    Visited with my Mum for brunch during the week and was very happy! We got fondue with bananas and strawberries for 2 people. At only $25 there was a lot of fruit, and the chocolate was absolutely delicious! We also got coffee and Horchata (which the barista described as like their spiced chai). I really enjoyed my drink. We sat indoors in the window alcove with a lovely view of the outdoor seating area. The cafe is beautifully decorated with warm wood, and dark tones , and cosy vibes. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and I really appreciated the disability inclusivity within the staffing team. Already planning to come back this weekend - thank you staff!

    Excellent service and the cappuccino and breakfast was wonderful and the homemade chocolates were to die for! Joel and staff were friendly and helpful in suggesting places for us to tour while here from Arizona. Robert & Victoria

    We went here to celebrate my wife's birthday. We tried their chicken burger and shepherd's pie. As for the chicken burger, it is one of the best-tasting café burgers I have tried. It has the right amount of spice and goes well with the bacon and everything inside. The portion is also quite huge for the buck. As for my wife, she had the most fantastic shepherd's pie. The beef strips (not ground) were so tender and soft and gave us a whole different concept of how a shepherd's pie should be. We finished off with their waffle dessert. It has fresh strawberries, bananas, and a generous loading of Belgian chocolate. Hands down, one of the best late lunches we had!

    Spent $39 on high tea, first of all the table was dirty, and nobody came to wipe it down. There was minimal effort into the experience of high tea. Would have been better value for money to order off the regular menu.

    Cozy spot! Our Sunday afternoon dessert outing with family was fantastic. Indoors or outdoors, it's your choice. Delicious desserts made our day special!

    Excellent place for breakfast. We had a group of 30 on a Sunday morning a few weeks ago. The food was amazing and HUGE soooo much on the plate. Service was fantastic and the place was full. Lovely outdoor area front and back. Would 100% recommend you will not be disappointed.

    This coffee shop is basically a chocolate lover's paradise! They've got so many types of chocolate; it's like a dream. From your usual favorites to some fancy, out-there choices. Pair that with awesome coffee, and you've got a sweet combo that's too good to pass up. Seriously, if you're into coffee and chocolate, this spot is a must-try!

    I had the Vintage Breakfast, $26 absolutely UNREAL. Every part of it was amazing from the tomatoes to the perfectly poached eggs, the beans where seasoned so well, bacon was perfect. Definitely coming back and getting it again. Couple young boys working here, good on em, some shaky hands carrying coffees over but they’ll be right. Lovely outside area, inside was nice and air conditioned. Only thing I had a problem with was the music, just your generic over played vibe. Definitely get a nice playlist together with some fresher, alternative songs.

    It was quiet for a sunny Sunday morning... sat under the pergola. Very friendly and welcoming team! Ordered 2 coffees and brekkie burgers. Came out fast! Delicious, with the relish giving the burger a bit of zing! Definitely will go again (before the weekend crowds arrive)

    The food was absolutely amazing and full of flavour, the sourdough bread that was served with my eggs Benny as if it was baked on that day, the eggs were cooked to perfection also the hollandaise sauce was the perfect amount of zest. The atmosphere was very welcoming as soon as you walk through the doors and absolutely amazing decor as well. All their staff were very friendly and welcoming, I would 10/10 recommend this place if your looking for a nice feed and/or coffee

    Our friends ordered huge cooked breakfasts but I reckon we did even better with our amazing porridge and waffle selections. And then they have these hand made treats to go with your coffee… Highly recommended.

    Friendly, welcoming staff. Food was tasty and delicious and delivered in a timely manner. The only negative for me being the coffee which I found to be a bit bland...but the overall experience was enjoyable and would definitely recommend.

    Bracegirdles McLaren Vale remains there best store . Service and staff are A1 and nothing here dissapoints. My bestie and I used to frequent and now I've moved 5 hours away we still catch up there when I'm in town. I also use their chocolate belgian buttons at home for making hot chocolates when I'm away.

    Nice hot chocolates and the double decker waffle was so good 😊

  • 1/5 Bette P. 1 year ago on Google
    Yes the hot chocolate was lovely I suggest you stick to what you are good at. Ordered the chorizo squid salad on the specials board and it was very poor quality. Squid was under cooked, tomatoes looked and tasted like they were cut days before rocket was showing signs of rot. Very disappointed.I did let the waitress and there was no response from chef or management.

    Fantastic place to have a lunch during your winery trip. The food was delicious and enogh for everyone. Gets quite busy, so you might have to play the waiting game on busy days. Great atmosphere, you can choose to sit inside or outside. It was a lovely weather for us so we sat outside with glass roof shades while enjoying our meal.

    My partner took me here for breakfast this morning. My partner had the Vintage Big Breakfast & I had the Benny Breakfast with Salmon. Both dishes were amazingly yummy and very filling (our compliments to the chef) & the cappuccino’s were also great. The staff were great & very friendly. We will definitely be back ….. We will have to try the lunch menu, it looks really yummy …… And lastly, you can’t leave without buying some yummy chocolate. We bought a milk & dark chocolate bar as well as some milk Koalas, yum, yum, yum …. They would make great Xmas pressies ….. See you soon :)

    Love Bracegirdles! Food and drink are really nice as is the atmosphere. Indoor and shaded outdoor seating. Service was a little slow, but they did apologise profusely, so I'm guessing that's not normal. High recommend!

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhh yeah. Great place for a late brunch✨️ they were kind enough to serve us even though it was 3pm ish. Very kind people working here, with attention to detail and nice touch. Coffee was great. Yes... do come here!

    I had an iced chocolate and it was absolutely delicious!! Lovely staff and a very nice place altogether!! My only complaint is that it is slightly pricey, it was $9.50 for an iced chocolate, which is on the more expensive end. Overall though great place, would definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Katie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a Sunday breaky or lunch. Would recommend their sweet dishes over something savoury that’s what they do best. Their hot chocolates and frappes are amazing made with their chocolate.

    Cool cafe/eatery/chocolate shop, plenty of seating outside and inside, plenty of food options to choose from, coffee is decent, staff friendly!

    Stopped by on a Monday shortly before they were scheduled to close and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. The Shepards Pie was outstanding and my wife loved her veggie burger with a corn fritter. Chocolates and coffee were great as well. Thank you to the wonderful staff
