We were pleasantly surprised with this place! There are hundreds of coffee shop restaurants in Cape Town but this one is worth the visit! It actually feels like you are not in the city centre! The coffee was top notch and golden late was something else!

The service was really good. The Cafe is located in quiet area so it's nice to sit street side on on the roof. I personally had the curry which absolutely delicious, the naan was really well made. Would definitely recommend. My company had the burger which was also really good.

Super sweet staff serving delicious food in De Waterkant. Both breakfast and lunch were a delight. The vegan options are smashing, wholeheartedly recommend this!

Amazing place! We were a bit too late for brunch menu but the team still accommodated us in terms of getting eggs for breakfast. The food was delicious, the ambience under the trees is perfect, the service was sweet u0026 helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

What a gem of a place!
Nourishing healthy food (those flapjacks and currries!), but most of all, the service.
The owner Mark and the crew of Allan and Stephen make you feel so welcome.
Plus, you can sit under a gorgeous old tree next to the fountain. Good vibes all around. 10/10

A great spot in De Waterkant with fantastic service and great views. A little bit pricier than I expected, so I opted for a croissant and coffee. Was delicious.

Stayed in Capetown for two nights nearby the Charles Cafe - it was so good the first night we went again on the second night also! The Cape Malay and Babootie (?) curry were fantastic. Also The Fox red wine was lovely!! Gorgeous local food and very generous servings. Cool setting /location ,and would definitely recommend it. Stan and his colleagues were great! Thanks very much!!
