  • 4/5 Tavashe 1 year ago on Google • 135 reviews
    Best Lotus cheesecake I have ever had 😋. Loved the strawberry 🍓 smoothie. They have large cake 🍰 slices( value for money). Cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake 😋😋 Don’t make a mistake I did , ordering a cake slide with a smoothie. You won’t finish it 😒. Walked out with an elephant belly. I was super full. Cosy little spot with views of 2nd street extension. Give out some chill out vibes. Place is clean with friendly and cheerful staff. Their cellphone line was quick to respond and gave great recommendations of what to order before we got there. They accept both the local currency and USD 👍🏾. There is enough parking 🅿️ and reasonable enough sitting space.

    One of my favorite places in Harare! The ambiance is great and the food is even better. What I love is that the prices are very very reasonable! It can be really crowded at times and the service is typically slow, so don’t go there in a hurry

    This is a perfect place for coffee. We had a scone and cinnamon bun those were awesome too. ( paid $17 )By the taste of these things I can guess the food to be excellent too. Definitely would go there again. The customer service was good too. All in all very good experience. They are open till 9:30

    I thoroughly enjoyed their baked goods and the wide variety of options. However on a recent visit I was disappointed to find that they served potato crisps as a side with freshly cooked food I strongly feel they should revisit this menu choice

  • 5/5 Tanya Shanitah N. 1 year ago on Google
    Best carrot cake I have tasted yet! And the “I’ll have what he’s having” burger is to die for. Service was quick though they forgot to bring the 4th plate on time 🤣. The scrumptious meals made up for it - easy on the pocket too. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Cafélata is my favorite hot cup ☕. Served so nice and delicious. Best value for money. Burgers are available, different sizes all varieties from double cheese burgers, chicken burgers and beef burgers. I enjoyed the beef burger 🍔 and chilled drink. Get all your desserts at a cheaper price. Quality guaranteed and affordable prices. The service quality is excellent with a lot of variety. WiFi Hotspot is available upon request

    I’m not sure I liked the idea of sharing the restaurant with tyres…but I must admit, the Tyre shop doesn’t take away much from the atmosphere of the restaurant. I had their mini breakfast which I liked a lot. Service is excellent!

    Service is slow but food is yummy! The scones are soft and scrumptious 😍 new York cheese cake is rich and tasty. Enjoyed the mocktails too.

    One has to just look at the extensive selection of baked goods on their menu to understand that this is a special place. If you have a sweet tooth or an appreciation of what a proper patisserie is then this is the place for you. Very good coffee, great baked goods and hearty comfort food.

    Great variety of cakes, cheese cakes and other desserts. Menu also has a variety of savoury offerings. My wife likes the New York style cheese cake, (but for me it's ruined by the lemon rinds) and the red velvet cake. The slices are quite generous.

  • 3/5 Shaahid I. 2 years ago on Google
    Good quality food, across the lunch menu. Steak and cheese was really good. Desserts were quite good. All in all a little expensive for the place I thought. Massive let down is the time taken to prepare the order, at least 40 mins for lunch and 30 for dessert. Ongoing takeaway orders causing a problem. Mocktails are ok but not great.

  • 3/5 Danny A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and staff are well trained and everything was lovely. The only issue was the women who I think is the owner I couldn't get her name, she steers you down the whole time I was there she gave me and my friends uncomfortable looks as if to be judging us on our appearance. It was super uncomfortable and we decided to get a take away because of this.. I would recommend that they don't keep her in the front of house.

    Good coffee, nice food most of the time the potato crisps as a side are a little miss leading otherwise nice halal food options. However I took tiramisu cake as takeaway which was not edible and had to throw it out.

  • 4/5 Natasha K. 4 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    The ambiance is great and their meals are affordable. Ordered the man burger which I enjoyed a lot, however was disappointed that they serve potato crisps as their side dish, would recommend they give people an option to choose side dishes.

    The service has gotten a bit too relaxed. Our waitress took forever to assist us, forever to bring the bill and change. And sadly they were not too busy at all which is a shame as their service and food used to be wonderful

  • 3/5 norman s. 3 years ago on Google
    Good joint, but some of the staff is not customer friendly. I was asked to place an order as I walked in. This was before I'd even looked at their products. How do you place an order before you see what's on offer? 🤷‍♂️

  • 5/5 Kuda M. 3 years ago on Google
    The only place I can trust when I need great cheese cake. They have maintained their standard of excellence

  • 4/5 Jermaine M. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to sit and relax with a Very pricey menu . I had a plate of nachos which had a bit of a twist to them in that the chips were on top of the toppings, this made it impractical to eat without a fork and had mixed feelings about the tinned baked beans that being said the portion did enough to fill me up . As for the deserts! I loved the carrot cake 9/10 very well done indeed , the scone was a bit crumbly but it came with cream butter and jam so I was happy !

  • 5/5 rose j. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Hamahu T. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places in Harare, clean, amazing staff. The food is fresh, the Menu is a delight to chose from. I loved their Philli cheese sandwich. Their toilets are clean as well. You basically get your money worth.

  • 5/5 Aretha G. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite cake place in Harare. the carrot cake and salted caramel cheesecake never disappoint. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth and enjoys a good cheesecake.

  • 4/5 Tendai M. 2 years ago on Google
    As in its name, Classic Desserts has classic Desserts that are unique and rich, definitely made with the finest ingredients. Try their red velvet cake or cinnamon cream bun with a cup of coffee and you will definitely be coming back more often. I would give you 5 stars but there is always that room for improvement....especially when it comes to change for big notes.

  • 4/5 Makanda Takudzwanashe. L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very warm service, delicious moist sponge cakes and comfy set up

  • 4/5 Kim B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Cappuccino Viennese in Zimbabwe. If you want delicious desserts, good service and light meals well priced. Halaal. Worth a visit even though I would prefer a different environment to enjoy my ice cream sundae.

  • 4/5 Nina G. 2 years ago on Google
    Classic Desserts have some of the best, most delectable, to-die-for cheesecake in town. Clean, with sheltered seating outside, they offer a fairly good range of eats, from most things savoury to sweet at prices that are on par with most other coffee shops. There are breakfast and lunch options as well as light meals, cakes, and muffins. However, despite their extensive menu, not everything was available, so be prepared to have a second, or even third option at hand when ordering. It's also not a great place to bring toddlers to, or kids under the age of 5, as there is no safe space for them to run around in. So unless you're popping in for a takeaway, best to leave the toddlers at home if you want to spend your time savouring the cheesecake! 😊

  • 5/5 munikwa m. 2 years ago on Google
    I don't have much of a sweet tooth but some of the best cakes in town. You definitely should try some

    Awesome food and presentation was on point... Lovely set up and outside seating overlooks a little fountain which added to a lovely atmosphere. Will definately recommend this restaurant..

  • 5/5 michelle j. 1 year ago on Google
    Their red velvet cake is simply out of this world. Another perk is also that they're environmentally friendly. I really enjoyed my cake and coffee.

  • 4/5 Mayie P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is great, fresh and clean and the portions for the main meals are filling..the waiters are not that friendly, like they are forced to be at work or something but the manager was cool..

  • 5/5 Fyodor M. 1 year ago on Google
    Affordable and good quality food. Lacking in the baked cheesecake department. The two times I have visited, they didn't have it, but baked cheesecake seems to come at a premium in Harare. Nonetheless, excellent atmosphere and friendly waitstaff. Reliable WiFi if you need to work or surf.

  • 5/5 Thomas M. 11 months ago on Google
    This is my favourite hangout place every other Sunday. The service is great and staff is very super friendly. They serve one of the best coffee and cake in town. I also enjoy watching my soccer matches from there. The staff have even comforted me when my team got walloped kkkk. Kid friendly as well.

  • 3/5 Faizan P. 8 months ago on Google
    Theres only been one consistency with this place; the customer service is terrible. The staff won’t smile they’ll rush you and they serve you very late almost always a 5 minute wait even when the staff members are free. Food is good though 👍

  • 3/5 Rowdy M. 8 months ago on Google
    I believe thos could be a very good spot to meet with friends and for business meetings over coffee ☕️ but the place is a let down, as its not accessible for disabled people, there's no ramp, though it can be installed easily but lack of consideration for the disabled is the reason why they don't have it. There's room to improve and turn this place in a cosy café.

  • 4/5 craig c. 4 months ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, excellent food, quick service aaaaaand most importantly make a plan to have change!!!!

  • 5/5 Simphiwe G. 1 month ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    It's the perfect place to grab a coffee and some cake. And it opens later than other cafes. They have a variety of cakes including other baked goods like cookies and brownies and muffins. The service was nice and the prices are affordable.
