Had the best French toast I have had in many years around the world! ; the staff were very good and the coffee was great! Good location and excellent ambience.
One of my favourite local hangouts! I love the minimal decor and calming atmosphere. You can find me there regularly with a cappuccino, and a bowl of their "Porridge from the Gods" or the "Lumberjack" sandwich.
I popped in for lunch, I had no idea what to order or what to hope for but the lovely girl/waitress behind the counter was all too accommodating & helpful. She recommended a salad based on dietary requirements, I naughtily decided to have the pasta salad with peas, feta and yoghurt. It was unique and delicious! I would have liked some more! I saw some interesting looking smoothies walk passed... everything is rather miniature sized...and I am a small girl...
Good food, good service, nice deco, what else you need? Nice alternative options on the menu and really good fresh juices. Perfect for a lunch
What an absolute treat. Beautiful decor, quirky details, lovely ambience. The food is sublime and the vegetarian options unlike any I've had in Cape Town. Everything is always so fresh and the staff friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. You can see they enjoy working there which is so pleasant for the customer too. One of the best spots in Cape Town for sure!
It's been years since I last visited this cafe, and I'm still impressed by the thoughtful menu, despite a change of hands.
I like the atmosphere, though the changing art has taken its toll on the walls somewhat and that is evident. Otherwise, much thought has been put into the...
I like my breakfast in this cute cafe . Fruit salad with yogurt and home made granola are delicious. Their fresh ginger tea and juices are just perfect match for a boost of energy in the morning. Owners are mother and daughter, super friendly. If you feel like something salty even their bread selection is interesting. Even a slice of it with avo salt and pepper is tasty and filling.

We are regulars here for a quick breakfast and coffee. We love this place for a few reasons,
1. They cater for Vegans
2. Staff are friendly and offer excellent service
3. Simple layout, clean and stylish
4. Food and coffee is always above average
Great quality food in an intimate café with something very everyone even though the menu is short. We were there for brunch on a cool morning in the Mother City and enjoyed poached eggs, flapjacks and smoothies. The consensus from our party of five was that the quality of the ingredients used is high and food preparation is good. A special highlight was the almond mylk latte which seemed to have a bit of the nut pulp thrown in for added richness.

Skinny Legs Luxury Cafe might have a curiously grand name but it's ambiance is comforting and intimate – in a minimalist sort of way. A combination of raw cement floors, high panelled ceilings and the blue Delftesque tiles in the kitchen area give this inner city eatery a homely feel whilst the reclaimed schoolroom chairs combined with Perspex furniture and tables painted a white gloss make it an Instagrammer's paradise.
Continuing on the theme of photogenic spots to lunch at, the menu mirrors the café's name with a health-conscious selection of foodstuffs – all beautifully presented on retro earthenware crockery. I opted for the Chèvre salad with walnuts and a wonderful pile of deep green rocket doused liberally in a tangy vinaigrette. For someone that isn't altogether fond of salads, I could easily turn over a new leaf and become a repeat customer purely based on this dish.
An interesting selection of drinks also makes this a worthwhile brunchtime venue – my Matcha Latté with almond milk was pleasantly earthy plus they have fresh kombucha which is always a welcome addition to any menu. Their shakes are authentically flavoured with fresh ingredients and the constant activity in the open-plan kitchen is a treat to watch.
The only downside to our visit was that our waitress wasn't the most attentive and seemed to spend the majority of her time hanging on to the kitchen countertop and having in-depth conversations with the rest of the staff instead of attending to customers.
That being said, my absolute winning point would have to be that Skinny Legs Luxury Café SERVES BREAKFAST ALL DAY. So I definitely recommend a visit!
Walked into the new branch in Wandel Street. I adore the simple and understated interior plus the exceptionally friendly ladies behind the counter, I started my day with a smile and their spinach, apple, and honey smoothie.
After the eating binge I have been on in Cape Town's wonderful restaurants, I came to Skinny Legs for a detox. The Porridge of the Gods and the quinoa bowl are healthy and delicious - a rare combination! And the legs of the tables here are really skinny!
Lovely spot with one of the best menus, in my opinion. Clearly a lot of effort has been put into the meals, presentation and the overall atmosphere at this place. I've been here twice now and ordered 2 very different meals each time. Both were absolutely worth it and I recommend asking the staff for advice if unsure. Both recommendations have been amazing so far.
The staff are very friendly and they offer a waiting station if tables are not available. Recommend booking in advance if possible.
Cute little Breakfast/ Brunch bistro in the heart of the City. On-Street Parking is available.
Slightly pricier than your standard breakfast, however the Taste and quality is worth every penny!
Staff was extremely friendly and is extremely polite despite being very busy around lunch time.
Restaurant setup was very simple but was not too cramped allowing for a relaxing brunch experience.
Definitely will recommend.
Really loved the place. Food was excellent the poached egg perfect. The banana bread delicious.
It has few seats inside and additional seating outside. So on warm days no problem with finding a seat.
Great food, awesome choice!
The freshly squeezed orange juice was soo yummy, and I had the best flapjacks I’ve ever had in Cape Town ( trust me I had a lot!)
Unfortunately the outside sitting area is right by a very busy road, which makes it quite noisy, but it also gives you the big city vibe :-)
I can’t get enough of this place. I am a fan of breakfast for any meal of the day and Butter do it sooo well. The food is amazing and even though their space is small, the staff is always accommodating which is a rare thing in the CPT restaurant scene. A firm fav is the breakfast wrap and their scones but to be fair, I haven’t given the rest of their menu a competing chance 🙈. The service could be better but the good nature of the staff makes up for it and of course the delish food. Did I mention the mimosas!!! Made and priced well.
Beautiful little restaurant/cafe. The staff are super friendly. My 1st time I was there and I was offered choices of meals that wasn't on the menu which was great because I didn't want a big meal. It's quite cozy and the outside area is great for summer days..
I wasn't entirely impressed with my sandwich but I will definitely go back to try other meals and I'm sure this food review will get more stars...
The location is great, seeing that I might be more frequently in town. So they walking distance from where I must be... parking will definitely be a problem in the week but weekends, not so much
Deserving of its position on all the “Top 10 Breakfast Spots in CT” lists.
Intimate space, with limited seating.
FANTASTIC COFFEE - all four cortados were perfect.
Breakfast was simple, elegant, well presented and delicious.
We had a coffee while we waited for a table. Butter fills up pretty quickly so expect to wait for a table.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BREAKFAST
This was one of the best breakfasts we have ever had in our life! The service was phenomenal, they were so kind and made us feel welcome! Their homemade sourdough, fresh ingredients, and incredible options were unmatched. The lattes (coffee and chai) were some of the best we have ever had! The homemade sourdough toast with butter was true to its name and truly melted in your mouth. Could not recommend this place highly enough!
BUTTER is a great place to have breakfast, brunch or Lunch. They opened in May 2021.
They specialise in All Day Breakfast.
I discovered this great cafe randomly on Google maps while looking for breakfast places.
It did not disappoint. The staff is very friendly. It seems to be a popular place to have breakfast in Cape Town, as it gets busy during late morning to lunch hours.
I had the hashbrown stack which consist of hash brown, poached egg, avocado , bacon and cream cheese.
It was a very delicious breakfast item.
I also had one flapjack, with syrup. It fluffy, flavourful and sweet. To drink I had a nice fresh orange juice with ice and an americano.
I definitely recommend this cool breakfast spot. Definitely will be coming back there again when back in Cape Town.
Cute little breakfast spot! Service was excellent and attentive, food was delicious and fresh. I had the Nutella French toast which hit the spot perfectly. Will definitely be back :)
