👍 For the first time in my life I never needed to ask for extra hollandaise sauce lol even though the chef didn’t get the poached egg right, the food was good. They also seem to have daily specials. The parking situation is a bit confusing, the entrance I used was opposite GIBBS which wasn’t the right... People often mention good, great, friendly, Great, service, coffee, atmosphere, staff, experience,

    For the first time in my life I never needed to ask for extra hollandaise sauce lol even though the chef didn’t get the poached egg right, the food was good. They also seem to have daily specials. The parking situation is a bit confusing, the entrance I used was opposite GIBBS which wasn’t the right one as you go through the PC components part of the business. So I’d suggest using the entrance on the other side? Or call to confirm. The setup is nice and has a jungle vibe as well as has fish tanks all around. It’s also possible to buy jams etc from the shop inside. All in all not a bad experience.

    A great new coffee and dining venue in East London. Really good coffee and the freshly baked scones and muffins are served with generous amounts of butter, cream, cheese and jams. Thoroughly enjoyed the in-house baked meat pies and veg for lunch too. Highly recommended!

    Sit on the deck or in the tranquil garden. Always greeted with a smile by the friendly staff and good food at great prices. Don't forget to try the CBD coffee!

    Talk about "East London Hiden gems" ❗ I was surprised to find out that this place has existed for around 10yrs! How? Anyway I enjoyed my brunch at a very affordable price of Wednesday specials🤗 If you're around Berea,pop in sis! You won't regret it They have enough parking however the entrance can confuse you, turn left at the robots and the first left again and again ,and that's your entrance. However, if you are not driving like me, you can use the entrance off PEARCE street (@ com office)

    The kids love it because of the fish. I love it because the running water is so calming. Nice environment, good food and great service. Planning our Xmas party here so can't wait. Never had a buffet here but always seems very appetizing. Definitely a hidden gem in east london. U wd never say that this beautiful place is hidden just looking at the front. Happy my dad pointed this place out to me!!!

    What a strange but nice place. They sell everything. A real Aladin's cave. Restaurant, clothes, electronics, vegetables and... Wait for it... An aquarium shop. To name a few. LOVE THIS PLACE.

    Very pleasant. Service was first class. Food was brought promptly. Good size portion. The plants and fish weren't my cup of tea, but would definitely go back.

    My wife and I recently tried it out and enjoyed the setting and atmopshere - we indulged in a scone and coffee and loved the presentation - definitely keen to exllore their lunch or dinner menu options - but definitely a great spot to catch up.

    Met a close friend yesterday. Did not of this little gem in the heart of the city. Great, green atmosphere, friendly staff. Worth visiting

  • 5/5 Rowan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always delicious. A calm oasis in a crazy world. Awesome cheesecake and coffee, but don't take my word for it...try it for yourself!

  • 4/5 Odette D. 4 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely breakfast today. Loved the experience. Felt very relaxed .Menu offered a variety of options from which to choose. Both savory and sweet. Cappuccino was spot on. The young lady who waited on our table, was friendly, polite and made us feel welcome. Bonus was the parking area, as the Cafe has it's own parking. No need to park in the street. Loved the little shop in front.

    Had a pizza and a banana milkshake. Food was nice. Services took forever. My billing was wrong. Overall the place is nice but not if you going with a big crowd of people

  • 3/5 Mark S. 7 months ago on Google
    An enjoyable French styled evening with a pleasant and well priced three course meal. Obviously, this is a new offering and they need to sort out a few teething problems with the service.

  • 5/5 Murray F. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down, the best value for money restaurant in East London. Lovely setting, friendly and efficient staff, superb coffee all at a really good price.

  • 4/5 Marco G. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place. Nice atmosphere where we had breakfast and drinks and enjoyed it tremendously. There are few items on sale as well including jams homemade and chilli sauces etc. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Leon Van H. 2 years ago on Google
    What a delightful experience! Well surprised by the decor of this hidden GEM! Food was really good and not badly priced. Condiment bottles , HOWEVER, was not clean and very sticky . Should be cleaned after every patron leaves . Will most definitely visit establishment again . Waitress are well trained and showed knowledge of the menu and introduced daily "specials" . Great Stuff!

    A unique and tranquil atmosphere for someone just coming to destress from EL's terrible drivers or for a family to have their kids enjoy their amazing pond features. Fabulous weekly specials and great food. You guys have certainly come a long way from being just an office business with a backdoor cafe.

    I looooooved it! If you love nature and good food, that's your spot. Lovely staff. Not hectic at all, price wise.

  • 4/5 Jed P. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks can be deceiving this place may not look like a sophisticated restaurant but the food is top quality. I ordered there flapjacks they were cheap large portioned and extremely well balanced with very little incorporated sugar meaning the sweetness can be adjusted by customer. Would highly recommend this place

  • 5/5 Teresa de V. 2 years ago on Google
    What an awesome space and experience. Food was delicious. 10/10 recommend.

  • 4/5 Norah Ann W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great. Need a second waiter, as the one we had was overworked. We could not pay for goods we wanted to buy at the shop. Long queue. Food and coffee excellent.

  • 5/5 Louis Van Der W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was excellent and service was great. Waitress went the extra mile. Place on the inside makes you feel like you've escaped from the city and that you are having a picnic in the woods. Great for families or gathering with friends or colleagues. Hidden gem.

  • 4/5 Inganathi 2 years ago on Google
    .Com cafe was a very lovely experience as the waiters and waitresses were very pleasant and kind. The food there is amazing. They have excellent service as I was not waiting very long. Very reasonable prices too.

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience
