Mugg and bean is a perfect end to a hectic day at the waterfront
Busy bustling
The drinks strawberry milk shake is pretty good hazelnut ice tea is strong coffee flavour not what you get back home in India
The buttermilk chicken is pretty good especially the accompanying sauce
The buffalo chicken wings are decently spicy and the sauce is good
The chicken fried in kids platter is good,served with a decent amount of fries
The nachitos with cheese was flat
The chicken noodle platter is really good ,pots of veggies and the noodles are really soft
The waiter who served is was pretty courteous, tad rude at the end when the tip wasn't according to what he expected

This was a very quick visit. The service was great. I wasn’t too pleased with my order, but to be honest, I was being adventurous. I ordered the turmeric gingerade. It wasn’t the worst thing i’ve had, but the turmeric added a bitter after taste. I suppose it isn’t for everyone.

I have really enjoyed the breakfasts however he wrap and milkshake was disappointing but it really depends on what you order! The vibe, view and atmosphere it still worth a turn or meet a friend for a quick coffee after shopping till you're dropping. Go for a slice of cake ;)

Lovely mountain and harbour views, great food and good service! We will definitely be coming back soon again! Only criticism is that there was no music playing.

Was put off most Mugg and Bean's after a string of bad experiences , however this branch restored my faith in the franchise . They always have such hearty portions as well as variety for those with dietary requirements. On a side note, our poor waiter had lost his voice and had to write down things like 'hello' and 'i'll be back' , very sweet.

Food: 3.5 / Setting 3.0 / Service 3.5 / Value for Money: 4.0

Pros: A good combination of decent quality, pricing and variety.

Cons: Was quite busy and noisy (mostly from the kitchen. One of the workers kept striking a metal object for some reason throughout the time we were there which was annoying and migraine inducing). Had to wait a few minutes to be seated, but not too long.

Love the new menu mugg n bean has introduced. can't wait to try more of the new additions. Ordered the chicken mac n cheese which was nice but a bit flavorless but the ice coffee was nice and refreshing. Others ordered toasted sandwiches which looked amazing and lovely new presentation plus you can now order sweet potato fries!

My dining experience today was superb and I'll forgo the old cold chips served up however special mention must be made for the greatest waitron I've come across, Mellisa has the right spunk, attitude, personality and product knowledge. She made us feel like kings and queens. She connected with us and yes I told her I was going to report her to head office because she didn't want me to leave😃 Mellisa our tourists need you to wait on you an asset to Mugg and Bean keep up the good work and I hope your skills rub off.

*IT'S A SUPER 'YES' FROM ME*
I had the most pleasant experience at this particular M&B!! The service was incredible and the food was wonderful as well. I ordered the 'Croque Madame' with their low carb, gluten-free bread and it was totally worth the R6 per slice (the slices are not small, as one would maybe assume when substituting for something healthier)!!
And even though I had a minor complaint about my dish, the waitress did not hesitate to call the manager to the table and everything was sorted out. Let's not forget to mention how nicely situated the place is. It's tidy and offers great views from your seating - inside or outside.

Working in the mall has resulted in me trying restaurants I haven't tried in years, one of these is Mugg & Bean. I had the eggs royale for breakfast a couple of days ago. It wasn't as good as I remembered but still very tasty. The have this coffee milkshake thing (can't get to the exact name) that is to die for. Portions are quite large so definitely worth a try.

Good breakfast pancakes and a huge variety of drinks. I ordered a matcha green tea latte and it was good but a bit sweet. My brother ordered a moca frappe and it was really good! Will comeback to try the eggs benedict!

A classic stop at V&A. The smell of sweet processed carbs and the buzz of tourists and local families, combined with a glorious view of the mountain with the waterfront below, will give you plenty to take in. I'm not a fan of the bitter bottomless coffee perpetually brewing in their big urns. However, in their favor, they will always provide you with pouring cream to make it taste better if you need your fix. The menu is quite diverse and gives some decent low-carb options too, including a creamy avo Benedict on mushrooms and my new discovery, a Shakshuka breakfast skillet (boerewors chunks, spinach, feta in a spicy tomato sauce). Service can be a bit slow if it is a busy day, but if you aren't in a rush it is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee with a view.

Mugg & Bean is aways a good bet with its generous portions, super service and this store is no exception with the added advantage of its perfect location at the V&A Waterfront

When visiting this branch you can expect the same quality service and food! Although they were very busy and on the run the food was still very tasteful and service up to standing The bonus of course is the view!

Mugg & Bean is another place I like to go for a quick snack - usually a muffin, cake or crepe. Their milkshakes are not great at all... really not up to the standards, especially in the Waterfront. Their muffins are great, especially when fresh out of the oven. My favourites are definitely the nut and chocolate chip varieties. Their desserts in general are very good, which is only let down by their exceedingly slow service. Overall it's an okay place to go for food, not service. 70%.

One and all the same, but we tried some of their new smoothies for breakfast this morning. The power berry smoothy is great, but the Matcha Green Tea, Mint and Apple frappe is a must... Will stop at M&B every day for one of those!

While strolling through the mall at the V&A Waterfront, we came across this place and decided to try it out. At first glance, the menu is HUGE and appetising !! After this, M&B became our comfort place throughout our holiday in SA, when we were hungry and weren't in the mood to experiment !! Great options to choose from and portions are huge, but value for money. Their homemade bottomless lemonade is a must have, as is the breakfast fare.
No matter what time of day, this place never disappoints. A must try for every tourist on holiday in Cape Town.

The best one by far! We had a light lunch here on our first day in cape town. They forgot to add tomato to my toasted cheese and tomato BUT not only did the manager come and apologise. They then gave us another toasted sandwich on the house which my hubby are. Great vibe and we will be back very soon.

Mugg and Bean never seems to disappoint me. Whenever we have the cake craving it's the go to spot. Ordered peppermint tart, caramel cheesecake and chocolate caramel cake and all 3 were fresh and delicious. We also ordered the lemonade and ginger beer which I quite enjoyed even though the lemonade reminded me of lemon oros.

Service was excellent as usual. I noticed some of the food items being served to the tables around us and they looked really good. Should go there for a meal.Julie-Anne Thomas

I can't really comment on their actual food as I've always been to scared to try it, I imagine mugg and bean as a place you go for dessert, which is what I did. The staff were super helpful in aiding me find the cake slice for me, we decided on the smores cake, chocolate sponge covered in orgasmic vanilla icing topped with melted marshmallow. While waiting I had a perfectly made rooibos latte, but the cake was a bit slow to come hence the lower rating. Other than that, it was absolutely amazing as usual, and I recommend going at night as they tend to want to get rid of their cakes, I had the biggest slice of cake I've ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating.

Mugg & Bean is a favorite for me, my family, and friends. The V&A warefront enjoys an exceptional position by the harbour with a beautiful view. The menu satisfies most tastes and their dessert is delicious

I'm pretty much a regular at any Mugg & Bean. I've had the pies and the wraps and the burgers etc etc all good and so on and so forth but his time round I went for a caramel cheesecake. Let's just say I had to take it away because it was that big! As delicious as it was, it was enough to share with a friend in all honesty. It's rich and creamy and just so darn good. Really really good.

Always a firm favourite! You know when you enter that you're always going to get great food and a big mug of their trademark coffee! Their eggs benedict is definitely the one to beat with its silky smooth hollandaise.

Really loved the warmth and service tonight.
I ordered a chai steamer and asked for a shot of espresso... It was so delicious and the best part, it was HOT! I am very fussy, and only drink hot beverages... It was truly, delicious

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday here, as it's our usual go-to place, and it exceeded all expectations. We were seated outside, enjoying a breathtaking view while soaking in the great vibes. The food was exceptional, and the Bottomless drink special was an absolute hit. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, on top of every detail, making the entire experience memorable. This place truly added an extra special touch to my friend's birthday celebration.

Ordered breakfast about a dozen times from this branch. Always fresh, warm and delicious. The hash browns and sausage are sometimes under cooked and oily. Otherwise overall it's a delicious breakfast. Nice venue and views. Service is good but a little slow. Atmosphere is nice but tourists can be rude and birds often pick your food outdoors on the balcony area.

Best!! Picturesque views of the harbour! Been going here for years and years! Get the same waiter each time, very dignified gentleman, professional service and always goes the extra mile because he remembers my family’s favourites. They always update the menu, but nothing beats their OG Lemon Meringue 🍋 🍰 The usually have electricity plug points for you to plug in 🔌 your laptop, camera or phone charging cables. Just note that you would probably need a South African 3 prong plug or two point power adapter. Download the app, because you build up points and receive benefits like Birthday rewards! 🎈

Top notch food. Everyone was happy with the dishes they ordered from omelettes, to sandwiches, to muffins, to milkshakes. I had the banana muffin which was fresh and moist, I liked that it came with butter which I could melt on the muffin to get a nice salty-sweet combo. The coffee and chocolate milkshakes I tried were both delicious and all the rest of the meals in our party looked great. Service was good and our server was friendly.

Visited after lunch some sweet treats. My wife ordered the lemon meringue shake, I tasted some and it was so good. Sadly alot of things were sold out (scones, carrot cake, apple crumble) but I suppose late on a Sunday afternoon it's expected. What we did order was the kids flap jacks, red velvet cheesecake and lemon meringue. The flap jack was light and fluffy, my daughter loved it. The meringue was fresh and so zesty. The cheesecake was so smooth and fresh, honestly speaking one of the best Mugg & Bean cake experiences I have ever had.

What a great venue for a breakfast with overseas visitors with the V&A harbor and the magnificent Table Mountain in the background. Our visiting friends loved it. The muffins as a take home are the BEST in Cape Town.
