Delta Cafe is definitely one of the best places for kids to play and adults to chat without having to worry. There is a big play area for them and a large patch of grass to run around. Food was nice and service was average. Their savory mince on toast is delicious and my brother thought his Nutella pancakes were delicious. We’ll be back soon and recommend it for a breakfast or brunch with friends who have kids!

Drinks are very reasonably priced compared to a lot of other restaurants. Highly recommend the peri peri chicken with chips, tender and spiced to perfection. Family friendly restaurant to accommodate young children in the play area

Awesome service, came on Sunday morning the restaurant was pretty busy. I always worry when I see canines and kids but somehow it all works... Thank you to the gentle brother who serviced us, pity I don’t remember his name but he is one of a kind. Thank you!

POSITIVE: Team is friendly, welcoming and always willing to assist. Place is very easy for children and pets. It is one of the few places in Johannesburg where you don't feel you are in the city. Frequent the place often due to the relaxed atmosphere and well priced food.

Spent a beautiful highveld thunderstorm afternoon at a wedding reception held at this venue. The food was tapas style, focacia, mini steaks & pregos, haloumi, roast chicken and super fresh crispy salad. All served just in time and just prepared. Not an easy task, so top marks for the team.

Great venue for family outings. Lovely setting outside. Great service and the food was just as good. We had a function there and the staff and management were at our beck and call - with smiles on their faces! We had meze type foods, burgers, pregos, quiches - lots of easy hand foods.

Kids love this place too. Lots of space for them to run around. Lots of parking.

I first had the pleasure of Delta Cafe's food at a friend's birthday where from a food truck we were fed till full with delicious hand grab nibbles. Their set up restaurant, tucked away near the Delta Spruit gives way for an outside-the-city feel. Food... simple and pure sensation where every element has been seasoned perfectly. The chips, accompanied by their halloumi burger were fluffy and crisp at the same time - I know right! My eyes were just bigger than my stomach when I asked for extra chicken on my burger. A massive thumbs up and definite return!

So we are newly weds and new parents to a super busy 1year old. He has a mind of his own so every time we go out we always try and go to a place where he would not be stuck in a seat.

We saw Delta Park on the entertainer app and anything with a play area is always music to our ears. We tried it and we loved it and not only because our son could play, but they had a really good coffee. I am still trying to catch up on my sleep so I am always on the look out for a good coffee.

I ordered a really big breakfast and I enjoyed every bit of it. The mince was made in-house, the baked beans had flavor and the halloumi was grilled to perfection. I was straight from the gym so I cleaned that plate out in minutes. So a definitely a "must visit:

I had never been to this little-known cafe tucked in the suburbs of Craighall. I however selected it to host a Bridal Shower because my first option was fully booked and the Delta Cafe venue looked quaint and the "Tea Menu" offered was reasonably price. I was totally bowled over on the day and the event was a great success. The food was more than plentiful and everything was  delicious (their coffee is also really, really good). The service was exceptional - several guests said so - Daniel and the waiting staff really went above and beyond. Needless to say, I'm already plotting my next opportunity to host an event there again!

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Daniel and his caring staff for hosting the attendees, volunteers and therapists from Headway Gauteng (an NGO dedicated to the well being of people with brain injuries ). We had the most awesome morning, and platters piled with delicious food just kept coming! It was a heavenly treat for our guys many of whom seldom have the chance to get out and socialise. And the best of all. .. when we went to pay we were told it was all on the house! Please support this wonderful cafe with a big heart.

Lovely little spot. Outdoorsy and kid/baby friendly and lots of fresh air. Food is tasty and fresh. Staff is friendly. Banting burger option not so great. Wish they would give the broccolli mash a skip and replace with fresh salad stuff. Feta salad amazing. Park at nursery.

Pet friendly rustic restaurant situated right on Delta Park with direct access. Service was quick and friendly. My DC burger was delicious and very tasty.
Good venue for families and highly recommendable. Great walk along the river before or after is worthwhile.

We celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday party at Delta Cafe. It was a wonderful day. Daniel, the owner, was so accommodating with regard to our entertainment and food requirements. All our guests raved about the food, which was delicious! The service was great and as a result we had a very happy relaxed afternoon.

Sweet little spot just off the spruit with a little kids play area. We popped in yesterday for some tea & a treat. A friendly greeting by the owner is always a good start! We had the nutella pancakes which were delicious but their breakfasts also looked good. Plenty of dogs around so pet friendly too if you want to have some tea after a walk along the spruit.

A hidden Jem that you wouldn't believe was in the middle of the suburbs you drive through everyday. Although I was only there long enough to grab a cappuccino and croissant with preserves, I felt transported away from the bustle of JHB. The prices seemed decent and the service was good. Will be back with my family-as horse riding is available to!

Nice little spot nestled in the Delta (hence the name) which is perfect for after cycling. The venue is amid nature, a nursery and the local horses (which can cause smell and fly related problems). The menu is plain and well priced but nothing spectacular. The savory pancakes were lovely and surprisingly filling while the breakfasts are also quite pleasing. Staff aren't particularly friendly and food can be a tad slow, however, the restaurant is run as a REEA foundation charity which makes it a worthwhile place to support. Good for a relaxed weekend.

Went here for a night race, good venue but rather small and not very well marked from the road. Staff are friendly and happy to help. Their prego and steak burgers smell and tastes equally amazing. The only problem I had was the price of a coffee for the size of it, other than that it's a nice little cafe if you looking for somewhere peaceful.

5/5 for location! So refreshing not to be in a mall or looking onto parked cars. Great care to gardens and outdoor setting. Very good basic meals and tasty cappuccinos. However, the rebellious child in me was tempted to misbehave in response to all the strict instructions in the menus and toilets! That said, still a local favourite of mine for the settings.

Delta Cafe is a lovely little spot nestled in the heart of Craighall, next to the meandering delta stream and surrounded by picturesque veld and incredible horses.

Okay it sounds like I'm writing a poem to Delta Cafe, but honestly it's a wonderful restaurant in the most amazing location, a local favourite and a hidden gem. If that isn't enough for you, the food is superb, the staff friendly and its super child friendly (if that's your thing).

An awesome setting, ideal for a weekend get together but suitable for lunch too. Service is fantastic, food is great but takes long to arrive. At -+R100 for their signature burger, chips and coke it isn't cheap. A must try for the burger and open sandwiches though.

Edit: toasted cheese and tomato on brown has become my new favourite from here, unbelievably delicious and great value.

What a relaxed dining experience. So nice to be out in the fresh air and sunshine for a chilled Sunday lunch. The menu is not extensive, but sometimes that is better. Nothing worse than offering every type of cuisine on a menu which just confuses me and makes it hard to decide. The waiters are lovely and not at all pushy, so we didn't feel rushed to order or finish up and go, in fact we were there for a good few hours. I had the chicken Prego for lunch which was juicy and tasty, and the perfect size. The coffees are really good too. Get there early on weekends as they get very busy and you cannot book, and don't forget your vino as they aren't licensed.

I joined a group of friends for a lovely Sunday lunch in the sunshine at Delta Café this weekend. They were unfortunately out of stock on the flatbread that I wanted to eat, but I was very happy with my second choice of a burger. I also tasted the pasta which was delicious. As they don't have a liquor licence, they were very happy to let us bring our own wine and beers.The deck makes a lovely setting. I love that cyclists and walkers are also able to access the restaurant through Delta Park. The waiters are all friendly and lovely to the kids running around. Best of all, they do not rush you at all and allow you to linger. I will definitely be back to try the flatbread!

I was here for a private event so can't comment on the menu, but it's a gorgeous, quaint place that would be perfect to relax at on a lazy, warm Weekend afternoon. I had the best chocolate cheesecake in the entire universe here!! Really!!! And Daniel (in the pic) takes his food seriously and wants you to do the same!! As soon as anyone went near the incredible buffet table he would ask what he could offer them. His irresistible charm is part of the package of this wonderful little gem of a place!!

From my blog 
 Their coffee was amazing, being Bean There coffee… and the barista did the most amazing patterns in my cappuccinos (yes, I had more than one). The lunch was also really good… although we both wished we’d got there 15 minutes earlier to order their breakfast fry-up :) 
I had the salmon fishcakes and salad which was perfect for a weekday light lunch

It’s not very big, and we sat on benches under the trees. They cater for families, and kids… and it’s a cycling and dog friendly spot too… with direct access into the park. The owner chatted to us for a bit and told us that on weekends it’s hectically busy, and they run queues. I can imagine!

Friendly service - beautiful country side setting. Had the rump burger which was delicious and perfectly prepared. They ran out of ice but that was not too much of a problem. A great meeting place for cyclists and walkers - a cyclists haven in fact - don't forget to bring your own wine and drinks because they are not licensed ! Child and animal friendly.

Delta Park Cafe strikes the perfect mood for the location. Unpretentious and friendly. The owners will come chat to you (unless you don't want them to) and bikes and dogs are welcome. The staff are super friendly. It's a great place for kids (jungle gym equipped) and the food is a welcome addition to a walk in Delta Park. Have the Prego. The Colorful Splendor nursery next door is a great place to stock up the garden.

I absolutely adore my little suburb of Craighall Park in Johannesburg. There are tons of little secret spots that in some ways I wish could remain secret, so I could have them all to myself. Sadly though, they all need business to survive and survive they must so I have places to enjoy sunny lunches.

My latest find is Delta Cafe. This gorgeous, mostly outdoors, cafe is situated in the REEA Complex on Marlborough Drive. I recently wrote about another little gem that opened up here, The Bamboo Palace, and if these two new spots are a sign of the awesome things happening in this complex then I’m really excited for the new direction REEA seems to be taking.

Delta Cafe has a small (and tasty) breakfast and lunch menu. They also serve superb coffee and cake and are an ideal stop for anybody visiting Delta Park. Cyclist and runners have fast become fans of this place, and it’s easy to see why too. The food is fresh and wholesome and there are some delicious salad options on the menu too.

Don’t expect gourmet cafe food here, but look to find some really tasty dishes that are perfect in their simplicity and are accompanied by great coffee. I’m not sure if it’s part of the plan, but the cafe doesn’t currently hold a liquor license, so you can take along your own drinks should you wish.

Delta Cafe is open Tuesday to Sunday from 08h00 to 17h00 and can be contacted on 084 509 8084. Their website isn’t up yet, but you can follow their page on Facebook for the time being.

A little gem tucked away in Craighall, Delta Cafe is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. This was the second time I'd had visited Delta Cafe and on both occasions the service has been fantastic, really refreshing to know when Jozi patrons deal with very average service, this place gives you some hope. Try it:-)

This is a charming small and  informal country style restaurant/cafe - think rustic wooden floors with french doors opening onto a wrap around veranda into a beautiful garden on the edge of the park. It is located just off Braamfontein Spruit in Marlborough Rd, and can be difficult to spot - best is to look out for the nursery, and Delta is right next door. 

Surrounded by tall trees and and a flowery garden, it is the perfect place to go if you want to feel like you're out of the city. A simple breakfast and lunch menu makes for hassle free dining, and their coffee is delicious. 

You can take your kids and/or dogs along as there is plenty of outside seating.

Wow how have we not heard about the pizzas here before? AMAZING! And the southern fried chicken burger was also seriously good as well... very impressed. AND it adjoins the park. AND it has a wonderful play area for kids. Have Craighall-Parkers been keeping quiet about this place on purpose?

We had a large group for a Christmas party at Delta Cafe: An absolutely superb evening! Daniel, Shenay and the team were so helpful from the start & gave us different menu options to suit our large party. When the food came it was absolutely delicious. Daniel, you apparently serve the best chicken livers they've ever had in their lives! The staff was attentive, food service was spot on and the whole evening was magical.

The food was delicious especially the meal “the Anderson”. The chicken was nice, soft and juicy with a lot of sauce on it. The meat fell off the bone and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It’s definitely the best chicken I’ve had. The owner is also very friendly and accommodating
