that vibe to the place.

I went to this place to enjoy a lovely afternoon with their coffee and chocolate cheesecake! All their chocolates are handcrafted with high quality and organic ingredients! Definitely love their cheesecake with nuts to add a bit crunchy, and then in the middle is the soft, creamy filling and at the bottom is the chocolate. Not too sweet and it just matched with their coffee so much! I also bought an 80% dark chocolate as souvenirs! Definitely worth it! Bookmark this place if you visiting Cape Town! Its a GEM! Not only coffee and chocolate, it also has a bubble bar and another bar inside this magical place!

I won a prize of a chocolate tasting experience at Honest Chocolate. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had! I highly recommend this place. If you're a chocoholic this is the perfect place for you! Hurry on, get there!!

This place is chocolate heaven! It´s super charming, relaxed and a beautifully unspoilt location in the heart of the City Bowl. Almost all food and drinks are made with local and organic ingredients and taste delicious! Try the Coconut Dream : )

The taste is worth the wait. People complain too much about service. They wait in line at banks and supermarkets. Well done guys. Great place. Will be back.

Honestly the one of the best chocolate you could ever find it is so delicious.

A hidden gem. Will definitely be returning especially to experience the gin bar.

The brownies were great, the service not so much... Always wanted to try this place and left feeling disappointed... Not what I expected...

Amazing! Recommended to anyone looking for a great, well priced, mid day snack or on-the-go shake/drink!

Yesterday my son Gareth and I had the banana bunny with ice cream and melted chocolate with a mocca coffee. OMW! Such an illegal breakfast but totally worth it!

Flavour is really not that important as texture. The bitterness is of a grade that you could easily die of happiness. I love it. Just found it and as a vegan the store in Woodstock will find me a frequent visitor.

Absolutely charming Cape Town spot. Delìciòus chocolate cakè. Ģreat little spot.

The buckwheat chocolate tart was tear-inducing (the good tears) �

Absolutely fantastic, the banana bread with ice cream and chocolate sauce.......pure heaven �

Lovely little place that reminds me of coffee in Venice

We had the chocolate cake and sweet potato brownie, both were delicious. The service isn't that great though, so don't go there if you are in a rush.

OMG finally had the banana bread bunny chow, it was totally worth the trip from Jozi. Thank you Mike and Ant, that was nummy�

Fantastic spot. Girlfriend and I recieved great service top quality food and drinks over all very pleasant experience

#familyday in Cape Town... today my dear Gabriella was introduced to honestchocolate She had her first and the most famous #bananabunnychow in the world. She did not stop for one minute and even demanded half of my one and requested a dark chocolate scoop of icecream. I loved every second to watch her face getting covered in chocolate, qaulity and real chocolate. Your shop is perfect and was nice to see the locals with their kids today.
