    This was exactly what we have been looking for in the area. Cosy cafe with a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and excellent staff. We had one of my favorites, eggs Benedict. I have to say this variation was the most unique and delicious combination I have ever tasted. Well done to Cherise and the staff for creating such a wonderful place in the neighborhood. God bless!

    Very well priced! I loved the atmosphere and the friendly waiters. The highlight was a 3D printed image on my cuppachino. If I lived in Mosselbay, I'd go there very often.

    Immediately fell in in love with this cute café and its staff the moment I stepped in. Lovely quaint place away from branded plastic shops. More this sort of thing for Mosselbay, please. They made a great cappuccino that was customized and served as if I was a celebrity... Nice variety of snacks and beverages, vegetarian option available, very nice and welcoming atmosphere.

    Krotoa is a fantastic little coffee shop just a few minutes from Diaz beach in Mosselbay. Stop here for a hearty breakfast or a delicious lunch and your day will be better for it! If you're ever in Mosselbay do pop in here, they are very affordable with a great tasting menu. Absolutely loved it!

    Very nice coffeehouse. Perfect setting. Perfect place to sit and relax on a cold rainy day or just pretty much every other day.

    Krotoa is a trendy coffee shop in Mossel Bay. Easily accessible with indoor and outdoor seating. It has a chilled vibe with extremely friendly and helpful waitrons. Good service and excellent value for money. Very affordable. I order the Eggs Benedict off the breakfast menu which is highly recommended and was very tasty.

    We love visiting this place when we are in Mossel Bay. This restaurant is named after Krotea, a Xhosa girl who was born in the 1600's and who worked for the VOC as a translator. The food is well priced and is very tasty. I had a salted caramel cake which is to die for. The vibe is friendly and there is an amazing ambience. The coffee is also very good and together with the superb service, this is the place to be.

    Absolutely love this little gem! Amazing coffee, vibes, food and service! They are super accommodating regarding dietary restrictions and it is a joy to support them! The food and all the bakery goods are delicious and I would highly recommend their coffee or juices for a refreshing daily stop☕️

    Great place to get breakfast. You must try their Fig and chicken quiche. It was amazing. Their portion sizes are really good as well. Wife had a croissant with biltong and egg with chips. We both got cappuccinos. There's an option of single and double shot expresso. The waiter was the most charismatic I've ever come across he should get a raise, as he gave the best recommendations on the menu.We will definitely be returning.

    This is a little gem of a coffee shop and is not trying to compete with the popular places. That is some of its attractions, they have great service and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I like to go here to get away from noise and have not been disappointed when I choose this little place. Krotoa does set itself apart and that makes it quirky and interesting.

    Great coffee is art. Thanks to Sam, the barista at Krotoa, on the corner of Marsh and Mitchell streets in Mossel Bay, for creating art every day. Great coffee, nice vibe, and friendly staff will ensure many returns.

  • 5/5 Phoebe H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome vibes and even better food! The staff were all super friendly and made sure our experience was truly wonderful. I had the Brie, ham, and preserved fig croissant with a side salad- so delicious with an amazing homemade salad dressing! And the coffee is impeccable. Must come here whenever you’re in Mossel Bay!

  • 5/5 Carel K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee. Exceptional Eggs Benedict 5 Star friendliness from the owner herself. It's refreshing to see a young owner working in her own restaurant to make it as good as can be. I can really recommend this establishment for someone who just want a quick coffee to an excellent breakfast. Have not yet tried the lunches but if the breakfast is anything to go by... I expect good things. I hope and trust that Krotoa will become a landmark in Mossel Bay

  • 4/5 Jessica V. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff were incredibly friendly and went out their way to accommodate my daughter and show her how how they do their picasso art on her hot chocolate. They have this amazing coffee art service where they put your picture on a hot chocolate or mug of coffee! Food is delicious and freshly prepared, therefore you wait a little bit for it - but it's well worth the wait. Everything is very well priced. We will definitely go back.

  • 4/5 De Villiers V. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely friendly reception by the owner/manager and staff. Excellent service within a beautiful setting and amazing views of the bay and harbour. Coffee was really great and the ambience and interior awesome. I was somehow disappointed with my over cooked Eggs Benedict but at least I am sure it will be taken care of next time. Keep it up Krotoa!

  • 1/5 Franziska 2 years ago on Google
    Service overloaded, guests not being served. The food is nothing special and not very taseful. smoothies were only brought after we had already finished eating and were about to leave. The two different smoothies both tasted like nothing. The orange juice is 80% crushed ice. The guests to the left and right of us left at some point when they didn't feel like waiting any longer for their food. Cant recommend

  • 5/5 Denise L. 2 years ago on Google
    Such friendly staff! Came here 3 times in one week, just an AMAZING vibe. Please visit and support, you will want to come back for more!!
