    Dropped in for an early lunch on a Sunday, almost never had anything as the server told us that next time we need to make a reservation. Ordered a Large Cappuccino, not large and a beef burger, a little dry, bun and toppings were fresh. The chilli sauce on the table was nice, a little bit to it.

    An excellent place for a quiet meal. The food is great, and the ambience is lovely. There's a nice play area for the children so it caters to the whole family.

    Absolutely love the place. Not too overcrowded, gives off the right aesthetic without feeling uncomfortable from overcapacity! Out in the open air. A well cherished place. Love it there. Top tier service, the food is amazing . If you want relaxation and just be calm with your friends or family, it's the place to be🤎

    I went for breakfast, a simple meal, but boy did they pack in plenty of flavour, and their coffee is excellent. Carlos our waiter couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.

    This is a manager-run café, the best kind. Ant is a great host and we enjoyed our late morning lazy coffees and brunches. Anytime you think you know what you want to order, Ant comes over and tells you about a new creation he's been working on and we always went with his recommendation. Charming place, very casual and homely.

    Friends management arranged a fantastic mothers day lunch and flowers for 2 guests. The attention to detail was exceptional, professional and of high quality. The guests appreciated the services, enjoyed the food and had a pleasant day. Thank you for the hard work.

    I’ve been a couple times and ambiance, food and service is superb!! It is spacious with a lovely safe play area for children. The lavatory is clean and also has a baby changing area. Definitely going back again.

    Very disappointed in the amount of time it took to get me and my son's burgers had to wait 40 minutes and the zucchini fries had multiple burnt bits and my burger was not cooked through

    Absolutely outstanding cafe! Delicious food and amazing service! Lovely little playground with a trampoline. Great atmosphere with pallets hanging from the roof and plants hanging from the pallets. No distinct kids menu but there are still good choices for the whole family.

    This place is really stunning, I took a book and sat near the garden and play ground. Firstly, any cafe that does an alternative milk cuppacinno is already a win in my eyes and secondly the food was absolutely on point and I'm picky. Good value for what you pay, I highly recommend.

    Very peaceful and meals are great. Pottery painting is available on Wednesday would definitely recommend.

  • 1/5 Carol du P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 evelyn g. 2 years ago on Google
    The spinach and feta muffin is delicious. The service is excellent

  • 3/5 loretta m. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambiance is great, greatest disappointment was a very stale slice off red velvet cake.. Id recommend fresh food from the kitchen.. I was told they serve breakfast all day, I was discouraged by the waiter as this was going to take them long to prepare rather I choose an afternoon meal than breakfast... As a breakfast lover this made me sad.. The staff is amazing the waiters and manager that is , there's a young lady (Caucasian if it matters) who doesn't greet or smile much she was not in uniform so couldn't quite tell what her position was as she was helping waiters clear up.. Out of ten I'd give a 4½ only because I didn't get breakfast and settled for a stale cake😔 I'd give the staff 7 out of ten 😊

  • 4/5 sean m. 7 months ago on Google
    It's pretty good. Nice space, food is fine. Service isn't bad. I want to give it five stars, but they're not quite there. Timing in service, food on the plate, value for money ... 4/5 is fair.

  • 5/5 Pippa B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sarah J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Brian L. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place all around. The food was great and servers friendly. Ordered a steak and salad. It was according to expectations.

  • 3/5 Nyasha Shingayi Adler (. 9 months ago on Google
    Friends is nicely located and has beautiful facilities especially for children. The big downside is the service. I’ve been to Friends a few times and we’ve never had a decent service. We’ve either waited for more than 30 minutes to be served, mistreated or even badgered. Recently I was looking for a menu item I like & the waiter kept saying ‘Don’t look at the menu! Look at me! I’m the menu!.’ It was so awkward. I know he was trying to be helpful especially after he has stormed off prior to finishing up our drinks menu. He also patted the kids after he brought their food speaking about how he’s such a nice guy because he fed them first. It was a bit over the top.

  • 5/5 Noma M. 2 years ago on Google
    Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the frappes Very aesthetically pleasing and great customer service

  • 4/5 enock z. 11 months ago on Google
    Child friendly with a playground, great food, there are also plenty of things to see and do within close vicinity including a spa, chocolate shop, boutique and furniture but to mention a few. Lovely desserts

  • 4/5 Moselyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food with reasonable prices. Also good for families, they have a play ground that can keep the little ones busy. Midweek is best time to go as weekends are usually overwhelmed.

  • 4/5 Priv 1st C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Food! Relaxed Atmosphere that works equally well for a social engagement or quick Out Of The Office meeting. Garden seating is 👌. Their yummy breakfast options will definitely set you up for a great day. Kiddies' play area is a lovely touch. Friendly and invested staff too. Highly recommend..

    Great food, affordable prices. Service could have been better. The waiter seemed annoyed with our large order and said we were ordering too many things.
