What a nice place .... No airs and graces, good food and such a nice vibe about the place. Service good and prices reasonable .... I will be back.
Visited for the first time ever and what an experience. They have introduced a selection of African dishes and was fortunate to have tried two with my partner: Beef Stew and Traditional Chicken (a.k.a. Hardbody). Both were succulent served with Chakalaka, Spinach and Salsa on the side. The starch of our choice was iDombolo which was well prepared as if done eZiko (traditional Zulu oven).
Looking forward to the next visit to listen to some Jazz by McCoy Mrubata and the band.
Had the most amazing birthday dinner for my brothers birthday ... despite my late booking and request for a special event , the staff and owners went out of their way to make it amazing.
Food was great ... according to the birthday boy “one of the best steaks ever” .
I especially enjoyed that the place was kiddy friendly and our waiter Michelle was especially kind to the kids making them feel special.
Will definitely be going back !
The Factory on Grant is more than worth a visit. We have had breakfast, lunch and dinner at this delightful venue.
On a fine day breakfast and lunch are a real treat sitting in the courtyard.
Least night we dined inside because it was a typical jozi winter evening.
As for the food - we enjoyed every dish. The pasta options are seriously good and for starters last night, we had the lobster bisque which was sublime.
We have also found the staff to be friendly and attentive.
If I have to tender any criticism, it would be that the wine glasses are too small. I particularly do not enjoy a good red wine without a generous glass that allows me to enjoy the bouquet as well as the taste
We often come here for breakfast and it is a great place to have a meeting over coffee. Nice relaxed vibe, always able to find a quiet corner for a meeting or to do some work ; nice courtyard for breakfast or lunch. Staff friendly, coffee good. apart from breakfast haven't really tried their other fare but haven't been disappointed with breakfast (although not wowed either); rating it high because one of the most chilled spots in Norwood to catch up/have a meeting/do some work/have a relaxed coffee
Perfect sunset with great music at the rooftop bar area! The service was great and waiting time wasn’t long. The food delectable and Definitely value for money.
3 of us met for breakfast there this morning and each one of us had an excellent meal. The banting bread was superb as was the fantastic service. We sat in the sunny courtyard and the restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming feel about it. We'll definitely be back!
A lovely spot to have breakfast in the courtyard. Travelled from pretoria to meet up with family for breakfast yesterday, we all basically ordered eggs benedict except for 2 people.. being my favourite breakie of all time.. the hollandaise sauce was obsolete.. knowing where to be found.. which was a little disappointing and somehow our toast was soggy, weird without and hollandaise sauce, meaning the poached eggs carried some extra water when it went to the plate.
Otherwise the chicken livers that I tasted were delicious. Friendly wait staff, just a long wait for food and drinks to arrive to the table.
Met a friend for brunch as it almost halfway between us ... loads of tables and much bigger than we thought when we came in from the courtyard. Chose a sunny spot next to the windows which was lovely as it was cold out. Service was friendly & efficient - I had smashed avocado on toast with poached egg which was really good (sorry my photo is a bit blurry & I had only had coffee 😀) and my friend had eggs and bacon which she rated as really good. It was a cosy spot to catch up and our we didn't feel rushed ..
YUM, YUM & YUM! It feels like a different world when you are there. The food is exceptional and very friendly service. Will definitely visit them again soon. Can highly recommend all the tramazini's with a Std. Mocha.

Was writing review and it disappeared. I found The Factory Cafe last year and became a regular on Saturday mornings (usually on my own - and feel very comfortable and at home). The ambience is good - it sort of hums. The Staff are outstanding and they remember one. I love sitting in the small outside courtyard - it could do with some freshening up, maybe a bit more greenery would help. With the somewhat cold days we have experienced over a couple of weekends, I have had to sit inside - again it could do with some freshening up, but it's got a good feel to it. One can also watch the glassblowing which takes place on the one side of the courtyard - interesting. Now, the MOST IMPORTANT fact of all - How is the FOOD?? I find it really good. Presented very nicely always - one can't wait to get ones teeth into it. My Favorite Breakfast/Late Morning meals are their 2 types of Toasted Baskets - one with scrambled egg, etc. and the other with 2 poached eggs, etc. Absolutely Scrumptious. There should be a photo on this page - I have a good one which I shall give to them. I can also vouch for their Beef and Chicken Pregos and their Chips. They have an overall very good menu. The Factory Shop is really worth a visit. Sally Gallagher

What a lovely casual place to enjoy a meal!
The decor is simple but effective, the music is great and at the right volume, the service is friendly & reasonably prompt & the food itself is not only served in generous portions but also reasonably priced & really nice.
There are sofas & there are books and the invitation is to linger. I really enjoyed having lunch here. I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could but I’ll give it a generous 4!

Great service. Good food. Generous portions..Free Wi-Fi.
Amazing view from their "Crafters" bar upstairs, but the service can get a bit slow and inconsistent.. Expensive food

Food was hot and tasty, drinks were on point. Ambience was beautiful. The place is not loud, so you're able to have a decent conversation. There was live music in the evening, tons of fun. Will definitely be visiting the place more regularly.
Such a fun Sunday vibe! Be sure to catch the live music and great cocktails
