Great home cooked meals. Their Milkshakes are just as popular. Friendly staff. Laid-back atmosphere. They serve home cooked meals every day of the week as well as on Sundays. a full Sunday lunch is available for either sit-down or takeaway options. See their weekly menu or ask to be added to their WhatsApp group where you can pre-order.

Magnificent day out with my wife and grandchildren. Excellent service from Michael, warm atmosphere. Worth trying. Excellent service, good wholesome food, wonderful atmosphere. Had my brother and his wife over from Gauteng, home away from home. We have experienced the same warm atmosphere, having noticed that the same staff were all still there. Wonderful to receive the same atmosphere and service, one of the few places not affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic(which is a blessing). To the owner, well trained staff. Michael is still there, recognised us from the word go.

Great play pen for the grandchildren. Enough activities to keep energy spent. Also an eye on all in one spot.

Outstanding cakes and scones. Took friends there for coffee and cake. Great selection. Baklava Cheesecake was amazing as was the Death by Chocolate. One of our group had a scone which was generous in size. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Lovely that we were not rushed out the door which happens so often in the late afternoon. The prices were reasonable too!

I ordered an iced cappuccino and a toasted cheese and tomato. I got the drink. The sandwich took so long that I had finished my drink and had to call someone to find out why a simple toasted cheese and tomato sandwich could possibly take that long. I was then told that they'd messed up the first sandwich and had to remake it. If they had been even remotely professional they would have informed me along the way and I would very likely have been very understanding. Bad service!!!

I have moved to Cape Town from Port Elizabeth, this November month. The first time I had coffee in this shop, was the 16 November 2022 and it was such a pleasant experience. Hence, I told my best friend and we came for coffee. She was delighted that you have banting cheesecake. We will tell everyone how special your staff made us feel. Please continue this service level.

Great place for an informal meal that is well prepared, tasty and served by a friendly staff complement. Indoor and "outdoor" (in shopping centre) seating and it also sells lovely biscuits, rusks, etc. Sells preprepared meals that can be enjoyed at home. Close to kiddies play area.

Best Eggs Benedict in town. Wide variety on the menue and great coffee. Seating inside and outside in the the centre. Very friendly and efficient waiters. They also have take away meals on a daily basis...tasty, well priced and freshly made every day. Great desserts can be added...their Sago pudding is one of my favourites.

Lovely coffee shop with lots of indoor and "outdoor" seating available. Great selection of items available on the menu, excellent kiddies menu available and a nice jungle gym (part of Pinehurst Mall I presume) adjacent to the "outdoor" seating. Friendly waitering staff and delicious tasting food! Highly recommended :)

  • Monika Van Zyl

My first time here. I like their coffee and the breakfast is cheap. They do give discounts for pensioners. You can sit inside, or *outside*. The outside is part of the centre still. Outside, next to Cafe de la Monte, is a play area for kids. Enjoy something to eat and drink, while watching your kids. I will go back

  • Caryl

Enjoyed a superb Mother's Day lunch with my 88 year old Mom. The food was excellent and the gift we received was thoughtfully put together ... chocolate covered peanuts, earrings, a beaded hanger to put on a keyring, a small bottle of Amarula, a sample of the new Aromat and a pamper discount voucher.

Ensuring accurate meat cooking temperatures is crucial for achieving the desired taste; the distinction in flavor between medium and well-done is significant.

The best Omelette around. Every time we've been, kids included, has been wow. Service is 5 star. Atmosphere is happy. Café is very clean and conveniently situated in the centre. They even do Banting cheesecake. Love all the homemade biscuits, etc too. Definitely always a go to.

  • Mark Ferguson

A qaint coffee shop situated in Pinehurst centre, got some coffee and toasted sandwiches for takeaway, fillings were generous however I would have preferred a more tangy mayo with the chicken mayo. Service was a little slow given that it was not very busy.

  • Annalize Smit

This humble coffee shop is like an oasis in the desert. Please try their take home dinners. It is excellently priced, big portions and delicious. This helps me a lot during the week to have some extra family time after work. Saving me time and money!!!

  • Andre Koekemoer

Very nice Café for a quick breakfast or light meal. Decent coffee, service is good, menu is varied enough for you to find that something you want. Highlight for me was the delicious sweet potato fries. Crisp on the outside without becoming dry. Yummy.

This cafè has well distanced tables, some inside and others in the open section of the mall walkway. They offer fair value for money on the menu. An extra drawcard is the Sunday roast and veg meals that can be ordered and collected. Certain

Good food, great variety, good service and friendly staff, good atmosphere and great value for money. I have been there multiple times and I had no issues so they deserve a 5 star rating from me. Well done for keeping it above mediocrity.

I really loved this place. Pity they close so early. I enjoyed the food and basically almost sitting on the sidewalk on Sea Point main road.

Didn't had cake this time although the cakes looked delicious. They got better since last time I've visited. Good friendly service and delicious cake. A good variety to choose from too.

  • ADV

My girlfriend and I had the wraps and they were so good. Great coffee too and friendly service. Definitely would recommend this place! Thank you to the waiter as well Faeda …

  • Mogammad Karriem

Food took an hour and a half before it was served. If you are not 60 years old or a pensioner, don’t waste your time. A cheese griller should not take an hour and a half. More

  • Linda le bron

Terrible service . I definitely will not recommend this place. Waited for 20 min with no waiter in sight. We walked and got lunch at Spur with excellent quick service.

  • ELZAAN MARIE BASSON

Slow service, forgot part of order, unpleasant manager. Food of reasonable quality and price. Conveniently situated with view on shopping centre children's play area.

  • Esther Jordaan.Geldenhuys

DO NOT GO THERE. Food is horrible. Totally overcharge. Bad service. Manager when brought to her attention had such a bad attitude. Really dissappointing.

  • Lorén Wesso

Worst tasting food (tastes like bad ready made meals), bad service. More for old retired pensioners who have lost their sense of taste.

  • Anita Bester

We used to visit weekly for the pensioners breakfast but unfortunately now won't be able to do it anymore since it has been taken away.
