    This cute coffee shop has amazing food and even better coffee. Days after eating there my husband and I couldn’t stop thinking about the sandwiches we ordered. I’d travel back to knysna just to order here again. The staff were friendly and serve you with the biggest smile. The only downside was the construction across the road which is unavoidable by the cafe itself. Thanks for the amazing service and unforgettable food and coffee πŸ™πŸΌ

    I eventually found a coffee shop that serves good cappuccino in a LARGE mug! Very impressed with the breakfast and looking forward to trying out their pizza and pasta dishes.

    Amazing little cafe for breakfast and lunch, terrific coffee, fresh baked good (their own sourdough and croissants!) and great selection of healthy brekkies, fresh juices etc. If you’re in Knysna and love food.

    Terrible service from staff and the manager. No one greeted us. I had to take the menu myself and it is first time in my life to see drinks menu without prices. So for every single drink we had to ask for prices and then the waiter had to go to the bar and check for prices, so then we wait. Every time they didn't have the drink available, we had to wait again for the waiter to check the price for the next drink. They didn't have rock shandy and ice tea in a jug. The waiter was also very frustrated, not smiling and not being friendly. We spoke with the manager and she said it is the way it is, and that she will bring us the prices for the drinks, but she never came back! I'm completely shocked how is this place still operating. They need to change the staff, the manager, the menus, everything!!! Definitely not recommending this place! I have attached a picture of the menu without prices.. absolutely ridiculous!!!

    I walked in for a quick take away coffee and I was told no by the cashier, she said they were busy., I aksed again.. No apology, no further discussion. Then found the manager, asked the manager for coffee. She gladly assisted to make me quick cup. Lazy people like do more damage to your business than you know. Not sure I'll spend my money here again

    The food is delicious however the service is so slow, and waitresses are very unhelpful. We were not seated, had to fetch our own menus, it took forever to place our order and the "door manager" is terribly rude and short. It is obvious that they are short staffed both in the kitchen and front of house. We arrived at 10am and left around 12.15pm. Plenty of other tables left without even placing an order. The quickest item we received was actually the bill. Would not recommend.

    Worst service in Knysna. We had a good breakfast with excellent coffee. But, the service!!! We all know December is tourism season. Hire more staff! And then.... when they are busy, they can't put a slice of cake in a takeaway??

    Great little spot on a sunny corner in Knysna. Really friendly staff with great food. Portions are a good size and taste great. We have the Halloumi Salad and the Beef Rump Kababs. Highly recommend will visit again.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I enjoyed my time and food at 34 Degrees South. If you sit outside, you get treated to awesome views too of what can be described like Venice. Towards the latter part of the day, you'll see a gorgeous South African sunset (if there are no clouds). I had some wine by the glass, one of the few places...
