Try the Columbian Red Velvet Espresso is free!! This quaint restaurant brings you flavours from around the world and only serves breakfast. The portion sizes are generous and food ranges from R40 to R90. The decor is creative and simple with disjointed pieces all over. Linked to the coffee shop is a beer brewery which opens only on Saturdays. The art and sculptures are beautiful. I tried an omelette and we all shared various breakfasts. We all tried all the free expressos they had to offer
We visited Oakes Brew House after the modderfontein Parkrun. There is seating outside on larger benches or you can sit inside (it is quite small inside so it can get crowded). The menu is written on a chalkboard inside the cafe, and the menu is quite simple but caters for a variety of tastes. I had a black americano with caramel syrup, my husband had a cappuccino with vanilla syrup. For breakfast we both went with the banting special, with is half an avo, crispy diced bacon, cheese and 2 eggs. Food is tasty and the prices are affordable. There are also coffee beans available for purchase. Service is friendly, but it can get slow if there are many people. Will go back when I am in the area again.
We have been here on a few occasions and love the casual environment, good food and outdoor space. However the service could be improved. We had to look for a waiter to order and get the bill. Perhaps better training and more staff would help. But still enjoy going there.
Tried this little gem tucked away in Modderfontein for breakfast. The atmosphere, service and coffee was good. The food was okay. Will stop by again to try out lunch.
Oakes Brewhouse in Modderfontein is a quaint little spot offering craft beers and delicious coffee roasts. This was also the first all-girl brewery in Modderfontein founded in 2013.
I have made trek twice now to sample their flagship Butt Stout, but sadly on both visits now, they have not had it available. Instead I tried their: Oakes Wise Beer (Weiss), The American Pale Ale and The Easy Blonde.
On the coffee side, El Salvador Quetta and the Ugandan Roast were both delicious, but the El Salvador was definitely my favorite!
*Recommendation: For those of you into your craft beers and coffees, Oakes is definitely worth a stop over the weekend!

My sister and I visited both the brewery and the coffee shop this afternoon and it was lovely. Firstly, the beer brewery was delightful. The staff on duty was so friendly and allowed us to taste the beers. I enjoyed the easy blond and wise beers, so I ended up buying a couple for taking home. And at R35 each, they were worth it.
Secondly, we drove around the corner to the cafe/coffee shop. What I love is that they roast their own coffee beans. We weren't hungry so my sister had an iced cafe latte and I had an iced americano. We chose the strongest beans they had, which were the Columbian roast. It was good but certainly not the best coffee I've had. I loved the atmosphere and the staff on duty were also just so amazing and friendly. I like that its away from the hustle and bustle and would definitely recommend it as a nice work environment too.
I love the quaint, old-world suburb of Modderfontein. Located within spitting distance of my home in Edenvale, it gives you the sense of being in a cutesy, little village. And nestled amidst the tall pine trees lies a fantastic place called Oakes Brew House. Oakes is famous for its own brand of craft beer and coffee brewed by an all female team!
Great coffee in a lovely café setting, really great atmosphere. Wide variety of food to choose from to suit your appetite. Nothing beats being able to sit and enjoy it in the sunshine!
Absolutely love this place! Great venue if you want to be outdoors and away from the hustle and bustle. To start off you get a free beer tasting at the brewery on site, not the best beer I've had but still a great touch. The food is great - the pizzas are massive and absolutely delicious! Service was great! Cant wait to go back!
Love love love Oakes! Had a fantastic coffee tasting today. Both me and my dad enjoyed the morning coffee aromas and great service. Truely a great selection of fresh roasted beans and plenty of yummy menu choices, enjoy
Oaks brew house is a very calm and open place from the weekend breakfast till the Friday candle light. It's having lot of open space for open dining and the bar in the basement. One of the best thing is probably the openness of the place. I enjoyed the lunch there and spend few hours there. The quality of food is tops and I had one of the best penaculada. Focasha was also very nice a crispy fresh and pasta was also nice.
Lovely little brew house in the middle of the east rand, they have a limited selection of craft bear and a lovely menu to go with the alcohol.
The establishment is set in a little house of sorts with a garden to accommodate customers. Really lovely sitting outside on a summers day with good friends and good food.

Great venue, large menu, great food and please try their bubble bread
I visit here often after cycling at Modderfontein Reserve. Service a bit slow but food ad venue more than makes up for it. Try the French Toast.
