The versatility of The Talkhouse is unparalleled. Need a quick caffeine fix, a place to work the afternoon away, place to meet with friends. This place can do it all. And the best part of it, the coffee is great. They traditionally use the Friendly Blend Coffee Beans from Bluebird Coffee Roastery which was founded around the corner from here. Staff are amazing and the atmosphere is always buzzing. It feels like my ‘Central Perk’ !

I love love love this Cafe. I'm always greeted with such excitement by the staff and owner. The care they give their customers is unparalleled, and the food is out of this world. I loved my pesto chicken on butternut meal, it was tender and delicious!

Before going to this incredible restaurant, you should skip a few meals. You can't help but eat every dish because they are all so delicious. Excellent, modest, and lovely find. A tasting meal with a lot of variety and good value. Delicious meal with excellent presentation, service, and creativity. a top attraction in Westville. The Talkhouse was fantastic in every way. It smelled pleasant and was clean. The staff worked collaboratively, and our waiter was so kind.
One thing that particularly impressed us was how hospitable everyone there was. Nearly every customer felt at home at this restaurant, and it was lovely to see how each one was recognized on a personal basis. Each employee here gives the consumer extraordinary attention. If I said I had ever been treated that way in a restaurant, I'd be lying. What a warm welcome, followed by outstanding cuisine and first-rate service. Do a favour to yourself and go here.🫡🫶🏾👏🏾

A good place for breakfast.
Service was accommodating and friendly. The staff managed to serve us during load shedding.
The breakfast was well prepared, even if a bit under seasoned ( preference I guess ).
Would really like to see more meat options ( only pork was available).
The menu could also do with a bit more excitement. The items were fairly standard and I don’t remember any particular item that jumped at me. This isn’t always a bad thing though.
The plunger coffee I ordered was good.
I had a vegetarian breakfast, toasted sourdough bread with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, halloumi topped with rocket as well. It was absolutely delicious. Service is remarkable, thoroughly impressed.
Great food, friendly efficient staff and a varied menu for all palates. My go to coffee shop whether just for coffee or a full meal. Marc runs a fantastic venue

Royal Breakfast
We met up for quick lunch , just mom's and daughters. I loved their simple menu offering, I ordered a tasty chicken fillet salad, that my daughter ended up finishing off! The portions were quite sizeable amounts. The restaurant is situated in a small fairly busy shopping centre, it is partly indoors but moreso outdoors, with a walkaway leaving the centre into the parking lot. Which can be slightly awkward. But the friendly staff and owner /manager make up for it. They also sell good quality scatter cushions and other soft furnishings more for the shabby chic, country styled home . 9/10
Hadn't been here since 2015. But it still has the same great environment. With absolutely great staff, that is welcoming and friendly.
Had a beef sandwich and coffee. Prices are soo affordable and the food is great 😊.
Great place for having meetings or if you want a place to read and enjoy your own company 😉.
