Best place to eat at Hillcrest centre. Great food, amazing cake and best coffee I've had in a long time. The waiters are friendly and the service is really fast even though the place was full. Will certainly be going back.

The atmosphere is a very relaxed one with nice decorations and friendly staff. If you decide to come to this cafe make sure you try the Trinchado it is honestly the best one I have ever had and sent my taste buds on a journey! Will definitely return and continue to order it over and over again!😃

Went here on Friday to escape the heat with some friends in the mood for something cold to cool everyone down. We stepped into cafe Grenadine and ordered the coconut mocha frappucino, which was absolutely delicious! I was initially skeptical about ordering it with the fear of it being totally watered down only to discover how truly amazing it was. Pity I didn't get to order any food there but I will definitely be back for more.

Cafe Grenadine is located in the Hillcrest Centre, close to Hatfield. They offer a convenient haven for post shopping cravings. Offering a lovely variety of options from their menu from breakfasts, light lunches and off course some heavier red meat options.

My personal favourite is their Mezze platter. Please make a note that although they state it’s sufficient for one person, it is in fact adequate for two. Their food is fresh, tasty and hits the spot. Their decor is a mashup of Italian/cafe/bistro and offer inside and outside seating.

I would most certainly recommend Cafe Grenadine as the experience is a friendly one, from food, to service and value for money. Go! Now!

Lovely cafe very close to where I work. I go here often and am treated like family!

Friendly staff, good food and a lovely menu. The one time in the likely 50 times I was not 100% satisfied with an order the owner gladly replaced the order in record time.

They have a lovely cappuccino and I live fore the adorable little complementary biscotti that comes with it. The place smells lovely from the daily freshly baked goodies and they have many relatively healthy options on their menu!

They are also more than willing to accommodate large groups even on short notice!

It was a chilli day when my best friend and I decided to go out for cake and coffee... We happen to bump into Café Grenadine as we were walking and we got called in by one of the waiters.

First of all, their setting is very homey. I love the couch and pillows going on... the wooden feel of the place. The hanging lights on a low suspension. Their personnel are also very welcoming and accommodating. Beautiful experience I tell you_

I had the Irish Coffee and Red Velvet. The coffee was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!! With the correct sting balance and sugar and cream top 😍😍😍... BUT THE CAKE?! 🙄..... Goodness me! It almost ruined it all for me 🤢... It had too much baking powder and so every bite had a horrible dry after taste 😷,my God! It was dry! The cream was great, but what's great cream on a horrible cake???

So I ended up having my best friends chocolate cake. Mmmmmmh.... it has a thin layer of caramel that pops up beautifully in your mouth. Loved it!

It's worth coming back for their coffee, not their cakes, nope 😷

The French toast with bacon and syrup is dreamy! The service is also good & the food is not that badly priced. I like how open the restaurant is & its great sitting in the warm sun outside. Will definitely be back!

Really nice setting. Although inside a shopping center, it is possible to sit outside.

Service was good. And the menu looks quite interesting. Only having coffee for now, but will be back 😄😄

Peaceful cafe away from the Hatfield buzz. Lovely way to start your day with none other than the Classic Grenadine breakfast. I recommend the Caffè latte as a drink. The staff is generally friendly but is often really busy. The manager/owner only seems to pay interest to his regulars, not once has he approached me, or smiled in my direction. Nonetheless, it is a very relaxed spot for tasty food.

I went to Grenadine for a quick afternoon treat. Nice atmosphere and lots of space. There is a nice selection of tasty baked goods on display. Unfortunately the service was fairly unfriendly and slow.

I just had a lime milkshake which delicious 🍦

The food here is delicious and there are a variety of different options to choose from. I find it a little overpriced but the portion sizes are normally quiet large. The wraps are always yummy and this is normally my go-to however I recently tried their beef prego and was quiet disappointed - will stick to wraps in future. Service tends to be a bit lack-luster at times.

A lovely cafe with a Mediterranean flair! Had some time to kill in the area so found this spot for breakfast. The menu is great, there are nice options for any meal time and the Mediterranean twist on meals are divine. Portions are perfect and they are not shy on ingredients. The owner/manager was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very warm and open, I loved the Mediterranean music and classic cafe decor. If you are new the area (like me) this is a safe spot for a good meal.

From outside Cafe Grenadine gives the impression of an ordinary coffee shop. But looks can be deceiving.
Inside it is roomy with ample seating available.
A pleasant buzz of conversation with lovely music in the background.
For me the perfect table this morning was just inside the open double doors to the outside seating. In the shade with a much needed cooling breeze.
They are licenced. On the menu are Portugese choices among the usual coffee shop fare.
Turkish delight cocktail in a wide rimm glass with plenty crushed ice. Not shaken nor stirred, my first sip was neat white curacao - it got better with every further sip!
Prego with beef strips: the fillet strips tender. The prego sauce & salsa served separate so one is able to control the heat of your dish - good idea. Potato cubes was what I call institutional roasted potato - roasted then kept warm which take away the crispness. It was delicious nevertheless.
Segafreddo coffee afterwards was good.
Management was present.

Popped in this afternoon for a quick a milkshake on this boiling hot day. Milkshakes here are the perfect size. Not too large which sometimes leaves one feeling so full and sometimes even sick. They only have the basic flavours but they are delicious, think and creamy and the little marshmallows on top were really cute. This is a nice looking restaurant and I will definately like to come back to try the food! Service was quick and friendly.

I have frequently stopped by this lovely restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and coffee dates. While I do enjoy every visit, the service has never been phenomenal; the staff are not particularly friendly and orders take a while to arrive.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. My scone was a bit dry and they forgot the cream to go with it. I enjoyed catching up on some work and I could charge my laptop at one of their plugs. The reason for my rating would be for the food and because I had to ask for the bill twice.

Breakfast at Grenadine never really dissapoints, good coffee, healthy options and a cozy feel to it. We just had the Classic Grenadine breakfast this morning with poached eggs and rye bread - done perfectly. I support them regularly and will continue to do so. Went here again and this time I ordered the balsamic grilled chicken deli sandwich on rye - wow! It was really good and a nice change from having a normal breakfast.

Really lovely cafe in Lynnwood with friendly waiters. The Raphaelo wrap is a fresh vegetarian wrap that has lovely flavors. The Mega burger is tasty and filling. Lovely place to go for tea and cake.

Cool place. There's a really nice vibe in here. I just finished the california nachos and I must say they were good. Our waitress was very nice. I can recommend cafe Grenadine for a light lunch on the weekend.

I really do like the food here. The coffee is also delicious. It is centrally located so very convenient. You can have breakfast all day long. The music is subtle but not too soft. The staff smile at you. Service isn't particularly fast but not slow either. I suppose when it really gets busy it can be an issue. Parking isn't great but that's just the way the grounds have been designed. It seems like local business people hang out here.

Lovely restaurant. Great spot to visit for a catch up session with a friend. For the quality of the food served, they are more pricey than what you would expect. The portions sizes are not necessarily generous so the pricing doesn’t quite make sense. However the staff are all wonderful! Their service is excellent across the board and the atmosphere has been pleasant in all the occasions s I’ve been there.

Affordable lunch burger special. R50 for a burger and chips. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are usually friendly. The owner is always nearby and you feel well looked after here. Prices aren’t too bad either. Food is always good!

Nice place and the only one open in the area from 6h30 in the morning. Breakfast was good, except that the avocado was a little hard…..should perhaps have asked.

Wide menu selection, good coffee and awesome selection of baked options - their cheese cake is in a different category. My friends were happy with other confectionery options. Parking on site with in and outside seating.
