    Perfect spot. Generous portions, decent prices, great staff, great atmosphere with a pretty water feature and even the bathroom is lovely (They also have a well-made soft baby changing mat)! They have gelato, frozen yoghurt and a chocolate shop that is definitely worth the visit.

    Was quite excited to discover this place. Came here twice and the food was quite mediocre... the noodle dish was too salty, but the spaghetti was alright. The English breakfast was standard. The atmosphere is quite enjoyable as there are many seats outside and on the patio. You can also have dessert with the gelato spot, and look around their small selection of handpainted pottery.

    the cafe was closed when I went in May 2023 and the man there said it closed in December 2022. there was only a small chocolate and ice cream store. the chocolates were good, the ice cream was unavailable.

    The food is always good. Portions have shrunk somewhat but not as much as other places. Their prices are still eminently reasonable by Harare standards. The service is questionable, the staff seem upset at having to actually serve customers but having seen their boss I don't blame them, I'd be perennially bitter having to deal with that nonsense. The oxtail is Great! But it runs out quickly so you better go early if you want that. Their hake is ayt but there's way better at Fishmonger's just up the road along East. The chicken dishes are spot on! The schnitzel, pesto and Portuguese half chicken are all packed full of flavour the portions filling. The side veggies that come with the meals are done just right, cooked but not to death, still bang-full of flavour and character. Their rice is basic, many could do better at home tbh. But their mash, oooh!!! Their mash is the one! Lovely creaminess and fluffiness, and beautifully seasoned. Presentation is always dope, no faffing about, just celebrating the fresh ingredients well delivered. Their coffees are good, but I'm a milkshake lover and theirs hold their own. Great cakes and muffins too. And their all day breakfasts ate very satisfying. They have a good selection of salads, I'm partial to the halloumi and avo.

  • 5/5 Christian L. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a gem in Harare! It sits on a auiet street with lots of parking in front of the door. I had a fantastic cappucino and a homemade lemonade, followed by their chocolate cake. All were absolutely perfect. But the best is the quiet seating in their beautiful garden. It is the perfect place to just relax, read a book, and get out of the city chaos. 100% recommended. You know where to find me when in Harare!
