Theatre Cafe - Rhodes University

Best festival stop-off, sit and wait. Good coffee.

It was nice and comfortable with different colours of chairs and sofa. It was made for a student vibeFood: 3/5

The service was great. Their brownies are moist and yummy.

great food. aesthetically pleasing place.i love their coffee milkshake. i just wish their wraps/salads had more chicken and more sauce. otherwise great service and fantastic place

The couches were comfy, the normally busy space was quiet, 7.45 am coffee was great! Normally the space is buzzing with undergraduates and lecturers from all over, especially the drama school and business school which are housed in this building. We arrived while the staff were still setting up for the day, and the espresso machine was still warming up. They welcomed us, and took our orders with a friendly smile. After serving us, we were left alone to have our conversation.

As a student, I've been fairly regular at the Theatre Cafe. It's a good spot in the Drama department to just chill and grab a quick bite in between class. Not to mention the Ma's who run the food service are among the nicest I've encountered. There's nothing quite like being greeted with a "hello baba" on a hard day and being handed some good food among your friendly colleagues in an eclectic setting. The food is good, your typical healthy version of student food with a good selection of toasted sandwiches, wraps and breakfast. The shakes and coffee are pretty good too. R100 would set you up nicely with a good meal, if you're frugal, it's enough for you and a friend.

Best place to just grab a slice of cake, right on campus. Easy place to get to and you're bound to run into people so it's nice. However, we've stood in front of a closed door from time to time, which we didn't fully understand, leaving us to find somewhere else to find something to end the food cravings.

The lady who served me was kind and happy. The food itself was quite good. A place worth stopping

Theatre Cafe is a wonderful space to relax and have lunch at Universtiy. The staff is friendly and effective and there's always a variety of freshly made food on the menu, including amazing vegan and vegetarian dishes, yummy home made muffins and brownies and freshly brewed coffee. The space offers a variety of tables inside and outside and the sofas are just perfect for chat or work meetings.

The aesthetic is wonderful, the staff are super friendly and the menu is perfectly balanced between classy and cost effective.
