Review Ride In Cafe - Stellenbosch

We stopped by this place because we heard of the fabulous playground for the children there. And we weren't disappointed! There is a huge jungle gym and play area outside the coffee shop with lush green lawns and lots of space to run around or play ball games. The seating area is basically right next to the playground and lucky they put up some shade. We went there on a super hot day and were happy to relax in the shade. The kids had fun on the swing and jungle gym and they even found a toy box with additional things to keep them entertained and happy on such a hot day. The coffee shop is a self-service establishment, so you will have to order inside. But this is not an inconvenience at all and there is lots of things to choose from. They serve burgers, salads, pizzas, toasties and a kiddies menu as well as pastries and cakes. We can definitely recommend this place even if you go there without your bike. But if you do, you and the kids can also enjoy a bike track and kiddies track.

OMG, I loved this place so much. My AirBnB host suggested it and I thought she was just being biased but man it is so beautiful. It is just by the mountains, enough space for a group of people. Most importantly, Their burgers, I will never forget, they were fresh and yummy and just out of this world. The staff is very friendly and you can chill and just have drinks. What a lovely place.

We were able to rent two excellent mountain e-bikes to get into Jonkershoek Nature Reserve for the day. Very nice, kind and accommodating people. The e-bikes got us to the very top, 500 m. elevation. Plenty of battery left after 4 hour ride. And what a great experience getting into the reserve! Bike rental rates were very pricey however.

A gem en route to Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. You can hire a bicycle to enjoy a stunning cycle through the nature reserve or even take on some of the well designed bike trails. After a wonderful day out you can return to enjoy some amazing food. The restaurant is kind enough to offer a vegan burger option for our earthy friends. The burgers are something to definitely consider and enjoy with a Chai late. Definitely worth enjoying with friends or the family!!

Great coffee, amazing staff and awesome carrot cake. The views are amazing.

We sort of bend the rules somehow and drove in instead of cycle. Absolutely astonishing beauty, surrounded by lash greens and encounters with cyclists of all kinds amateurs, intermediate and professionals alike. The Bistro's farm kitchen here surprisingly delivers even better meals than one may assume. In addition, they also do Bicycle rentals, repairs and wash. Truly a Stellenbosch hidden germ. I'll stop by again at any given time.

The perfect bike stop!! Great food, nice people, highly recommended! The wraps are awesome!!

Beautiful setting, catering for active families. From showers to ample playing area for the kids this is a great option for a family. Friendly and helpful staff, bike washes and on site mechanic a bonus!

Great place for cyclists to stop and have lunch or for anyone looking to visit Jonkershoek. Great play area for kids as well!

I went here once for breakfast with a friend and it was top-notch - beautiful scenery and nice location and great French Toast. 5-star worthy! Unfortunately, I took my girlfriend here for breakfast and it was not good at all. They messed up her coffee violently, and they messed up my croissant, they did not bring knives or forks and they messed up her bacon and French toast by not bringing the bacon... it was truly terrible. 2-star worthy. But at least they apologized by giving us free grapetisers. I have still given 4 stars as maybe it was just a very terrible day in the office for them.

The coffee was nice! And the setting is beautiful and relaxing with the amazing views of the mountains. I spotted so many small birds in this lovely tea garden, it was very refreshing

Nice cafe for a drink and some cake. The cheese cake and iced coffee were very good.

Informal atmosphere, frequented by hikers, runners, bikers, anyone who appreciate nature and fresh air. Bonus: the food is fantastic!

Good, healthy food overlooking beautiful mountains and stunning gardens. Friendly service. BEST COFFEE! Oh and if you have kids, child friendly play area.

A hidden gem. Great food at a reasonable price. Good coffee, free wifi - an ideal place for a work meeting or just a quiet place to work.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat in Stellenbosch. Perfect for bikers to load up with energy before ride to Jonkershoek and stop over to cool down after. Best breakfast musli and chef’s salad for lunch in town!

Food was delicious and setting is beautiful. Rented two full suspension bikes for a day, had a great experience, the only thing is that the bikes need a little bit more maintenance, the front brakes on mine didn't really work, and the tires were quite worn.

Nice coffee,good service, the homemade nutella is very delicious, I had the banana bread it was fantastic.
