This Woolworths café is not bad. Service was polite and quick. I ordered a flat white with bacon 🥓, egg 🍳 & toast. It was all good. The eggs made medium, as per my order. And the bacon was made perfectly crisp.

One of the better Woolies cafes in terms of service -something that seems especially prominent at other branches. Food was good. Had a frozen lemonade and their Turkish Flatbread with hummus and chicken - great combination of flavours.

Had a lovely bite to eat while enjoying the music from outside (there was an event on). The service was friendly but would not let us sit outside on a glorious sunny day for no reason other than 'the door is locked' which was a trifle disappointing. I went with my boyfriend and we both enjoyed delicious coffee. He has the cheesecake which is out of this world and I had a coconut and white chocolate slice which was tasty but slightly insipid. Still it is a lovely cafe and great for a quick meal.

Small but still spacious, was very busy on a Friday afternoon. Had a very quick in and out meeting but this vegetable soup with a dollop of pesto, stopped the conversation. R35 and as big as a bath tub - literally I don't think the pictures do it justice. Service was a little slow especially on bringing the bill but would return for this soup any day.

The woolies cafe in melrose arch is possibly my favourite of all woolies cafe. For breakfast, lunch or tea time, there's always a reason to visit. My favourite breakfast is toast with peanut butter and jelly, a hazelnut latte or a white hot chocolate. Woolies make the BEST white hot chocolate - it is always SO creamy and so yummy.

When the sun decides to shy away, leaving a blanket of clouds in its place - I naturally want to be comforted with a hot beverage. As I was indulging in some retail therapy, I found myself sniffing a rather rich and intoxicating smell. It was a mixture of cinnamon, vanilla and almond.

As I approached the smell, my nostrils were positively satisfied. I investigated where the source of my frantic inhaling was coming from, and I finally found the source: Woolworths Cafe. Regardless of the fact that there was a rather long queue ahead of me, I was determined to sample what I had been profusely smelling.

I ultimately went with a chai latte and in no less than five minutes my tastebuds were also satisfied. Unlike some places, their hot beverages are not watered down and bland. Every sip is heightened from the last.

I was never drawn to these outlets before but I decided to give it a try when I couldn't get a table at my usual spot. I ordered the stir fried beef and boy was I blown away, it was delicious. Also had one of their smoothies to go, I'm a regular now.

My hunt for great sushi around the Greenstone area continued with a visit to the Woolwoths Cafe.

I was very impressed that they actually have a station dedicated to the sushi chefs. Loved the great selection of various sushi dishes available and they are slightly cheaper. The sushi was yummy as well. One gripe I have with these takeaway sushi dishes is the very limited amount of soy sauce that they give you.

I have been a couple of times at the Woolworths Cafè for coffee but this morning I just decided to have something to eat. I didn't crave for my usual bites from Tasha's or Grand Central so I decided to give the café a go. I ordered from their breakfast menu and by all means I wasn't dissapointed at all. It was it worth it.

I think Woolworths Cafe in Melrose Arch is definitely an under-appreciated spot that easily gets ignored simply because it can be difficult to notice on the corner. Having been there a few times for lunch I can safely say their service is great and their menu, while on the smaller side compared to some of their neighbors, still has a great range of options. I've always appreciated their sandwiches and burgers, however the downside is that they've been out of stock of a number of things on the days that I've been there. Still worth a visit though, especially if you're looking to escape the long lines its neighboring restaurants may attract and get right down to the business of eating.

Just had an amazing watermelon salad - the combo of candied feta, mixed leaves, cucumber and quinoa goes very well on a hot day like today. I am not a fan of mixed balsamic and olive oil, so perhaps provide them separately. I am going to frequent Woolies cafe for this meal.

I also tried a frozen lemonade (mint and cucumber flavour). Very refreshing and perfect flavour.

The new menu looks exciting and appealing, especially the addition of exotic teas.

I am such a Woolies cafe fan! The best place to pop in for a quick, wholesome lunch and a good cup of coffee. The staff are always friendly and it has a nice busy atmosphere.

Service is always good. The waitress was very friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food. My mom had the chicken liver salad, she said it was average, and they did not mention chicken liver had a batter on it. She said it was not as nice as she has had it before at other woolies. I had the italian toastie with tomato and basil. This was really nice, enjoyed it a lot! The carrot cake is absolutely delicious, moist and the icing is a great cream cheese mixture. Definitely recommend the cake.

Its always going to be a tough sell to convince your friends to go to Woolworths Cafe when you are surrounded by fantastic restaurants like Tashas, Grand Central and Rocomamas but I must say that the Woolworths Cafe holds its own. The prices are reasonable and the food is well prepared. The coffee is that Woolworths quality that we've all become accustomed to.

The Woolworths Cafe is very good. The manager and staff are very good and the coffee is fantastic. I would definitely go back again in my opinion and you get to sit outside and enjoy the sun .

Woolies is woolies: you kinda know that quality is a given and that familiar yumminess is the name of the game. Nothing groundbreaking about what's on offer but it's all good. Harvest table damn expensive though for what is essentially a buffet....

I really like the variety offered on the drinks and food menu at Woolies Cafe. It really has something for everyone: from the sweet fan to the more health conscious, regardless of your choice, you'll know everything is served using fresh Woolies ingredients. Before or after a shop at the store you can easily pop in for a visit to the cafe. I have never had a bad experience in dealing with the staff either.

One of the best places to get fresh food suited to a clean diet. They always accommodate my vegan diet by changing items on their menu to suit me. I love their fresh smoothies and veggie juices. I keep going back!

A nice, quiet venue for a Saturday morning breakfast.

My omelette (avo, chargrilled corn, chicken instead of bacon) was cooked to perfection) and my gingerbread latte was the business.

Service was great, kitchen was a tad slow but otherwise a worthy meal for the price.

Woolworths Cafe is great for a quick breakfast or lunch, and is the least busy place on the Melrose Arch Piazza.
The food here is of the usual great Woolworths quality.
The service can be a bit sluggish if they are slightly busier than normal.
I'd recommend trying out the Frosted Latte which is delicious, and either the Honeyglazed bacon and chicken with honey mustard mayo with avo sandwich on rye or the Salmon & cream cheese on rye.

Woolworths is known never to compromise on the quality of their products - you can taste this for yourself at their cafés.

A good place to go for a quick breakfast or a light lunch - think salads and sandwiches.

The interior is understated and there aren't waiters running around like at most other restaurants in Melrose.

The coffee here is excellent and the baristas aren't afraid to customize your hot drink for you on your request.

A nice place for a solo excursion as it is tucked away on the piazza and not filled with noisy diners.

Reasonably priced Certainly caters to the tourist public, with familiar products. Not a place, if you're looking for authentic S. Africa products

They had amazing cloths but did not have what I was looking for which was a maxi dress that was modest and beautiful at the same time. It was very small as well compare to some considering that it’s in a very nice area
