Really love not only the food, but the atmosphere when you walk into the Woolies Café. Five stars because the quality of the food was delicious, the presentation was superb and the service was exceptional 😊 The chips are my personal favorite.

Woolies cafe is one of my favorites. The waterfront cafe provides a great view over the harbor and makes a perfect food stop in between shopping and errands. The cheese burger is pretty amazing and their selection of wheat free gluten free cakes are cool too! Good value for money and never disappoints!

I had the cupucino and croissant. The coffee was fresh, and the service was fantastic as I've come to expect from the Woolworths chain. This is a great branche and Id recommended it to all coffee enthusiasts!

Great view!

Come here on a waitressing break. Service has improved tremendously!

Recommend poached eggs on rye. Reasonable and a good meal.

Frosted latte is also a must! Not too sweet!

I come here all the time because I none that I will get a delicious and quality meal! I had the kale and haloumi bowl and swapped the avo for bacon- I know, what's wrong with me!

It was super tasty and filling! Our waiter was quite slow in getting things to us, and he messes up someone's haloumi order with my food somehow! But otherwise a really delicious meal overlooking the harbour!

Update: I am no longer mad at this place. It definitely deserves an increased scoring. Ordered the duck and poached egg corn waffle! Yum! Probably the only thing I’d change would be the soy condiment to something sweeter like hoisin. Had it with a green juice, which was really really good!

Wanting something sweet afterwards, but not too stodgy, I had the Nutella filled cruffin! Oh my chocolat! Wow! Highly recommend ordering this.

Even though it was crazy busy (end of month and woolies sale vibes), I got served in under 10min! Amazing!

Kudos to the newish (I haven’t been back in months) manageress on the floor. You can feel the difference in the service levels.

Super tempted by the rest of the menu, and will most certainly be back.

Review 1: I just wanted simple avo on toast. It would've been quicker to go downstairs to the foodhall, purchase the avo and bread, return to the office to toast my bread and then lather the avo on my toast.

Had the soup of the day red pepper perfect on a winters day!
The service is always amazing but today it took awhile for us to get served and for the bill but other than that was a good meal!

I'm generally not a fan of places with too open of a layout because I like privacy and it is for this reason that I won't give it too high a rating. The food was good and the service here was exceptional, I wish I remembered our waiter's name because he was just that great. We had so many out of the ordinary requests and he didn't bat a lid whenever we made them. Kudos to him!

Free wifi is a brilliant start. I can get my work done on my laptop with a yummy red latte and fresh bagel or breakfast. Not a fan of the pay per gram vibe but the menu has enough options that I don't even have to consider that. The food is always of a particularly high standard and the price fairly priced for the quality. The staff are efficient and friendly. Definitely a good place to stop while shopping at the V&A.

Always extremely happy with this branch. Love sitting against the window, over looking the V&A and harbour. The staff is also very friendly and the food is good. For some reason, most of the time i have the soup and coffee at this Woolies, always perfect.

This is my mom's favourite place to go when she's at the waterfront. The coffee is great and we always enjoy looking out over the harbour. The potato cake with musroom was absolutely delicious, and my mom loves their fritters. Well-worth a stop off during a busy day :)

I do love a Woolies Cafe - always great quality food, and their coffee is my favourite!! This time round though I opted for the berry smoothie which was great, not too sweet. The gourmet cheese toast was delicious, served with a little side salad and some yummy pickles. Nice view as well!

Went for lunch with a friend to Woolies as she was craving a Caesar salad. I am so glad we did! Lunch with a view of the harbour. I had a classic rotisserie chicken salad with avo, greens, cucumber strips and a yummy mayo dressing (and I don't usually do mayo). Woolies chicken is the best and this salad was yum! Just hit the spot. Our waitress was very sweet just a little slow at times but to be honest the good food made up for it.

Woolworths Cafes are really underrated. Even though they get very busy they manage to get drinks and food out fast. Take a seat at the bar and you get treated to an awesome view of the waterfront. Definitely a good choice for coffee or lunch when shopping the waterfront.

The greatest part of this experience is probably the view of the dock area which is always slightly more pleasant when a yacht is parked right in front of the cafe which is always a pleasant sight.

Such yummy and buttery scones, and always freshly baked. But ive been told 'theyre sold out', more often than not. So if you get your hands on one, you're lucky! Also try their berry, yoghurt, banana and honey smoothie. So tasty ♥. Service is efficient, but waiting for a table is abit of nightmare,especially during peak hours.

Slow Sunday mornings is how I would describe my Woolies Cafe experience. The perfect place for good coffee, scrummy brekkie and great views.

So what did I have on my last adventure? Vanilla cinnamon latte, love it. And as per usual a good 'ol fashioned scramble on toast. Always seems to hit the spot.

The perfect place to have a good start when I don't feel for something heavy and fancy. Try the Cafe first thing in the morning to avoid the rush, it's pretty amazing when it peaceful and quiet.

Starving after standing in a line at computicket for nearly 2 hours I needed food really quickly... Headed to Woolies as I was on my way to do shopping anyway. Ordered a ginger lemonade which is always frozen and it's always amazing! Didn't care for much on their menu, I really think they could make a few changes in that regard. Ordered the corn fritters with honey glazed bacon and tomato salsa. The corn fritters were tasty but I found them a little dry. The honey glazed bacon was in no way sweet which to me was a great thing and the salsa perfectly complemented the rest of the dish. Service was a little slow but overall not a terrible experience particularly if you're already in store.

Woolies is great always - I've only had hot drinks at this particular cafe. The hot chocolate and honey nut latte were delicious as usual. The service was a little slow but friendly.

I have been coming here for a while, admittingly, until now, only for their cakes and other bakes (does that count as rhyming?).

Their cheesecakes are creamy and hit the spot but recently I found out their muffins don't, I was disappointed to find out that their apple and cinnamon muffin just isn't appetizing whatsoever, and that Vida E reigns supreme.

Furthermore, I decided to try proper food here for once and was upset to realize that they had no beef replacements on offer for their pork options such as beef sausage instead of pork. I ended up having eggs on toast which really felt alone without some meat :/

The best part about this cafe is that it over looks the Harbour and can serve as a break in between your seasonal clothe shop as its in the actual woolworths store.

Their staff is very friendly and great at what they do, unfortunately I just feel there's nothing that warrants a higher rating.

I had their berry and fresh basil lemonade which is one of my favorite drinks of all time. This time around it was good but not as good as the one I have at their branch in cavendish. I could taste the basil but the basil punch that I've come to know and love is missing. It was still an amazing drink so please try it if you get a chance.

This is one of my favourite Woolworths cafes. The view over part of the waterfront harbour is incredible and it is the best place to have a coffee. It is very small though so it's not easy to get a table when it's busy.

Solidly good all around for W Cafe at the waterfront. Much much better than Cavendish. My husband and I were so surprised by the stark difference between the two that we decided that we will drive the 20km to the waterfront instead of the 1km to Cavendish for the better service and food. It is smaller in size but we didn't wait too long for a table and we received our food quicker and of a higher standard than their Claremont counterpart. Definitely stop over for a coffee or a quick bite and look at the pretty yachts in the table bay harbour. Don't let the fact that you have to walk through the pj aisle bother too much 😛

The hostess is out-of-this-world amazing. Seated us at a table with most beautiful view! Was always attentive and sooo friendly. Other also incredibly nice. Only "downer" would be the food. Its wasn't that great. Ive been to other WW cafes and quality is definitely better. The food and coffee was also very slow but coffee delish! But the best view ever!

Woolworths is always a good choice, the restaurant overlooks the harbor and it's situated in the back of the store, which is great and avoids the bustle of the store. Their Turkish flat bread is lovely, and flavoursome. It's a must

Woolies cafes are a pretty standard good choice if you're in a shopping centre and you need a bite to eat. I love this one because if you're lucky you can get a seat at the countertop and stare out at the gorgeous harbor view while sipping on your coffee. Their food is standard, and you know what you're going to get when you go there. The service at this particular branch can be quite slow, so make like a real Cape Tonian and chill and enjoy watching the seals play in the harbor water.

Consistency, Consistency and more Consistency. This particular Woolies cafe is quite small, in fact it's tucked away from the obviously known eating places. But one thing is for sure is you will get you favorite food with the same great taste as the last time. Their portions are also good value for your money. The view from the counter is amazing. Service is just as great. Apart from the size of the place which limits you from sharing with a group of friends it's a great meeting cafe⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went to this cafe with six people which was just too many! It's small and quite noisy but must have the best view of the harbor with its floor to ceiling window! The food was great- you can be sure of quality at all Woolies cafes ... Best coffee and muffins around .

I actually really wanted to say something nice because I swear by the rotisserie chicken wrap but tried to give the rest of the menu a try today and it was kinda "okay"

But generally have had good (better) experiences sticking to the same food every other time
- breakfast scone
- rotisserie chicken baguette
- red cuppachino

It can be a bit erratic but the views are incredible, and you're protected from the wind.
The burgers here are the best across all the branches in the country, highly recommended.

What's not to love about Woolworths Cafe? The coffee is ALWAYS amazing (organic!) and the harvest table is consistently good, although a little pricey. I'll often simply order the avo on rye and I've never been disappointed in its presentation and quality. Try the "all green" juice for a pre-breakfast health kick.

Truly an international experience. Everything you need in one venue. See Cape Town, see South Africa in this unique corner of Africa. Absolutely beautiful views of Table Mountain. Weekends are the best. Great entertainment all around this exquisite jewel. A must-do for all tourist, local or international.

Best Woolworths in South Africa! The views of the harbour are magnificent! They have a butcher on site, always offering samples to taste. They also offer fresh oysters and fresh fish. The sushi chef prepares these amazing platters for events and parties, and the price point is good. Impeccable service! 👌 Love their flowers and they stock some unique homeware gifts! 🎄 🎁 I’m not the biggest makeup wearer but as I passed the Stila makeup counter the lovely sales assistant beckoned me over for a free makeover. She used kitty on my lips and cheeks, a drop of the Illuminator and a little eyeliner and voila I looked and felt like a new woman, but my skin could still breathe. I love how respectful she was of my skin, making sure to disinfect brushes & prevent cross contamination of bacteria 👍 definitely love their health & safety practices. One hundred percent recommend for ladies who love their own skin & want to avoid the feeling being covered in makeup 💄 The kiddies section is near the Table Bay Hotel entrance, so if you’re done checking out at 11am and have some time to spare. I suggest you browse around for a gift for your niece or nephew 🍼

Superb customer service. All the staff in mens suits section very good. Staff steamed my suit. Taryn really went above and beyond and from all the shops I went to today was by a mile the most competent and efficient. Would not have made purchase of 5000zar+ if not for her proactive customer service. Top job Woolworths

V&A Waterfront,Breakwater Boulevard ,Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town I have heard a few negative comments about the cafe but we have been here so many times, myself and my husband as well as my children and have always had a lovely time. The food has been top-notch every time, as well as the soups and cakes. I especially love their Shroom burger with chips and the baked cheesecake and the coconut cake is to die for. It’s alway lovely to get a seat at the window, as the view of the water and the palm trees are just awesome 👌

7 stars. This place is unreal. I never knew about it until today was with friends and we went there. The food is unbelievable and reasonably priced and the view is incredible of table mountain and the harbour. Chicken burger 10/10. Chicken noodle salad 10/10. Friends had toasts with avo and eggs and a different chicken salad. By far the best place to eat at the waterfront. A great experience all round. It is also a nice break from the busy shopping of the waterfront. Or you can try the rip of tourist trap restaurants 😂

Excellent food, service and views at the Woolies Cafe situated on the 3rd level of Woolworths. They have tables and counter tops where you can appreciate the scenic views while enjoying their scrumptious food, all while charging your mobile devices at the strategically placed plug points under the counter.
