Occasional background chatter from neighboring tables mixes with soft music, making the experience comfortable for both intimate dinners and casual drinks.

It's one of those places you say you're going to visit but never have the time until you get invited. At least, that was my experience. The waitress was patient & kind with our big group. I appreciate that. They found setting for us inside as got chilly outside. Their Mimosas are great! Want something for brunch try the Kimchi rich with poached Eggs, mushrooms & radish. Or a Kimchi pulled pork toasties! Beautiful place! And definitely a Cape Town staple.

Beshamel bacon croissant is divine taste. Waiting time can be a little bir longer but worth it. There is also locker to keep luggages inside

I had a blueberry and banana muffin which was gluten free and it was amazing. My red cappuccino was good, a little cooler than I expected, but others at the table got their hot drinks heated a little more. Atmosphere was great, lots of seating and service was a little slowish but that could have been due to us all talking so much, and she was giving us the space we might have needed; in which case the service was on point. All in all I really liked it there, and recommend a visit.
