Review The Cafe Racer - Somerset West

Great food, great style, and their coffee (with a roasted based onsite) is amazing. I had a burger with an insane amount of cheese which was just superb. They also have several craft beers, and they do not mind corkage. Overall the this stands as a hidden Gem within the Strand region. Definitely worth the visit.

Awesome venue, great atmosphere, and even better food. Had one of the most amazing burgers ever. I had the Kickflip burger, a serious hunger buster, chips were incredible as well. Had some cheese ball starters that were brilliant, topped off with brilliant service. Enough parking as well. Could be my new favorite venue!

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the best hostess, their dog, Thomas! Really loved the vibe and scenery. Great music too! Good service. Was so happy that they had a vegan burger on their menu. And it was extremely delicious!

Great food had the Tacos all amazing. Love the vibe and laid back atmosphere. One or two beer option or a tap would be nice.

Excellent service, stunning meal. Thank you Alistair 👏👏 outstanding customer service. We will be back. It was my 2and time there and I enjoyed it just as my first experience. Compliments to the chef👩‍🍳👌

Good food, good service and friendly hosts. Can't ask for much more than that. Great looking venue too. Definitely worth another visit

Stopped in for a girl's breakfast and had a great time. COVID protocols in place (thank you), and then masks off for a delicious breakfast next to a fire on a chilly morning. Loved the decor and the doggie made my day! Would have scored 5 stars if my meal was served hot ... it was warm but I do like my food hot!! Friendly laid back non-invasive service. Will definitely go back and try lunch next time. Famous for their burgers apparently!!

Epic burgers, very cool place. Funky decor... Highly recommended

Friendly and Amazing atmosphere. Food is amazing.

My favorite coffee shop☕ I am grateful for the self ordering concept as no one interrupts me when I'm working or in conversation with clients or friends👌🏻 Coffee and burgers are awesome! Ps. you get to meet Thomas

Great food, amazing/friendly staff and awesome coffee!! It's such a cute café, it is definitely a must visit!! Also, it's really close to the beach, so afterwards you can go for a nice walk!!

Very nice and original. Well done to the owner. Only had drinks but will try out the menu as well next time 😁

A gem in the basin, friendly staff, awesome decor, great food, classy yet so chilled, best of all worlds! Definitely recommend to anyone! Well done to you!!!

Awesome vibe, awesome food and awesome staff! Perfect place to hang out with friends. Go there you won’t be disappointed!

Very special cafe with a great vibe and the food is also of top standard!! Remember to say hi to Thomas the local cafe bully if you visit - he is simply adorable!

Everything is flawless! I recommend this restaurant fully.Child friendly - they love the bike-theme coloring-in pages; a great kids (under 8 eat for free) menu and amazing general menu. Well worth a visit...

I had the pleasure of feasting there yesterday. Kim made me feel right at home, super friendly service, great décor - in fact I would say a bikers wet dream as to what a home should look like. A jaw dropping selection of local craft beers as well as imported bottled fare that leaves nothing to be desired. Menu contains more creativity then a prog bands discography and is longer then Celine Dions face. Take your time to make your choice - everyone seems a winner but there is so many choices that are way off the beaten track. Someone thought VERY long and hard about this and really created the ultimate in what is possible as far as gourmet burgers go. The food itself came without sauces which makes sense because adding anything to this work of art is like splashing ketchup on a fillet mignon, a crime for which one may be executed at dawn in some cultures.Its absolute perfection : the brisket patty (notoriously difficult meat to master) was awesome, as was the Jack Daniels basting, there was enough bacon to make an imam weep, the mac & cheese a perfect square of yum, the cream cheese top shelf even the greenery was just simply better. Lovingly garnished with chips and tempura broc. In fact on my own facebook page I referred to it as a biblical revelation. And yes size DOES matter and this will satisfy even a hectic appetite. The ONLY fault I can find here is that facebook only allows me to *like* this once. I hotly recommend anyone to give this place a spin - you will be back. Just make sure you say your farewells to your loved ones because you will be back often and people might wonder where you vanished off to. :-)

Never had a bad experience at Cafe Racer! Beer is friggin awesome, food is an artistical match of flavours and aromas. Gastronomically addictive! The service has always been friendly and mostly very speedy. Well done guys on something very original, that works! Your menu cracks me up! 110% for creativity!

Great vibe, waiter & hostess were friendly and efficient and the burgers were the best I've had in a long time!! Thanks guys, we will be back soon.

Had a great evening with our overseas visitors! Beautiful food, great beers, wonderful vibe, great service. We'll definitely be back!!! Thanks to all staff xx

... really enjoyed it. Wish more people knew about it, great atmosphere, something different. Friendly waiter and excellent food. Burger was huge!

What amazing burgers! We went there tonight. So sorry to see that it was not supported by more locals, but I can honestly say, the best burgers I have ever had. Thank you!

What a special little burger joint. We will definitely be back to try more of their delicious wares...
