Stopped here for coffee after a long workday travelling the Cape peninsula. It's a deli café coffee shop type of place. Service was good. Coffee is spot on. The carrot cake stood out as one of the best I've eaten - highly recommended. Tried the cheesecake aswell which was delicious. Great spot to get your coffee fix and for those with a sweet tooth.
Don't go here if you're planning a quick cup of coffee or breakfast as the service is sluggish. Food is typical and consistent at this restaurant. However certain items on the menu can be unexciting, so choose carefully. Buffets are great and cost effective.
I'm glad I didn't read the reviews of this Melissa's before coming here or I may not have come at all which would have been such a pity!
We had a lovely afternoon tea here with the friendliest service I've had in ages. The lady serving us was so kind and concerned about my food allergies and made an effort to find out exactly what I could and couldn't eat off the menu.
I ended up sharing a slice of the carrot cake with a friend and it was absolutely the best carrot cake I've had in a long time. My soy milk hot chocolate was perfect in this cold weather and the Nutella mochachino is a real treat.
Not sure if issues arise when you order actual meals off the menu, but I'd recommend coming for tea and cake here any day.
Great coffee, friendly and quick service. Great black velvet cake. Seating outside is lovely on a bright summers day in Constantia Village.
I was hesitant to go to Melissa's given the lukewarm reviews. I went in to find cute decor and lots of yummy foods on display. I'm not sure if they always allow breakfast at lunch but I had the omelette with mushrooms and a soya cappucino. The omelette was huge and I couldn't finish it - I'm not sure how many eggs they put in!. The ingredients tasted fresh and light. Really enjoyed it. The soya cappucino was great. The waiter was nice and attentive. The food took a little long to come but it was hot and tasty when it did.
Melissa's is the ever consistent restaurant. Service is friendly and quick. Coffee's are well made and large. Breakfasts are fresh and filling. Parking is ample and the restaurant is family friendly.
I've been going to Melissa's since I was a kid as it's close to where I grew up. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is a cozy, relaxed one and their food is amazing. They make delicious hot chocolate and croissants!
Lovely spot for breakfast or to get some work done. The Smoothies and take away food are yummy!
Excellent breakfast and lunch place for the healthier eaters. Also good for a cup of coffee. The food shop has an excellent selection of higher end organic options as well as some more sinful high quality ice creams. Plenty of parking.
Lovely breakfasts and lunch buffet if you don't feel like ordering from the menu.
Good selection of deli type products on offer.
I recommend sitting outside on the covered porch as it can get noisy inside.
I like it because it's not in the actual shopping centre, giving it a slightly independent feel. And the coffee is good. Food also good, but a little pricey when you make your own plate, see picture.
I have lunch here often with either my daughter or my friend. I love that it sells imported things from the UK that I can't find anywhere else. in winter the home made minestrone soup is a meal in itself
Great breakfast selection with really great juices and smoothies. Lovely setting in constantia with really great ambience. Coffee was very strong though. Good value
Lovely venue we sat on enclosed stoep Cappucino was great and chocolate brownie and muffin excellant service was good. Also a easy venue for elderly or someone with broken foot
Friendly staff. Quiet atmosphere. Great playlist. Lovely coffee. Small but good selection of tea.
Very good food served here. Sold by weight so if you eat little, you pay less!
Now called M's. New owners took over on 1st June 2019 and their service is outstanding as are their food options
Great place to stop if you having a coffee ride. Menu is healthy and is generally well priced.
Great food always fresh. Friendly staff. Busy and bustling
Price sensitive and good quality food served by friendly staff.
