What We Loved at This Breakfast in Cape Town

• The food (obviously)
• Generous portions
• Warm and friendly service
• The board games! (great if you’re waiting or just want to hang out)

What Could Be Better

Honestly? We couldn’t find a single thing. If you do, let us know 😅

The value for money is also great. We spent about R200 per person, including drinks and a tip. We both went for a dish that came packed with flavour and seriously had us impressed. We’d even go so far as to say it’s one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in Cape Town so far.

For drinks, Saleha ordered the hot chocolate, which was perfectly creamy for a winter morning. Aliasgher went for a local favourite, the mango milkshake. The moment our waiter brought it over, she beamed with excitement that we chose her go-to order. Gotta love that energy!

You also get the option to add a range of spice toppings to customise your food. Honestly, the choices are a little overwhelming (in a fun way), so take your time with that one.
