It took some time to get service and when we eventually got service it felt like they first had to ferment and bottle the beer before bringing it. Apart from that, it took nearly an hour to bring a burger and pie. The burger was flavourful, I was glad to see and taste that the beef burgers wasn't filled with herbs or spices while nicely seasoned on the outside with a nice char. The pie's lamb was tender but definitely not karoo lamb, or didn't taste like it. The pie's dough was a bit stodgy so we only ate the fillings To be honest, the food wasn't worth the wait and we'd recommend to rather visit this place if and when it's quiet.
Lovely bohemian feel, lots of arts, gorgeous furniture, the staff is very friendly, unfortunately we didn't have time to grab a bite but the menu looked good, although a vegan option or two would be appreciated
This is truly an artistic/book lovers/decor enthusiasts experience. The place is really large even though from the lynnwood main road it looks small and quaint. There are numerous stores here which I visited: the pottery barn where classes for pottery, figurine making and the likes take place. There is also pots and ornaments and crockery to buy as gifts for your loved ones! Then there is a hippie shop with clothes, candles and the likes. A charity shop too where second hand clothes are bought and sold. A lovely book store with second hand books to buy, a few coffee shops and the Karoo Cafe restaurant itself. Also a plant nursery with a variety of plants to choose from! A cement furniture and reclaimed wood shop is also available for your furniture needs. The cafe experience was overall amazing. The food quality exceptional. Some of the ingredients in your food is grown right there on the erf by a hydrophonic plant!!!! Average per person for two drinks and a meal R160 with 10% tip. Very worth stopping off here on a relaxing Sunday just to get out of the house and wander a bit!!! Really an awesome place
Unique concept & setting with interesting little shops. The restaurant has lots of potential, but is in need of a good cleaning & some maintenance. The food is okay, however efficient, friendly service lacks.
Cozy and rustic atmosphere. but the lines between rustic and neglect are a bit blurry The food is good and well presented, all in all a pleasant experience.
Nice place with beautiful set up. Some great traditional meals on offer, but we only feel like ordering some salad and veggie wrap. Great coffee indeed !
Such a beautiful hidden place. I had a bacon and avo panini which was to die for not to mention the hazelnut late Food: 5/5
We are from out of town but keep coming back. Love the open air atmosphere, large spaces and fun menu. great coffees and good food. Decent parking and easy to get to on Lynnwood road.Food: 5/5
The omelette was a little on the dry side, but I was meeting friends who I hadn't seen in a long time, so it was more about the conversation than the food. Cappuccino was perfect. Decor is lovely, inviting, and comfortable.Food: 4/5
As a first time customer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The food here was delicious and the portion sizes were decent. I would definitely say it’s value for money as well. The only downside is that the food did take a bit long to arrive but we were happy with it once it did. Our waitress gave us great service- she was attentive but wasn’t constantly coming to check on us which we appreciated. All the waitresses were friendly and it was good to see that they were aware of the cleanliness of the tables after each patron left. This restaurant definitely has a cool vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed its originality. After our meal we checked out the book shop which I thought was a novel addition to a restaurant. It was good to see how they incorporated elements to make it more eco-friendly, like the aquaponic garden and the septic tank toilet system. It just seems that it might get a bit cold in winter. Overall a great experience. We will definitely be coming back.
