Restaurant Karoo Cafe reviews
37The service is terrible. The waiters don't even attempt to greet you or be friendly. We had 3 different meals and all were tasteless and dry. It's clearly old food they are serving us and reheating. Manager not even avaliable for feedback.
Very poor service. The waiters just ignored us and when the coffee came eventually, it was cold. Not a good experience
Arrived at 11h20 for a coffee and a breakfast, only attended to at 11h48 and then told by the waitress that breakfast is served only till 11h30. We told her that we were waiting forever and all we got was ' Eish it's already 18 minutes too late. ' We ordered 2 coffees which the waitress carried in her hands no tray.absolutely shocking service. A definite no go!
The worst service I've experienced in a long time. Expect to wait at least an hour for your food and the order will be wrong as well. Waitress is absent, no apology provided for long wait
I ended up waiting close to 2 hours. Had to go to the kitchen to ensure the order was correct as they kept getting it wrong. Ruined our day going to this restaurant
Waiters are a bit aloof. Arrived table was very sticky, they wiped it down and it was still sticky. No sanitizing on entry. Service was slow, had to remind waitress several times about our orders. Had ordered coffees, milkshake and cake and pie. Coffee was okay. The rest was not great, wouldn't really go back.
Tables not cleaned. Asked for someone to clean no body did. Not a good thing in thus day and age.food good.
The surroundings and the restaurant itself are beautiful and inspiring. The coffee roastery adjacent to the nursery produces excellent coffee! Whereas the service in the restaurant is good, the meals are unfortunately mediocre and disappointing. So sad.
Definitely a cool place particularly in this area- a vibrant aesthetic and with lots of cool things to look at- books, pottery… The food wasn’t great though, and neither was the coffee. Not terrible, but just pretty lackluster. The dirty chai latte was awesome though! And we had a good time anyways being here for breakfast, so I’d recommend a visit:)
Perfect if you want to work and eat something- no music- Lovely! Also perfect to have a meeting with somebody
But service slow - food can be better. I ate the chorisio omelette- the sundried tomato did not taste good - I got the idea the omelette was not made fresh- I may be wrong - but it tasted warmed up - the chorizo was not very spicy - I expected a bit of more spice and the bread came with butter - but I was not asked if I would like something else- like jam or tomatosauce. - food is put down and the waitress walks away quickly. The unbaked chocolate sweet with the tea was rock hard - thank you a kind thought though- but could not eat it at all
The food and drinks were good, and having a bookshop on the premises is an excellent idea, but the service when we were there was poor.
Excellent coffee & cappuccino.
Others in our group had delicious meals.
Especially the omelets. Service good.
Great food, ambience and service. Love the little shop, the fish tank and hydroponics. The other shops around are great too. And the chickens, water garden and dog. Lovely "farm" feel. Women's bathroom stall is very small though - my mother struggled to get in and out. But we'll definitely visit again.
The mushroom, bacon and feta quiche with black rice salad was absolutely delicious. Lovely atmosphere as well.
Great food, and really good coffee. So delicious. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, and we love the used bookshop that shares its venue. Be prepared to stay for a while, however, as the service is unfortunately quite slow and inattentive.
Lovely and relaxed atmosphere with excellent cuisine. Although it has a warm and friendly feeling we felt safe during Covid epidemic due to big and airy open space.
Food was fantastic, lovely atmosphere amd beautiful surroundings. Walk around and check out the leather shop, pottery studio and jeweller.
Nice place with beautiful set up. Some great traditional meals on offer, but we only feel like ordering some salad and veggie wrap. Great coffee indeed!
The experience was great. Good food, good company, couches, I love the couches, the books and the dog.
Very busy good coffee and cake - service was good - would like it if there was more parking shade - more shade trees maybe
