Regulars flock in for golden, fresh-fried vetkoek loaded with savoury fillings, hearty bunny chow, and flaky bobotie pies paired with red rooibos cappuccinos. The rustic cafe doubles as a home-style grocer, letting you grab house-cured biltong, boerewors, and bottles of kitchen-made chilli sauce before finishing off a chilled slice of cinnamon-dusted milk tart.

  • Authentic Regional Comforts: Golden vetkoek, rich bunny chow, bobotie pies, and comforting slices of traditional milk tart.

  • Accommodating Group Bookings & Gatherings

    The venue accommodates large group bookings and table reservations for gatherings that many typical cafes cannot easily host.

    I was able to book a table for 8 on a Saturday for lunch which a lot of cafes won't do.

  • Vetkoek

    I had the Vetkoek, which is a deep fried bread that is usually filled with curry, cheese or jam, but I had the bacon, egg, and onion relish filling, and it was amazing and delicious 🤩🤩😋😋 5 stars

    The biltong is out of this world! The owner of this joint can teach any South African butchery how to make proper biltong.
