“ Really good food in a very nice friendly setting. Coffee was not my style ( I favor sour coffee this one was on a bitter side ) but that's more of a personal preference. The Benedict with mushroom and spinach was perfection ”
“ Breakfast all day. I ordered the Omlette with Parmesan and Spinach Mushrooms. It’s was really delicious. I think maybe a thicker slice of sourdough pan fired toasted would beef it up a bit. Coffee was also very good. I’ll come back. ”
“ Tried almost all the breakfast food and loved all of it. Really reasonable prices and a great view of Table Top Mountain. The free WiFi is a big bonus for tourists. Coffee and smoothies are also excellent. My Dad, Sister and I came here 4 days of 7 days we were Cape Town. ”
