BEST Eggs Benedict in the world 🤤, vibe is cool, staff are incredibly friendly, and food is great! Not to mention they make a killer chai latte 😻
Service a bit slow but not terrible.

They offer a very well-rounded menu with really tasty and wholesome dishes for the whole family.
And their gorgeous, fresh cakes looked so enticing it almost tempted this Banter into trying a slice!
Very affordable for top notch foods, a really lovely atmosphere, and friendly service. The perfect breakfast spot for Burgundy Estate locals and their kiddies.
Plus they do absolutely perfect poached eggs - which is always a win in my book!
Well worth a visit.

The breakfast (low carb breakfast) and the coffee were delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming here again for another breakfast.

There seems to be some mixed reviews about this place, however I have never had a horrible experience here. They have a lovely affordable menu with lots of options ranging from all day breakfast to burgers and many sweet treats. We ordered a Mexican mince quessadilla and a chicken, camembert and avo gourmet sandwich. Although there was a mix up with my order the food was delicious and worth the wait.

Amazing coffee and very friendly staff. Appropriately priced meals with special touches. Though we didn't try them, they sell giant cookies that look tasty. They also advertize a flapjack tower that I would go back for.

I’ve only ever had good experiences at Love Cake. The breakfasts are nice, and the cakes quite yummy.
I’ll definitely be going back to try more of their food.
Just wish they were open a little longer.

Quaint little place almost hidden from view at a small open air mall. Nice interior ambiance with a country home feel. Cappuccinos are good, if you enjoy slightly stronger cappuccinos. Had the breakfast stack, it was delicious. I would however have liked it to come with one more rasher of bacon, I had to eat the last sweetcorn cake without egg or bacon. Overall a very nice experience.

Super cozy atmosphere inside with beautiful cakes on display. Friendly and prompt staff. The waffles I had were slightly stale and a bit of a let down, it felt as though they were warmed from frozen.

Warm and Friendly ambience... and golly gosh, the best breakfast spot I've found in the Northern Suburbs by far!!! Creamy scrambled eggs, fresh smoked salmon... on a crispy toasted farmhouse slice... heavenly. The decor is lively and feel good! The perfect little hidden gem to visit when you are feeling down and need a pick me up. Well done guys, you totally deserve your 5 stars x

Where do I even begin with this gem of a place! We discovered this little piece of heaven last year when we stayed in Cape Town for a week. And each time we fancy good food and amazing cake we always make a detour to Love Cake. You have to try their homemade burgers and best of all their red velvet cheesecake. I'm not a fan of cheesecake so this is the ideal type for me. Yummy moist sweet cake and the semi sweet cheesecake to balance it out. Devine!

I love this place. It's a super querky spot, the decor is so tasteful and welcoming. All the baked cakes always look so fresh and the presentation of the drinks and food plating is impressive. We popped in for a quick cappucino I have had the breakfast before a little bit above average prices but worth it for the freshness and portion size. It's a nice close to home breakfast spot and fills up quickly. The only reason I don't rate it higher is because the staff are expressionless and a bit distant and because of its location in a small centre.

Lovely little breakfast place, the food is great and well priced. I love a good eggs Benedict and this is one of the best I've had. The space is beautiful, and very cosy. The service can be slow, and never quite sure if the bill is coming to me, or if I'm going to it. However you're not hovered over and can gake tour time to eat, have tea or chat. Their cake is great, so even of you have savoury food, I always get cake to go, to take home for a snack later on. Give it a go, wonderful weekend breakfast spot

This is my favourite breakfast spot! Hidden gem in the middle of Burgundy Estate, their food is value for money and always high quality and their service is good. The eggs Benedict is a must try, and their Italian hot chocolate is amazing. Great selection of cakes on offer too. Definitely worth a visit.

I don't have a single complaint about Love Cake Coffee. Every dish I've tasted has been delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are lovely. Whether you're stopping in for a slice of cake or lunch with a friend, this place is always a hit.

A nice little nook that serves a decent breakfast. I would upgrade the benches on the walls with padding to improve the look and feel, but overall a happy experience.

We found Love Cake Café on Entertainer App with a pretty good menu and decided to take a drive out to try them. The coffee was good - You get a massive cup for R25, and the burgers were decent too. I had the grilled chicken burger with a very different pesto mayo sauce, my girlfriend took a beer and camembert burger. Their prices are affordable as well, and service isn't too bad - It could be a little faster though, but never the less, a cute little coffee shop with decent food. Definitely want to try them again!

What a lovely spot for tea and treats with the girls. I had the hot chocolate (which was literally a cup of thick, molten chocolate that you eat with a spoon) and the low carb brekkie (not because I'm a Banter, but the mushrooms, poached egg and bacon was all I needed in life). Everything was delicious and the service was decent. A great spot to meet up with friends!

Its my Saturday morning ritual, to go have a coffee or a brekkie at Love Cake. 
From the incredible Love Burgers, to their eggs Benedict, Love Cake has become a hit with my family and I - and we love spending our time there. The service is great, and the comfy feeling with its home style decor, gives you a relaxed and welcome atmosphere to enjoy your food. Service tends to be a little slow at times, but considering that its always busy - and its run by the waitrons I understand why. All in all a good experience to start your weekends off.

Had a lovely lunch here this afternoon. It is often so difficult to decide what to choose as they have such a great menu with too many tasty options. I usually go for a bacon and Camembert wrap, butternut salad, or burger, but today I chose a quesadilla.. It was yummy! The staff are friendly, the food is very tasty, and I simply love the way they've done up the little restaurant. It is so quaint, and my girlfriends and I love coming here for tea and cake. The cakes and delicacies are always fresh and delicious. Worth the visit.

One of the quaintest spots, hidden in burgundy is certainly one of the best breakfast and coffee places. It's not a place you run in and out of, food takes a little while but is worth every bite A great place to catch up with friends!

For a small spot in a random shopping center, the meal here was surprisingly good. Took my mom and had eggs Benedict and cappuccinos. The eggs were well made, bacon was a tad saltier than expected, cappuccino was suitably well made. It's not fine dining, but no real complaints. Staff were friendly and attentive, service was a bit slow, but ultimately I would go again for a lazy meal.

Hands down the best carrot cake south of the equator!!! Good quality coffee rounds out the treat not to mention the friendly service. I've going there for a while and the overall quality has not gone down since they opened. Their wraps and homemade pies are pretty good too. There is also a kids play area conveniently located right outside.

A cute little cake and coffee spot, with a play area outside for the kids.
The hot chocolate was good, as was the cake.

Despite the slightly inattentive staff, we will no doubt return to try something more substantial.

You definitely need to try this place.... if you have time to read what my experience was So today i visited Love Cake Cafe. Been to the establishment a few times before and can concur that everything overall is consistent and well managed. From the time we walked in we were created with a smile and given options of where we would like to be seated. After a nano second someone came around to ensure that our drinks order has been taken and i asked that we be given a few minutes as we have not as yet decided, which was received unbelievably welcoming. I think the only thing that was slightly not a 5/5 was the condition of the menu's (and maybe not being wiped down before reaching me), which is completely understandable as they handle a lot abuse, firstly from customers and then also the staff when wiping them down. With that said i can confirm they definitely were not anything less than a 4/5. We had then placed our meal and drinks orders. I had a Red Latte with The Love Burger and opted for the Rustic chips to go with that. My mom had a Beacon and Cheese sandwich on Rye bread and selected a salad as a side to eat and a single shot Espresso. Drinks were delivered in a record time each served with a small heart shape fresh crumbly sweet biscuit. The honey my tea was served with seemed to have just been washed off, maybe because it was tacky, but never wiped dry and caused me to struggle while opening. Soon after the food arrived and at first glance was presented really well and literally made my mouth water and i could not wait to dive right in. And boy was i not disappointing.... Ingredients used were fresh, lettuce was crunchy. Carimalised onions had the required crunch in the centre of the onion to show it was not overcooked or made too long ago. Then there is the star of the burger, the patty. Meat was extremely fresh and at no point did i get a hint the patty was frozen. The patty throughout was juicy and wanting me to take another bite. The rustic chips were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way it should be. My mom then offered me half of her sandwich and my thoughts on that... it was really good. The beacon was fried off separately to a point where it was almost crispy which gave the sandwich some extra body. I am not too sure how they prepare the sandwich but the outside was a little bit greasy which indicated to me that they use butter on the outside and there are non stick option available that would retain the crispiness on the outside to avoid that greasiness, but overall great. After getting my food i asked for Tabasco sauce and unfortunately the neck was not clean, but nothing terrible. The Manager/Owner had me a little worried and she visited the table next to me, a while later she went to the table opposite me and i got worried as she didn't seem like she was coming to me. I can however confirm that she made her way to our table to ensure everything was satisfactory and welcomed us, which is always a great personal touch. I even saw her assisting and serving/ taking things to table, which is always good to see. The staff are amazing and always kind, professional and generally happy, well groomed and always a pleasure to be served by them. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and clean with an amazing buzz coming from the happy visitors. If you have never been i would definitely recommend you try them.

Great food and 2 minutes from home. The only other place to hang out other than bossa in Burgundy. Very cute and my waitress is wonderful. Offer Wi-Fi and a great, quiet place to sit and work during the week. Recommend bird in a nest on the menu. Different and so tasty!

Love Cake is a charming coffee shop that serves great tasting food and excellent coffee at a reasonable price. The service is great and the decor local and relaxed. The cake can also be bought as takeaway portions, they host small events (baby showers etc) and they have a loyalty program as well. A large jungle gym positioned just outside is perfect for the kids.

These guys clearly do love cake. They do it really well and they serve large slices! Shame they don't also love comfortable furnishings. Not somewhere to go and chill for long. But a quick slice of cake and a coffee will not leave you disappointed.

Great Service - sadly dissappointed in the schnitzel portion size vs price. Way too much salad (presumed to fill the plate - wouldn't order the schnitzel if I wanted a salad.) Otherwise friendly service, good coffee and cake
