The service is good, the food is out of this world and the tranquil setting is very peaceful. Also very private establishment. Cocktail menu is available and clean toilets. Conference facilities are available as well as rooms at the adjacent Concierge Hotel.
The ambiance is exquisite and everyone is incredibly friendly. Staff are well trained and very hospitalable. We had breakfast here and it was amazing.
The place itself is incredibly picturesque and beautiful. Truly a tranquil little gem snuggled in the busy city.
10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful set up nesting under a massive tree. One feels this closeness with nature as you sip on your morning cappuccino and take a bite of your freshly prepared breakfast. The staff are very friendly and professional. The menu is uniquely put together taking into consideration the modern individual with a need to eat healthier food. Fresh vegetable juices are prepared as you wait. Certainly one of my favourite cafés in Durban.
There are high bar chairs inside as well as outside relaxed seating. Ample safe secure parking and a play area for smaller children.
I was in Durban on Vacation, we made a turn to Freedom Cafe for breakfast, we ended up sitting there the whole day, iv never set at a restaurant for more than 8 hours.... we had to cancel all our plans scheduled for that day, we were so comfortable, it's such a private and beautiful space... the deco inside and out, modern yet vintage style... I LOVE IT.! The hospitality, the respect from the staff, it's out of this world... uMadlamini served us from morning until evening never got tired of our demands, with her beautiful personality and smile . I will highly recommend this place to everyone I know that would be visiting Durban. Thank you so much for making my day such a beautiful experience. I was there on the 3 Nov 20019.
Good service, nice atmosphere, decent food. Food was slow to arrive but we were informed and you can see the staff is doing everything they can.

Went to Freedom Cafe on Sunday, left very underwhelmed.
The location was okay, we sat at the outside seating at the back since the front was busy. Our waiter was a pleasant guy, he visited the table often but never stayed long enough to get everything we wanted so we found ourselves calling on him often.
Our food left alot to be desired. . . I was not a fan of the Macon in the Omelette, odd flavour and very fatty.
**The bathrooms need a little refresh.
I would go for a drink in the front area, however they wouldn't be on the top of my list of places to go agian.
TL;DR - Not going back.
I have been wanting to eat at Freedom Cafe for sometime now and I must say that it was very disappointing. They did not have avocado, mushroom and orange juice available - that cuts out a lot of breakfast options. The waiter then suggested a fruit blend juice which tasted like syrup diluted in water (we wanted fresh juice; as it appeared on the menu). We also ordered an iced coffee which was pathetic. After sitting outside for a while we asked to move indoors as the seats were dirty and it was a windy day. It was a blistering, humid day of 34 degrees and the air-con was not working. At this point we were concerned about the quality of the food. Luckily the food was decent. This along with the service provided by the waiter has resulted in a 2-star rating. If not for these two things I would not have given any (if that was possible).
Service was terrible, forced to pay a Tip because it is already added in the BILL...the only thing i enjoy was their Freedom Burger. The chicken was not cooked, horrible, the waiter didn't know anything on the menu, had to call bartender to come explain the drinks, Chef was also called to explain the menu. The burgers were priced R75 on the menu and when the bill came, we were charged R100. (R25 more, disgusting)
Thank youbto Radio of Colour(ROC) for the entertainment, really enjoyed it
