Delicious food. Awesome kids area for slightly younger kids and a great painting zone. Definitely worth a visit even if it’s not around the corner, it’s worth a drive.
State 5 has a great ambience and we enjiyed the service of the friendly waiters. The menu spoils you with choice and we enjoyed pizza’s, wraps and their own home made ice tea! What I do recommend is that they keep the playground for the kiddies (which is lovely) a bit cleaner and get someone to sweep there so it looks a bit more inviting. But we were there late afternoon so maybe thats to blame? They also have a stunning changing/feeding room for the mommies!
have eaten brekkie here before and it's great: food, service, music is tops. Stepped out my normal zone and had a Potato Rosti bfast(it's got AVO!!..not my fav). It was amazing. the layers of rosti, bacon, avo, poached egg and sour cream came together amazingly. New experience for me(avo in food) but really really blew my tastebuds. Highly recommended
This is a nice place to take the kids on a lazy Sunday afternoon, you can relax and they can play 😁
We had some pizza and finished off with desserts when we visited - the pizza was ok not the best I ever had but the bread pudding was definitely one to go for!
They have a range of their own coffees which can be purchased on site so something you should definitely try out, the flavor range is quite diverse and great.
The atmosphere is wonderful, something you can add to the list if you like me are always looking for kid friendly places that you can enjoy as well.
On Monday I stopped at State 5 for their breakfast special ... 2 eggs, bacon, toast, chips and roasted tomatoes. PLUS a fabulous cappu - all for R40!
It's a lovely spot sitting outside under the trees and smelling the pizza wood fire ... I ordered a double shot cappu thinking I'll have to pay extra. I didn't have to and boy, it was deeeelicious!
For the breakfast, I asked for scrambled eggs. It came with 2 baked eggs. Sigh. But they took the plate back and changed it.
Lovely spot for kids and a little shop where kids can paint ceramic ware while parents sip something hot or cold.
Nice setting with kids activities.staff friendly.ordered their house burger and was great. Wife on the other hand didn't enjoy her pull chicken wrap. Was dry and very less filling. Nonetheless, will definitely be back again.
Whenever we try a kiddie friendly restaurant, we try not to expect too much from the food. We opted for the burgers 🍔 and they were actually pretty good. The kiddies choices are pretty predictable and we also opted for the burger. It was ok. The venue is fab as the little ones can get lost in the many play areas available to them with child minders. This allowed us to indulge in a gourmet shake, orange and chocolate, a little sweet but perfect for those with a sweet tooth 😉
Great, secure play area for kids split into two age groups (below 3 and over 3). Lovely extensive cafe-style menu. Freezos and the wood-fired pizzas are divine. Service isn't consistent however it is quite a relaxed vibe and most kid's orientated restaurants don't have the best service unfortunately. My new favourite kiddies' restaurant!
Slow brewed ice coffee is awesome.
Great value for money.
Usually when you order ice coffee it is very small i.e. Mugg and Bean
At state 5 the ice coffee is served in a jam jar and you can really enjoy the taste.
Syrups can be added, but not necessary.
Did menu had a wide range of choices.
Tried the yiro.
Was really good.
Another time I tried their chicken pasta, also very good.
Price is quite reasonable.
Seating outside is well shaded and staff are very attentive.
Best omlette EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT atmosphere
Terrific staff and service
Manager friendly and welcoming
Will definitely be back
Highly recommended
Awesome place, great food, awesome service. Brilliant child minders too.
Pizzas are just plain fantastic. Really enjoyable evening was had by all.
Definitely will go there again.

after seeing some reviews mentioning slow turnaround times, i came here expecting a bit of a wait for everything. we decided that seeing as we were up early, we would try go for breakfast for the first time since our son's birth (2.4 years). what a pleasant place. it was rather busy at 10am and there were kids all over the play area. the service was spot on (missed our order for a hot chocolate, but when asked the waiter ran away and appeared with it in a few minutes). the food was good and i feel like even though the breakfast things were real nice (i had the mothercuppa breakfast), i really liked the toasted ciabatta that came with it. they people watching the kids while the parents eat are fantastic and aren't just standing around and twiddling their thumbs, they actually interact with the kids who are playing. we felt comfortable enough to let our son play in the play area without having to worry about him getting hurt or running away or being abducted. sitting next to the play area was fun for us too, as watching the kids play around there was like an entertaining tv show. the food is nice and not overpriced (R99 for my breakfast, which was the fanciest one there i think). the coffee is good too, which is another bonus, because food places often fall flat when making coffee.
we'll definitely pop in again when we get a chance.
Nice environment. Nice play areas for kids.
Great service. Average food.
I had the speciality pizza and it was OK but did not come across as a speciality.
Parking is an issue during busier times.
Excellent service and food, great prices, awesome menu for kids too! Will definitely be back.
State 5 was a pretty decent place to have some food. We were welcomed and assisted immediately and seated at a table outside. There were quite a few flies around us, but they didn't bug (heh) our table yet.
The vibe of the place was lovely. Relaxed. We didn't feel rushed to order at all and took our time looking at the menu. Received our drinks very fast. Food did take a bit longer to arrive, but our waiter apologized for it in advance. Unfortunately our pizza came with ingredients we asked our waiter to leave off. Not a trainsmash though. Easy enough to take off ourselves. But someone with allergic to something would've had a bad time. However I'm sure they'd have no problem to accommodate someone with food allergies.
Prices are decent. Service is friendly. And the kiddies play area looks quite decent. Children playing there definitely seemed to enjoy themselves. Saw two child minders and they had their eyes on the children nearly the whole time we were there.
What a great experience thank you for the kind service and delicious food!
Great place to take kids so you can have a break, good coffee and food but can take a while before food gets to your table have been a couple of times and it is always the same slow to get orders to table so normally have cold pizza. Milkshakes are good and play areas are nice.
Amazing service. Friendly staff Loved the atmosphere.
Fantastic coffee. I'd recommend the cold brew coffee. I had a chicken wrap which was extremely tasty. It is a family restaurant so if you'd prefer a quiet meal maybe give this a pass.
Had breakfast there with friends. Good food. Great entertainment and supervision for children. Felt at ease letting the little ones play in the play areas.
