Quaint restaurant. The facilities were fair. The food was was fair to good. Their service was very good and the staff were friendly. It's a basic cafe for a quick meal and coffee. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I ordered an eggs Benedict and I’m pretty sure it was cooked last week and just re-heated in a microwave. The hollandaise sauce completely solidified into a almost omelette type texture. Coffee was alright.
Essence has been a favourite whenever we have the opportunity to visit Franschhoek. They have a decent selection of breakfast and lunch options as well as something sweet if you are looking for a treat. In a town that pride itself on 5 star everything, I think their portion to price ratio is reasonable; I've never left disappointed. So as the other restaurants change with the season, it is nice to have one place that remains consistently good.
On a wet and miserable day this was a great recluse for excellent coffee and a snack. Well appointed, friendly and helpful staff. We shall be back. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person R 100–150

Restaurant is set in Hugonots square under big shady trees. Wonderful ambiance and peaceful. Food is good value for money and presented well. Nice wines available from local wine farms. Very helpful and friendly staff. The only problem is the parking in Franchoek. Well worth the visit.

As a motorcyclist this is the place where we stop every Sunday morning. Normally just for coffee outside . This morning it was raining so we did inside - the place is Dirty - floors walls need clean up . Cake display unit empty and Looks like it has not seen happiness for a long time , old canvases leaning on to the cake display . The waiter was not friendly did not listen to what we wanted . This coffee shop is in a prime place and have lots of potential. Impress us old low class Motorcyclists and give us i little freshness. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person R 250–300 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes English Breakfast

I was looking for a pub lunch in Franschhoek, but unfortunately most eateries are closed Mon - Wed due to Covid, so only reason I popped in. It's a pavement cafe for tourists. Prices on the menu reflect it. Service was good, food wasn't bad. OK for a quick coffee..

Not only the worst coffee but the worst frappe as well ! We had been visiting Franshoek with my Mom who is on holiday visiting us. So we decided to pop in for coffee frappe on our way home to be greated by a chalk board inviting people to taste the worst coffee according to a trip advisor patron. My first thought was wow they are really confident about their coffee. We ordered 2 coffee frappe's and wow was I really wrong. The coffee frappe was really bad. It was not blended properly at all with chucks of powder and ice. They tried to remake it but was just as bad and a lot more watered down. Another young couple visiting South Africa who had also ordered coffee sitting at a table next to us also left without drinking their coffee and also commented that the coffee was really bad. They should really take their customer feedback seriously instead of mocking them. Having said how bad the coffee was I cannot add any really positive comments about the service either.

We were there two days in a row. On Sunday it was cold and rainy. There was a fire which set up a warm atmosphere. Carrot cake, croissant with cheese and jam. Tea and cool drinks. On Monday, shame... My husband found it very difficult to get the orders which he wanted. No Soup or Bobotie neither Rye bread. In the end he settled for Mash, 2 pork rangers and gravy which were very nice. Our Waiter was very friendly and helpful. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 100–150 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Croissant and Scrambled Eggs
Terrible. Don't order the eggs Benedict. They have no idea how to make it. Food was cold. Eggs were raw. Service slow. Fire the chef. Simple.
