Review Karoo Cafe - Pretoria

The place is lovely, authentic Karoo, quiet and easy and offer early morning meeting and breakfast options, so no need to work at home. Coffee and juices are nice. Service a bit slow, but friendly staff and attentive. I think my Chicken Panini was okay, only criticism is that my chicken tasted a bit funky, but thats to my liking. Otherwise great place, id try something else from the menu next time if I go again

Despite having spent a lot of time in the area over the years, we only visited the Karoo Cafe very recently the first time for brunch and were very impressed. The Klein Karoo breakfast, pumpkin fritters, and lamb pie were all excellent - generous portions and fresh ingredients. Prices were reasonable and the service was also courteous, and we'd definitely be back.

Great place. The food is excellent. There is also a lot of small craft and furniture place situated around the Cafe.

Absolutely LOVE Karoo!! The food is amazing, atmosphere top notch and the service excellent. Plus, for a bookworm like myself, the bookshop is a major plus. Karoo offers so much more than food and a happy atmosphere. Check this hidden gem out for yourself and meet Marshall, the beautiful Great Dane !

Great food...and friendly service...very relaxing!!

As a first time customer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The food here was delicious and the portion sizes were decent. I would definitely say it’s value for money as well. The only downside is that the food did take a bit long to arrive but we were happy with it once it did. Our waitress gave us great service- she was attentive but wasn’t constantly coming to check on us which we appreciated. All the waitresses were friendly and it was good to see that they were aware of the cleanliness of the tables after each patron left. This restaurant definitely has a cool vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed its originality. After our meal we checked out the book shop which I thought was a novel addition to a restaurant. It was good to see how they incorporated elements to make it more eco-friendly, like the aquaponic garden and the septic tank toilet system. It just seems that it might get a bit cold in winter. Overall a great experience. We will definitely be coming back.

Lot's of little shops, beautiful nursery and cozy restaurant with a book store and hand made furniture section, it really feels like your in the Karoo!

The breakfast - omelette with chorizo - was divine, bulging with its contents. My friend was equally impressed with the English fare with a poppy seed pap muffin. The cappuccinos were perfect, as was the friendly and professional service. Great quirky and spacious surroundings that does remind one of the rustic Karoo.

Lovely bohemian feel, lots of arts, gorgeous furniture, the staff is very friendly, unfortunately we didn't have time to grab a bite but the menu looked good, although a vegan option or two would be appreciated

Love the atmosphere. It feels like a quick escape out of the city. We just enjoyed a craft beer and a milkshake which was real good. So glad we discovered this place, will definitely come back for more.

We enjoyed delicious food in a relaxed, peaceful environment where it is difficult to imagine that bustling city life surrounds it. It's worth taking the time to visit this charming, village like collection of rustic shoppies. Friendly assistance and good advice are freely available at the well stocked garden nursery and at all the other interesting outlets.

The Food is absolutely amazing every time we go. Really affordable too. Would definitely recommend!

This is truly an artistic/book lovers/decor enthusiasts experience. The place is really large even though from the lynnwood main road it looks small and quaint. There are numerous stores here which I visited: the pottery barn where classes for pottery, figurine making and the likes take place. There is also pots and ornaments and crockery to buy as gifts for your loved ones! Then there is a hippie shop with clothes, candles and the likes. A charity shop too where second hand clothes are bought and sold. A lovely book store with second hand books to buy, a few coffee shops and the Karoo Cafe restaurant itself. Also a plant nursery with a variety of plants to choose from! A cement furniture and reclaimed wood shop is also available for your furniture needs. The cafe experience was overall amazing. The food quality exceptional. Some of the ingredients in your food is grown right there on the erf by a hydrophonic plant!!!! Average per person for two drinks and a meal R160 with 10% tip. Very worth stopping off here on a relaxing Sunday just to get out of the house and wander a bit!!! Really an awesome place 😀

I have been wanting to drop by for so long and am so glad I did! Just popped in there for a drink and a few samosas and it was such an experience! The service was great, the vibe and venue was great. I really look forward to trying some of their exquisite dishes on a next outing.

Atmosphere is sooo nice. Very natural and warming. I prefer going in the morning.

If you miss the home cooked meals you grew up with , but which have been upgraded to a 5 star restaurant standard, this is the place to go. I can not recommend it high enough. And to crown it all the cost of a meal is much less than expected.
