Yoli's Artisan Bakery

Wow!!! Croissants are yummy and my husband had the Eggs Benedict of my dreams!!! Amazing service too. Definitely re-visiting.

Our first visit to Yoli's Bakery, situated inside The Market, Ballito Lifestyle Centre. Fresh and tasty variety of baked items, including seeded loaf, sourdough bread and Ciabatta. Decided to have brunch there, as we went to buy baked items from there. With live music in the background, it gave it a Parisienne feel, but the music was so loud I could hardly hear my husband across the table. Very busy, so tables aren't readily available. Extensive and interesting menu, well priced. Ordered drinks, which arrived quick, but from there it went downhill. We waited over 30 minutes for a bagel breakfast and my eggs benedict. Whilst waiting for our meals, this meant a rooibos tea & Coke for my husband and a coffee shake and mocca coffee luke warm for me. I had to inquire from our waitress twice about the waiting period for our meals and eventually opted to speak to the Manageress. She apologized and checked on our food, stating it was being plated, but the fact that she cross questioned me about our arrival time felt like she defended the waitress, as we did mention the fact that people who arrived after us had already received meals. Our meals arrived shortly thereafter, but I could see that my meal had been standing in the kitchen for a while, as the Hollandaise sauce was set on the plate and my meal was luke warm. My husband's bagel breakfast was hot. Food was tasty and plated with care. As a kind gesture we received a drink each "on the house", which we are thankful for. Excellent address to have this Bakery, but I feel some of the staff obviously needs more training, or supervision is paramount. Worth a visit.

1. I was disappointed with the customer service. I think it would be better to order and go as opposed to sit in and have a treat. 2. The confectionary items are beautiful and well presented. 3. The taste is ok for most of the items I ordered but the bee sting was really tasty that alone is a 4/5

The service is top-notch with smiling, friendly, and helpful waiters and waitresses. The food is superb! Worth every cent. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with lovely decor and various seating arrangements.

I usually buy cappuccino to go at the store but because of the kind and friendly Indian gentleman who I’m not sure if he still works here that assisted me and answered my questions about the cakes, I now have my firm favourites at the bakery that I must buy each time I’m in Ballito!!! You can’t go wrong with the chocolate cake, fridge cake and the death by chocolate tart! If it were not for the gentleman who assisted me not sure if he still works here, I would never have tried out the baked goods… I never got his name, but whoever you are, thank you very much!!

Amazing, almost worth flying out. They have a very broad menu so you are sure to find something for even the pickiest eaters, and whatever you get it’s sure to be really good and really good value.

What an absolute pleasure it was to have breakfast at Yoli's inside The Market @ Lifestyle Centre, Ballito. With an extensive set breakfast menu there's also the option to fully customize your brekkie with an array of breads, pastries, protein, veg and accompaniments. Will def go back.

Stunning, original destination, with the most fabulous baked goods on offer. The best news is that they have opened a new shop, The Deli, close by. DO NOT MISS THE EISBEINS AND BEE-STING CAKES! And that's all we've tried so far!

Great breakfast and service, always fresh and big selection. best place for a quick bite

Bought a loaf of their sourdough bread - just delicious! It was light with a lovely sourish flavour which I find is missing in other sourdough breads. Definitely my favourite! Can't wait to try some of their other breads.
