I really want to like this local spot, amazing bakes, great spot for eggs and artisanal bread.  The barista has improved too but lady at till this morning was sooo sullen and unpleasant.  Not even a hello!  Talk about a vibe killer!!!

Over priced little coffee shop in Observatory.
Had to wait for a table as they seem to be popular. Paid R80 for a simple sandwich.

I love this place! Staff are friendly - coffee is always on point and all day breakfast is always a winner!! It can get a little busy over the weekends but the decor and comfy seating make the wait worth it

Great atmosphere, love that it is dog friendly. Their breakfast was amazing, but the star of the show has to the dirty chai I had. 🤌🏾
