We love this little Gem in Somerset West, especially the farm to table concept. Everything is fresh and tasty. Possibly the best breakfast i have had in the West thus far.

OMG, did everyone forget to tell me about this place! A beautiful quaint bistro with good food, amazing hospitality and a relaxing backdrop to dine and unwind. I can't recommend this place enough, I will be going back again especially for the affordable prices.

I decided to check out Babette's bakery again, to see whether it had improved since the last time I was there. I am happy to say yes. I ordered a flat white, and it was beautiful. A skilled batista had made it, from top to bottom it was smooth an silky and wonderfully pleasant. Perfect place for a tranquil coffee date. I thought I would try something from their baked goods for the day. I chose their cheesecake. It is not your normal cheesecake, so for those who seek a sugar free almond flour cheesecake - Babette's is where you can get it , freshly made. It is very light and airy and makes you feel absolutely no guilt to eat it. A unique taste. It comes with a berry compote , and a dollop of either cream or ice cream. The only thing I would want to improve in the cheesecake, is the crust and the density, both to be slightly thicker or more prominent. What I can day though is that it is not any kind of assault to your body or stomach. It is gentle and paletteable and unique in the way that its not just anywhere that one can eat an almond flour cheesecake which is also sugar free. I would definitely like to return to try something else on the menu. Over a few months this place has improved tremendously. The staff included. I walked out feeling good and that it was worthwhile going there. See you soon!

Lovely little spot to pop in for breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee or red cappuccino. Small, but not cramped. In town, but has a garden feel. The food looks and tastes great! The staff and manager are friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back!

Very poor service from waitresses, we were ‘forgotten’ or most likely de-prioritized. I had to call the waiter over to order (while they were chatting at the counter), ask for sauce, order an additional item for my kid, and I asked for the bill THREE times! They are low-energy, slow-action and grumpy each time I’ve been there over the past year. And when I paid today, she still asked if I’d like to leave a tip. It’s the same 3 ladies that I’ve seen there over the past year, and I’ve visited at least 4 times hoping each time the service would improve. This time was the worst service hence the review.

Beautiful little eatery. Lovely shaded courtyard with lots of plants creating stunning atmosphere. The food was exceptional. We had the burger and haloumi salad. Delicious!!

Really worth the visit, lovely facility and ambiance. The food per serving may look small but rest assured, taste wise and sufficient. If an space left their scones are a must.
