    From the nostalgic decor to the service. This place is worth every cent you will spend here. I'm a burger guy so I went with the classic beef burger. I was super happy with my choice. The flavours pop from the toppings and the char from the party just completes the taste. Guaranteed to leave anyone smiling

    We visited Upcycled Cafe, for the 2nd time, on 14 Jan, little did we know that they were voted one of the Top 5 Restaurants in Gauteng by Hungry for Halaal only weeks earlier! We arrived at 1pm and, surprisingly, they were not as busy as one would expect at that time. Our party of 4 were seated immediately, having a wide choice of where we wanted to sit. I had the Trio of Ciabatta, which is excellent for the person who cannot decide which one to have, because it's one of each! The flavour combinations are unique and unexpected, but it just works = mango and chicken, and strawberry and salmon!! The Americano was good and strong with an offer milk on the side in a cute milk pale! The kids had pizzas which were huge, looked appetising and tasted delicious! We also had a toasted steak sandwich which was tasty and of course beautifully crispy on the outside, with a side of their delicately spiced chips. The milkshake was thick and creamy, passion fruit with lemonade and cola tonic were both good. They have an extensive menu, which means I could visit this establishment many times to try various options and their portions are a decent size. The burgers which were served to other tables looked large and delicious! The restaurant has LARGE windows and an open terrace area which lets in brilliant light and gives an airy feeling. Service was very good, decor is playful in pastel tones and tables are large and well spaced. The best part is that they have a bakery on site, with the most beautiful cakes, pastries and other baked goods which you can add onto your tab and take home! I would definitely visit them again.

    This place is just amazing! From the food to the ambience, to the decor, a perfect 10/10. Check out their sister branch Origami too if you're a fan of Asian Fusion 😉

    I've been told to go here by a few people but never got the opportunity. I must say UpCycle Cafe was fantastic. The location, food and overall vibe was excellent. We did have to wait for a table but honestly I didn't mind the wait as the food was great. They are based inside Lazeeza Bakery which also has some delectable delicacies. I would definitely go here again.

    The food at this restaurant is divine and the presentation will leave you awestruck. The portions are huge so you can at least take some of the deliciousness home. The staff are super friendly and know a lot about the food on the menu therefore providing you with great advice regarding the meals. I will definitely visit this place again.

    The Fillet Box made my husband's tastebuds explode with flavour. I've never seen that look on his face before - from the first bite until the last. The Spicy Chicken and Mayo Melt was delicious. I could see, smell and taste the freshness of the ingredients. Both plates were received with gratitude for the pride and passion that they were most certainly made with.

    Super Tasty. Super Service. Update: Went back 2 months later ordered a beef fillet (stringy and full of sinew) ate 30% returned the rest (no alternative offered, owner insisted it was 'fillet') AK47 was tasty though.

    The cheesecake was immaculate, the food was really delicious and the portion sizes are massive and compare well with the price, it is a little hard to find and the space is quite limited but it's worth the travel

    I have been wanting to dine at Upcycled Cafe for a very long time & finally shared the experience with my beautiful Family today. We enjoyed everything about it...the food, atmosphere & service was EXCELLENT. Big variety on their menu. I highly recommend it. I will definitely be going back many times.

    The food is always great - I’ve tried a little bit of everything on their menu and it never disappoints. Nozipho was very sweet, she gave us great service and helped us with our ordering. Will definitely make the trip back. Try the lotus bites they were divine.

    Great food and atmosphere! We arrived for mother's day lunch without making a reservation and were told there's a 45min wait. We agreed to wait and we asked if we could wait out on the terrace as it was a mild autumn day. We only waited about 10 to 15 minutes and once we got to our table we were not disappointed. Our server Thomas was very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back, maybe on a quieter morning for a good breakfast and some cheesecake. Thank you to the lady at the door who (even though the place was buzzing) was graceful with her interaction with trying to assist us. We are grateful you could accommodate us this Mother's day.
