Java Cafe

We had a great dine in experience here. The food and wine prices are very affordable if compared to other similar places. We had each a main course, a bottle of wine to share, a dessert and a cappuccino/coffee. The food doesn't take long and is well presented. Friendly waiters and good relaxed atmosphere. They have different specials especially during the week. We will definitely be back.

Really nice spot, well priced and always busy. Great spot for breakfast in the heart of Stellenbosch. Good prices and a nice variety of food and drinks. I had flatbread and loaded fries mix of potato and sweet potato which was delicious. Portions are decent too. Great and friendly service by our waitress made it a good experience. One negative: the flat white came in a MASSIVE cup and was both flat and white, not what you'd want in a Coffee.

I simply love this café. The first note I want to make is that this restaurant makes an effort to employ people who live in the area, some of whom are students. What a refreshing change! I've never once felt that the waiters that have served our table have been nonchalant or didn't have pride in delivery. The menu is vast, quality of food good and the prices fair for the large portions served. Sit either on the covered pavement section to do some casual passerby onlooking or inside the restaurant; both vibes are lovely. The chocolate cake is deathly and perfectly satisfies a post-diet craving. Their carrot cake is apparently decadent as well, so that'll be my next indulgence. Oh, and they make good coffee! What more can you ask for? Consider me a loyal patron.

Bit of a wait outside didn't really help that it was cold out but was seated well. The ambiance was lovely. Having been a veteran of Stellies it was nice to finally see the revamp. Well done. Worth checking out definitely. Just sad my food was cold and the chicken tasted like it was boiled and then seered with a dusting of paprika, so basically no flavour. Safe to say my partner and friend enjoyed their food so that was great! Hence the 4 stars. I'd definitely try it again so not all is lost.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Java Cafe/Bistro in Stellenbosch, and I must say, their burger left a lasting impression on me. This hidden gem of a cafe/bistro truly knows how to create a phenomenal burger experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The menu boasted a wide variety of options, but my eyes were immediately drawn to the burger section, and boy, I'm glad I made that choice! The burger I ordered was nothing short of perfection. The patty was cooked to juicy perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. It was accompanied by fresh, crispy lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a medley of delicious toppings. The brioche bun was the ideal vessel, perfectly toasted and adding a touch of sweetness to the ensemble. I must admit, it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. What truly sets Java Cafe/Bistro apart is the attention to detail they put into their food. Each ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the burger was meticulously crafted with care. It was evident that the chef takes great pride in their culinary creations, and it truly showed in the final product. The portion size was generous, leaving me feeling satisfied and content. The presentation of the burger was visually appealing, and the flavors were well-balanced. The accompanying fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection, making for a delightful side dish. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. The staff members were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about the food they served. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. If you find yourself in Stellenbosch and craving a mouthwatering burger, I highly recommend visiting Java Cafe/Bistro. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this place is an absolute must-visit. The combination of delectable food, friendly service, and cozy ambiance makes it a standout choice in the area. Overall, I can't praise Java Cafe/Bistro enough for their incredible burger. It was an unforgettable experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Don't miss out on the chance to savor their culinary delights - you won't be disappointed!

Enjoyed my meal, it was beautiful The service was amazing,I loved everything about the restaurant 10/10

I was pleasantly surprised by this corner café. We were warmly welcomed and had an attentive waitress. The menu offers cuisine for all palates … even my reluctant to try new eateries husband and son. The only disappointing aspect was that it was loadshedding and the pizzas were not on offer. Each meal was tasty with generous portions. The carrot cake could do with some improving. Worth the visit.

Wonderful area good service but old & expensive .Could not even finish the meal hence the photo

Amaziiiiing fillet steak! Reasonable prices, including alcohol. Charcuterie board could include different cheese variety we only got brie and perhaps more bread 2 small slices for a platter for two isn’t enough but looked spectacular. Be prepared to wait a bit as it’s extremely busy.

I ordered the Banting burger and it didn't look tasty at all. Also half of the ingredients weren't there and it looked and tasted really bad. We were really disappointed since we had high expectations from this place!
