City Perk Cafe

I like their breakfast, I haven't tried their lunch yet but looking forward to do so.

Really enjoy the food at city perk. But the woman serving at the window really needs to check her attitude

Exceptional wonderful with good food and excellent customer care they will give you a treat of a king and queen, with exceptional staff.

Great hospitality, great stuff, great location and overall best of Jo'burg. One of the few authentic gems of marshalltown still standing and making great food. True epitome of 'town'.

Try the stack breakfast together with their home made chilli sauce if you're a fan of hot stuff. Its a little bundle of happiness

This café is in a well gentrified area of the inner city. The eye is bombarded with a million and one points of interest from the mosaic tile paving to the art deco facade of the neighbouring buildings - it is indeed a beautiful spot.

The food was fine with a significant serving size but the price matches. The gourmet sandwich I had would have been better with smoked salmon as per the menu, however they were out. I appreciate them being accommodating of that with the substitution of poached salmon. The milkshake was delicious.

I am giving a 4 star rating because the wait was very long but the service in terms of friendliness was good.

Had a scheduled day at the Mineral Council, looked for a coffee shop in close proximity that opened early (prefer coming in early to avoid the traffic). From the webpage, they stipulated a 06h30 opening. Perfect!
Arrived at 06h32 and they were open, still busy packing out the outside tables, chairs and umbrellas, but they managed to open a path between the stacked chairs for me to access a corner table.
Coffee machine was already on and it was not long and I had a Americano Grande in front of me, piping hot with some creme. Perfect.
Not the best Espresso beans, but certainly suitable for your medium roast palates.
Took about 45minutes to get the tables and chairs all sorted.
Cleaning lady came round washing the floors, strong chemical smell, assume Jik bleach or such. Tended to singe the palate and nasal cavities - perhaps a better idea at the end of shift?
Tables and chairs were suitable (fit for purpose) and the tables, cutlery and crockery was clean and not harsh on the eye. Morning newspapers were also available to peruse through to aid passing the time - been awhile since I last paged through a newspaper.
Ordered a omelette from the Bantings friendly menu (kudos guys). Was reasonably well presented, a little dry for my likes, but the fresh avocado pear helped ease it down.
Other customers came and went, particularly the outside coffee on the run/to go service. Noticed a window front area where those with laptops can work, out the way for the dash and grabbers.
The art on display was interesting and added to the ambiance.
Staff were friendly and service was good.
Would gladly go again should the need arise.
By the time I left at 08h30, the cafe was in full swing.

This is a really good spot for a coffee or a drink in the inner city. It's a clear indication of how the city's cafe culture could develop. Open til 4

Good food, slightly slow service during busy rush hour. Beautiful setting. Lovely experience all round
