I love this little cafe. There's a park to keep the kids entertained, if you have them. The coffee is excellent and I like to treat myself to a cronut every once in a while, which is sinfully delicious.

What a lovely little hideaway! Off the beaten track but one that is getting known very well.
Serenity at it's best. Affiliated to St Mathew's Church, thus well supported by congregants.
Simple decor that works well.
The ambience is lovely. One feels at peace.

A safe place for children to play, as the area is enclosed and parents can relax while their children are in sight.

As free WiFi is available, many people come to work on their laptops in the tranquility of the place.

Food is tasty and beautifully presented.
A lovely place that l will return to.

I really enjoyed this little cafe, the milkshake was creamy, the cruffin - croissant/muffin - was soft on the inside and flaky on the outside. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Lovely chilled Saturday Vibes!

I had coffee and carrot cake here and it was delicious. On top of that the cafe setting and the garden are so lovely that i also felt like i "drank in" the awesome vibes here. So peaceful and pretty here... like an oasis.

Informal and creative setting. Free Wi-Fi and ample space for the kids playground outside. Best carrot and black forest cake with foamy strong cappuccino. Recommended for tea time!

I've had breakfast here a few times now and love the atmosphere, friendly service and great food. My staple is the French toast and bacon but I've sampled the cakes and bagels and they are always fresh and flavoursome. When the weather is good it's great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful garden

Lovely setting, staff were friendly and food was yummy. Wifi was also good. A good spot to meet with friends for lunch or coffee. I would like to go back to try one of their lunch options.

I enjoyed a really good coffee, delicious sandwich and attentive service today.

You can choose to sit either inside (if you're working on a laptop and need a power source) or outside in the garden area.

The Wi-Fi is the real thing, i.e. not Always On, so doing a little work and browsing with a decent internet connection is a bonus.

There's no signage in the road for the café, but the owner is trying to get that sorted.

For all day breakfast, service with a smile and decadent cakes, find them across from the Engen in Janssens.

First visit, quite impressed. Despite them serving me the wrong tea, I was happy with the quality of the meal, service and atmosphere. If they offer you sweet potato bread as an option, note that they charge you extra. The menu is fantastic, something for everyone and their cakes are delicious. Perfect place for a family with young kids as they have a little play park.

This is a lovely little coffee shop where the staff are friendly and helpful. They serve some of the best coffee in Cape Town. Good place to work with free WiFi and plug points.

Stunning little hidden paradise. Loads of place for the kids to run and play. Stunning selection of cakes and brownies... Including the ever elusive "low carb" or "banting friendly" types.

Super coffee & cake shop - Carrot Cake absolutely divine - set in natural gardens. Feels Ike you're out in the country when you're right in the middle of a busy suburb
