Yesterday ( Mother's Day) was just the most beautiful autumn day in Cape Town. We popped in at Chardonnay Deli for coffee, only to be tempted by an extravagant display of delicious cakes. The apple pie had a generous filling and was very tasty. The passion fruit cheese cake was one of the best I have tasted. Service was excellent too, even though they were very busy. We will certainly visit this special spot again.

I LOVE Chardonnay Deli for the vibe and ambiance. I'm vegan so their vegan nut cake is to die for ! I always have a decaf flat white with soya or almond milk. They have an extensive menu written on a blackboard but I haven't sampled it yet. Grant the front of house Manager is so friendly and helpful. I love his chic dresscode with his bowtie! The deli options as sit down or takeaway are plentiful :)
What a delightful little spot! Amazing venue, quaint and rustic and amazing service.
The front of the deli doesn't tell of the secret garden at the back. What a lovely Sunday treat! The food is excellent, the service friendly and good. We will definitely be returning.
It is such a cute, friendly cafe which has a really nice outside area at the back where you can sit in the sun or on the shade. The food I had was simple - just avo on toast - but it was also simply delicious. The staff are very friendly and the service is fast.

Lovely venue, friendly staff, fresh ingredients, delicious and generously portioned meals. Priced just right. Their coffee is also excellent. I'd also recommend trying their confectionery - very tasty cheese cake. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Cape Town. They knock the socks off other establishments which tend to downgrade the quality of their ingredients and shrink their portions over time. Chardonnay Deli consistently impress me, at each and every visit. Can't wait to visit their soon to be launched Dalebrook Café in Kalk Bay.
Such an amazing place to eat and also buy fresh organic groceries. The baked cakes are amazing along with everything else. If you are looking for a farm style breakfast or lunch or just a quick coffee I highly recommend.
Wonderful setting. Tasty food. Generous portions. Excellent bread. Yum cake. Sadly unlicensed. But that is the only sad thing. Try it. Their breakfasts are lovely too.
We met for a quick bookclub meeting, it was a late Saturday afternoon so a lot of the baked goods were sold out but I was okay with that because it means more than likely their stuff is just super fresh. While our orders were a solid 3.5 Stars, the staff were definitely worth an extra half a star. I’ll have to try it again to make sure I’m not
Being to generous ;)
We came by for takeaway cake and found the staff rocking out to some cool music. Look like they really enjoy working at the deli. I really enjoyed the yoghurt cake, but the cheesecake was a bit sweet and less tangy than we expected. I'd go back to try the other interesting sounding cakes.
Finally made a plan to try this little gem out and it was definitely worth the trip. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is friendly and welcoming, and there are seating options inside or outside amongst some beautiful Greenery.
We visited for lunch and they have a daily specials board that you order from. We opted for the bacon and mozzarella croissant and the tomato and basil soup. Not that it was a contest, but if it was, the soup would have won by far - truly the best tomato soup I've ever had. A bonus is that it is served with thick cuts of their delicious homemade bread (which you can purchase from the deli).
The cheesecake was highly recommended and it definitely delivered! The caramel cheesecake is the best I've had in Cape Town so far.
Everything from the decor, menu options, deli and wonderful staff made it such a pleasant experience.
If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a regular

This lovely farm stall cafe which is located just a stones throw away from Constantia village serves up lovely rustic and healthy meals. And if that's not enough, there is an array of decadent delights in the deli that tempt you as soon as you walk in!
I had breakfast wth a friend here this morning. The place was busy (clearly very popular) and there were no seats inside so we sat outside in the garden area. Because of the rain, a cover was put up and there were also two heaters which kept all the diners cosy. The staff offer blankets as well for extra warmth. I'm sure sitting outside would be even better in summer when it's hot outside.
The drinks menu is available at the table. We both had a cuppa Truth coffee! As far as the menu goes, the focus is clearly for the health-conscious and also boasts plenty of vegetarian options. The options are presented on a blackboard at the one end of the cafe. To eat, my friend had a health bowl with extra honey and enjoyed it - she said she'd give it a solid 4/5. I opted for the Benedict (Single English muffin slice with ham, LOTS of avocado, soft poached eggs and spinach sauce). I found the sauce watery but the meal as a whole was good.
The service was okay. We had to constantly signal someone to come help us when we wanted to order and pay for the bill though.
First time at Chardonnay Deli. Breakfast, although a bit pricey for a breakfast meal, was really lovely! I had the Avo Smash which is a delightful twist on Eggs Benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached. My husband had the "Piggy Breakfast" which he also said was good. Lovely setting.
Absolutely stunning experience celebrating my grannies birthday. Staff are super friendly and so accommodating to those that are quite old. Sat outside in the beautiful winter sunshine. The staff added a personal touch by writing happy birthday onto my grannies cheesecake plate. She absolutely loved it. Best cheesecake in the world as well, with a huge variety to select from. Restrooms were nice and clean.
Shop has a huge variety of locally sourced products too.
Dangerous. Proceed with caution. Bakery is unbelievable!
Almond milk flat white is right up there. We had green juice and a Nutella hot chocolate which was admittedly average. The scone is the real show stopper. Preferred the cheese to the cream but both were too delicious for words. Must do 👌🏼
If you're not yet a carrot cake fan, you definitely will be once you've tried a slice from Chardonnay Deli! A generous portioned serving that's more than enough to share, this well-priced treat is topped with cream cheese frosting that's made just right. A second visit in a matter of months? I can vouch that it's certainly worth a try again and again. 🥕🥧😉
Slice of heaven with baked goods and nature to top off the cherry 🍒on top of the beautiful restaurant.
From the outside it looks small and just like a bakery but once inside it's spreads outwards. A wooden vibe with a lovely patio feel, walk down to a spacious nature sitting area and enjoy it with drinks, food good company. Staff is very well managed with friendly greetings once you enter the bakery. A wide menu to choose from and freshly homemade pastries 🍰 . Love it here. Will keep going back for more.
Lovely "mothership" restaurant and deli to the Dalebrook Cafe. I will confess to driving here regularly for the phenomenal nutty vegan cake, which is delish and super decadent, as well as being gluten free... So basically salad ;-)
Really great place. Lovely bakery section and outdoor seating. Breakfasts are really good, but sometimes just slightly miss the mark. If it wasn’t for that, would give 5 stars. Would definitely recommend giving it a go!
Extremely close to 5 stars. I think the service maybe would have been the difference. They were ok but not attentive but not horrible.
The good and atmosphere however was incredible. The food was awesome.
Will definitely return. 🙏🙏
One of my favourites for breakfast and lunch. Great thing about the menu is the healthy options. You can see a lot of thought goes into their recipes. Sit inside or outside in their garden. They also have a shop where you can purchase bakery goods, condiments snacks and coffee. Can get very busy on the weekend.
Best white chocolate cheesecake ever. Very good coffee. Beautiful setting.
