The Birdcage

A friend of mine told me about this place, so we tried it out today. I can proudly give them a 5-star rating. Had a good and easy accessible table, our waitress was friendly, informed, and gave us diligent service. I was expecting quite a hefty bill with the treats we ordered, but to my surprise they were right on par. Not something you find every day in the Cape Town food/entertainment industry. The cupcakes were fresh, well balanced taste, even for something like a lemon meringue or a rolo cupcake. Amazing coffee, made the way it should be!! All around a great coffee shop or restaurant for a nice meal!

Fabulous to be able to sit outside in the warm autumn weather.
Ambiance is peaceful and gentle.
Best cuppacino I've had in a very, very long time and my mom had normal Ceylon tea, but said it was sooooo good.
The freshly baked goods, i.e. scones and croissants are devine!
Great for browsing for gift type items too.
(Even the rest room is a delight!)

My sister and I are such foodies and we decided to try this place out for the first time. It was superb- the decor as well as the attention to detail with the food was very well done. The bacon was crispy, the bread was fresh, the cutlery was properly cleaned and beautiful. We had the most amazing experience and we will definately be going back.

The waiters are friendly and always check on you. The food and bakery is delicious. The coffee is also very nice. I recommend everyone trying this place out.

The cutest little cafe I have eaten at in a while; very warm and inviting on a cold winter morning.

The waiters are all very attentive and friendly so the service was excellent and quick if I might add.

The food is very reasonable priced and it is delicious. I had a sourdough toasted sandwich and it was perfect. This place has great choices for the health conscious as well as for the person just looking for a treat.
I also had the caramel banana tart and it was a borderline spiritual experience. So you will not be disappointed if you grab a bite to eat here.

Besides having sweet treats that you can take home like cheesecake, tarts and cookies; there are also a few bespoke bits and bobs around the cafe that you can purchase.

Highly recommend popping in if you ever get a chance.

I love this place! I always buy cupcakes here as birthday presents and the staff are very friendly. The cakes are to die for.On a sunny day you can also sit outside.

A quaint little spot hidden away from the main street. Perfect as a intimate setting with quirky decor and a lovely stream flowing right next to it. Really great coffee!!
