The 30 best coffee shops and best cafes in George

We moved to George in 2018. This Mug and Bean is one of our favourite outings! Keep up the great work. Staff are friendly, helpful, and the food is exceptional. Wilma and Henry Paulsen

I have to leave a revue here. I hav been in Melkbos looking after my ill daughter and was so very disappointed in the Mugg & Bean I Table Bay Mall. I wish I had taken a photograph of the toasted chicken Mayo I ordered. My whole experience there was terrible. WELL, I came to George to service my car and have come to The Mugg & Bean in Mall. It has really blown me away, from the front of house to the food. My chicken Mayo is really the best I have had in a very long time. Coffee is hot and just right. Good on you guys, you have restored my faith in my old Mugg & Bean days.

We always buy a chocolate chip muffin. But lately there are maybe 10 choc chips. The muffin was always covered in choc chips but not anymore. This should be sold as a vanilla muffin.

Thanks so much for excellent service (again) from Sotto (Jeronavan). He really goes out of his way to please his customers and we appreciate his outstanding service to us.

Your usual mugg and bean, in a great place in the garden route mall. Food is always pleasant and so are the staff. Nice to sit out side in summer , normal mug and bean menu. Overall worth a drop by if in the mall.

We had such great service at Mugg&Bean, Garden Route Mall. Our server, Sotto, went out of his way to make our visit great!

Don't want to say to much. Check the photos, I could do better myself, this looks so plain and unappetizing. Super dissapointed. Not to mention the bones I found in my burger patty yesterday! Atleast the staff and manager is friendly.

What an absolutely beautiful restaurant! The weather was good so we opted for a table outside in the garden...and what a lush, beautiful garden it is, complete with fountain and the enchanting sound of frogs in the flower beds. The food was exquisite an the service impeccable. If you find yourself in George it is imperative that you visit The Bayleaf Café. It's an absolute treat for the senses.

I would rate this as the best cafe in George. This converted house makes for a beautiful cozy Cafe, with a homey interior and a spectacular garden, giving you plenty of seating choices. The food is just outstanding. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. The coffee is great. The service is just as good as the food. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. I highly reccomend this place to anyone who enjoys good food and a warm family service experience.

Delicious, fresh food! Not only was the food great, but the staff and administrators were also very pleasant. This is definitely a gem in George and offers a peaceful English garden experience when sitting outside, and inside it’s warm and cozy! A must visit!

What a delightful place! We received a warm welcome on our arrival and shown the alternative seating localities. We chose the garden which proved to be extremely pleasant. The tables are nestled among the trees and shrubs in an extremely relaxing and peaceful environment with a dove cooing overhead. The waitrons were friendly and efficient, down to knowing the names of the trees in the garden! Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious and served at just the right temperature. Definitely a place to visit again.

What an AMAZING place! Thank you to Hugo and the team at Bayleaf Café for the most amazing bridal shower. The tables were sooo beautiful and the food was just absolutely delicious and more-some. I was so stressed arranging all of this from Cape Town, but Hugo was so reassuring. 100/10 for your customer service and attentiveness. Everyone had a wonderful time.

We ordered a variety of vegan and non vegan dishes to be shared and they didn't disappoint! Generous portions, GREAT flavour and friendly on top of that. Thoughtful for adding sauces separately. No spillage. Only one thing..the choc brownie was ultra sweet, so beware 😉 one bite was sufficient.

Beautiful and quaint little shop with excellent breakfast options. Potato Rosti was perfectly cooked and packed with flavour. Must visit for anyone in the area!

I arranged my birthday at Nina’s. What a pleasant experience. The service was excellent - thank you Channel. The food was delicious. The cup cakes was beautiful decorated and was delicious.Nina’s decorated the table and it looked stunning - colourful and happy! Thank you for such a memorable birthday! I can really recommend Nina’s and will be back! Thank you Tasha and team!

Wonderful. The pulled beef poached for breakfast is amazing. For the kids its very well prepared both food and play area. Highly recommended. Elroy specifically gave us perfect service.

They honestly have the BEST chicken strips I've ever had The chicken melts in your mouth and the coating is so light and airy, yet has the perfect crunch.

This is a lovely cafe right in the heart of George. It is very busy so plan ahead, especially on weekends or holidays. Staff is lovely and friendly. Thanks Louis and Chenelle! We had the Mediterranean eggs on toast, smashed avacado on toast, ham and cheese with a side of sausage. All was delicious with good portions. Very family friendly place with a play ground in the back. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have gardens in the back growing fresh produce they use in their dishes. Great place!

Lovely, Thank you Ninas. The food and service is always wonderful!

This was such a warm environment and the food was amazing too! Their peri peri chicken livers (with fresh bread) were to die for, I can see why my family were regulars here.

I was just passing by at midday and decided to pop in for a lunch. Even though it does not look like much from outside it is very pleasant inside. The covered outside area and the garden give it a good space to relax. The food was good just the service was bit slow.

I have to agree with so many other positive reviews - this café is very special. Travellers will be delighted to discover this venue, situated adjacent to a travel agency. The interior dining area is comfortably furnished with an eclectic selection of chairs and tables. Freshly baked cakes are on display, as well as preserves and a series of travel books to browse through. The courtyard is a total surprise! Flowering potted plants and running water add to the peaceful ambiance. One could sit here for hours and indulge in the freshly prepared food and coffee (!), the menu offers something for meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans and people with gluten issues. The waitrons were professional and managed to keep the pace despite all the tables being occupied during lunch hour. Highly recommended!

The best kept secret in George. Wonderfull tea garden at the back. Great for breakfasts and lunches or just to have a coffee. A favourite with the locals since it is so well hidden. Be sure to check out the tea garden at the back of the restaurant. Always a pleasure to eat here or just have a coffee.

Lovely spot Good food Delicious cake Overall good value for money

Best chicken salad and pear salad and lovely staff- always friendly! One of my favourite spots!!!! Such a vibe!

This is a great coffee shop. A real buzzy vibe, lots of customers coming and going, a chatty atmosphere and interesting and appetizing menu. The staff are friendly and service is pretty good. We enjoyed the piping hot coffee on a cold and wet day. Just what the dr ordered to warm the chilled body. This little gem is always busy, with support from the regular locals from George and surrounding areas. The carrot cake is most delicious and fresh with the yummiest cream cheese icing.

I was só relieved to happen upon this cozy little eatery, since I could find no place else where my lap dogs would be welcomed in George. Enroute to Pretoria, I had no choice but to bring my furries along. Travel Bugs assigned a specific cozy corner in their garden for patrons with a furry friend, where my dogs could roam amid shrubs and ferns. Service was attentive, friendly and prompt and our food was delicious. The bacon, cheese and mushroom beef burgers with rustic fries were well prepared and sumptuous. The breakfast was flavoursome and satiating, and the portions were generous. Refreshing home made Apple Ice Tea, a good coffee brew and a gourmet Salted Caramel shake were all enjoyable. Moderately priced set amid calming surrounds set the right tone to continue along our travels. Highly recommended for value for money and a pleasant dining experience for the whole family.

My favourite coffee shop. They have the BEST staff, always pleasant and very efficient. Great food , diverse and interesting menu

A lovely stop to have a quick bite to eat. The service is fantastic. The ingredients they use are lovely and fresh and the coffee is great. The cafe itself has a very inviting vibe.

Nice coffee ☕ place The coffee was nice and strong It could have been a bit warmer, our second cup was better though. The staff are friendly and pleasant. The food was decent and tasty. Would be back again. On the way out we brought coffee beans 😎

Discovered this gem in George. My kind of amazing wholesome healthy food And great coffee. I make an effort to stop and savour every time we travel through

My wife and I had an absolutely delightful experience at Krust Cafe. We savored a delicious cappuccino that was simply divine, and the food we ordered, Eggs Benedict and a "potjie" with curry, was incredibly tasty. The service we received was top-notch, and the atmosphere of the cafe was truly remarkable. We were so impressed that we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

What an awesome place. Waiter understood I wanted my stuff separate....and it was perfect. HUGE waffle! Wow.....so delishious Good menu with options for every taste. Staff professional, friendly and accommodating

The staff at Krust always treats us like royalty. They know my order so well, coke zero, extra ice, and a rustic chicken mayo! Thank you Krust

Cute, vibey place in the corner of this huge mall. Definitely worth checking out the aesthetic too They serve tall cappuccinos! I'd give 5 stars just for that. For breakfast, I got a mushroom croissant with scrambled egg option. It was delish!

Nice atmosphere. Food was good but they didn't get my order quite right. Coffee was slightly bitter, but still quite good.

A small, coffee shop that functions inside Patio Warehouse with affordable prices. You can place your order and visit the warehouse if you need to buy anything as well. They don't have a lengthy menu but it's a great place for a quick breakfast. I like the food and I had a nice time there. This place is kids friendly and parking is available in Patio Warehouse car park.

Definitely a quiet place, out of season, for introverts and the like. Delicious coffee, great food and a stunning view.

This coffee roastery and shop is conveniently located in the centre of the city. It is stylishly decorated and the waiting staff are friendly if sometimes a bit disconnected with the customers. Nevertheless, it lost a bunch of points with the coffee. I had a large latte and to be honest I could not even taste the coffee. I get that a latte is mostly milk but I could honestly not taste even a hint of coffee. On my second visit I had a cappuccino and it was much better than the latte. The waiting staff was also much friendlier. However, the cherry on the cake was the delicious tartlets that they sell for R14 a piece.

The coffee experience was amazing! We tried the cakes and sandwiches as well. All fresh and tasty! Amongst the best in coffee! Visited April 2016

One of the best coffee shops in town.

This coffee shop is one of the best coffee places in George. They have the best roasted coffee. All of the cakes are absolutely out of this world! Go for the cheesecake!

Decided to take my mom out for a nice day to show my appreciation, and we’ve both been wanting to go to The Pottery. The service was not the best, at first we struggled to get someone to assist us. Later on, our waitress walked past us on multiple occasions while our drinks were empty, but that happens- no problem. They had a big selection of drinks and food, so we didn’t mind waiting a bit. Fast forward to the food My food arrives and it’s not the complete order, I received a portion of my meal and by the time she came back so that I can ask if she perhaps forgot about the rest, my food was already cold. She brings the rest of my order, I start eating, only to find out the chicken strips in my bowl are completely raw on the inside. She takes it back and they give me the same bowl of food that was touched by raw chicken, with some cooked chicken added. The place has a good atmosphere, regardless of our experience. We enjoyed our drinks and the people are kind. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend the food.

The Pottery in George is such a hidden gem! The moment we walked in, we were blown away by the atmosphere and décor, it’s absolutely next level, with such a creative and welcoming feel. Even though we didn’t have food this time, the service was incredibly quick, friendly, and attentive, which really made the experience stand out. It’s one of those places where you can just relax, enjoy the surroundings, and soak in the charm. We’ll definitely be going back soon, and next time we’ll be sure to try the food too! Highly recommended for anyone visiting George who loves great service and stunning interiors.

A relaxing and spacious atmosphere with a wonderful play area for the children. Unfortunately at least 2 of our items were brought and had to be taken back because the order was wrong. The shakshuka was enjoyed by all, but my friend wished there could be more bread. The potter's breakfast was spur-level fine but I left feeling hungry which was disappointing for the price.

Had a great lunch while I was visiting a friend in George, such a beautiful place and my 18 month old had an absolute ball! Will definitely be back when we visit again!

I haven't been to such a nice and unique place of interest in years. You can enjoy the restaurant here, which is beautiful and upbeat, or you can eat while painting ur chosen pottery piece! For such a well-kept and unique place, I love how genuinely affordable it feels. I a small town typa area, it's definitely worth visiting and I even want to become a regular 🤣 Everyone was extremely inviting, easy to talk to, and friendly, especially our waiter. The food was great, and drinks were GREAT. Please try the white chocolate hot chocolate if ur a sweet tooth 😇💫 This place is also a dream for artists or creative people who don't usually find the time in their daily lives to do something artsy or creative.

Lovely family friendly setting. Love the fact you can watch your kids play whilst enjoying the garden setting. Food and service was incredible, I tried the lamb naked Pizza and signature virgin cocktail. Will be back when I visit George

after my previous, highly impressive visit to The Pottery, I had no choice but to return - the chicken tacos were calling my name, and who was I to deny their summons? However, this tale is not merely one of tacos, but of Jarrett, the hero who bore them to our table. This was no ordinary man, but a patron saint of hospitality, a creature of naught but patience and mirth. He fought off the cold and miserable weather of that morning with his offerings of easy laughter and warm company. Raise a glass, fellow folk, to the man (JARRETT) who turned a meal into a memory. Long may he reign, and long may the tacos flow.

We expected a small restaurant /coffee shop, excited to have breakfast, but the only menu was writen above the counter, no breakfast, but snackish items. Also a bit on the pricey side....

Absolutely stunning! I couldn't believe how great everything tasted. Days later and I'm srill think about it. I never leave reviews but wow this place deserves the best review!!!! Amazing kind service and food that is truly to die for!

The place is so atmospheric and lovely , especially for morning breakfasts. We've already been here 3 times this week and I highly recommend!

I really enjoyed sitting here - super cozy atmosphere. The coffee and the pastries are also great! The staff just wasn’t friendly.

Small savoury and sweet eats, well presented, clean with friendly service. Extensive cake menu. Variety of table and chair designs also serves as examples of furniture that can be ordered from the husband of the chef. Recommended.

Good food..service and atmosphere.....fresh baked food...staff make you feel very special..

This place is a hidden gem. Drive past the mall and franchise coffee shops and come and enjoy a Unique experience. You will not be disappointed.

Best service, best coffee.!!! Guess it goes hand in hand. :) Thank you Roots team for your friendly morning smiles and roasted java. My purchase to take home is certainly not the same when freshly brewed and bought in store. (No smiles here. Lol!) Much appreciated! Keep it up!

My favourite coffee shop in George. It is everything a coffee shop should be - it is small and cosy, the baristas are fun and quirky, and the coffee is absolutely fantastic. The Amsterdamer and the almond shortbread is an absolute must. It is conveniently close to Knysna Way, so it is really nice for quick coffee takeaways.

Best coffee in George is at Root. They sell fresh coffee beans too. Wonderfully friendly staff who all know their "craft" very well!

Asanda, Kurt and Nelson are the BEST thing about this place. In second place comes the incredible coffee 🩷. Always a friendly greeting and service and great coffee. 10/10 in my book!!!!

I don't have enough words to describe how much I love Root Coffee. The most wonderful people, amazing service and fragrant coffee. And the fact they are also always trying to promote local products and they encourage environmental sustainability are just cherries on the cake.... or rather, creamy foam on the cappuccino ;)

Great coffee and friendly staff!

We had a cupachino. It was so good, I almost had another one! Their carrot cake is delicious and worth the try. I would prefer them to any of the normal franchise coffee shops. Parking is not a problem and you can even meet businesses partners here. Their service is excellent and comes with at smile.

The burger was great with onion rings and extra chips. Omg!! Cappuccino is good, but the cup is small for the price. The young gentleman, our waiter, was friendly and polite, even though we came in before closing time. Absolutely great food, vibe, and artisan bread. Thank you 😊

The food is delicious, service friendly and coffee good... will recommend when you are in George. Best artisan bread in George!!!

We really enjoyed the food here. Absolutely fantastic and the vibe is great !

Delicious baked goods. Excellent quality and variety of products. Plastic - free ethic. Brilliant,friendly service. Practically situated in shopping centre, so easily accessable.

Every time I eat at Foodco I feel so happy. Everything tastes amazing and is made with love and care.

Friendly staff, good food and fair prices. The French Fries are up there with the best I've ever had.

First, a gripe. This place is too small!!! It is too small because yóú need to invite everyone you know to this place. The breakfast is literally the best thing and I think it is because of their in-house, freshly baked, sliced bread. Stunning experience!

Awesome, spacious coffee shop very near to George airport. Great coffee, extremely friendly personnel, and service. The bread pepper pie was burning like crazy and cold. The egg and bacon bread pie was sold out at 8hoo. If it sells so fast ,why not make more.? This open-air coffee shop is not dog friendly inside. Beautiful clean toilets. Great merchandise.

10/10 would recommend!! The food is local but with a unique twist. I ordered a bobotie pie, it was so good I went for seconds and had a pepper steak pie, the pie had a gracious amount of meat and sauce, it definitely wasn't one of those airpies that you get at the local garage. I tipped the waitress the whole staff chimed in: "Thank you, Dankie, Merci Beaucoup."

Such great atmosphere! The staff are lovely , they all cheered and all when you put a tip in the jar. The coffee great and some lovely local items!

Great place.. great biltong and lekker koffie. Its a must visit. They cool merchandise inside the shop. We visited the location in hartenbos on the beach front aswell more then 5 times for a knypkoek and koffie. Staff are friendly. Vary happy we visited thier locations.

What a wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Quick service. Tasty coffee Will definitely go again

A unique 'padstalletjie'! A excellent variety of goodies and food on sale, and reasonably priced. The service was excellent, as wete the food and drinks.

Connected with a very old friend of mine here. What a pleasant experience!!

Enjoy genuine Indian cuisne here. Dishes are tasty and flavourful. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Off road parking. Also has a shop that sells all sorts of Indian and Asian spices. Great selection. Can buy in bulk as well. Definately worth a visit. Also offers take-aways.

Authentic Indian restaurant. Best lamb curry in George. It was very tasty and great service. They also have a spice shop with a vast variety of spices. Definitely recommend it 👌

🌟 5-Star Review for Chai & Spice, George 🌟 What an absolutely unforgettable evening at Chai & Spice! From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for our Entrepreneurs Dinner Get-Together. The ambience was rich with culture, comfort, and charm — a beautiful blend that made everyone feel at home. And the food… simply spectacular! Every dish was a masterpiece — full of authentic Indian flavours, vibrant spices, and made with so much care and passion. From the fragrant curries to the perfectly baked naan, each bite reminded us why Chai & Spice truly stands out as the best Indian cuisine in George. A huge thank you to the incredible team for their outstanding service and hospitality. You didn’t just serve a meal — you created an experience that brought people together, inspired great conversations, and left us all with full hearts and happy smiles. ✨ Chai & Spice, you’ve set the bar high! We’ll definitely be back for many more memorable evenings.

The food was tasty but the portions very small and expensive. The menu had 1,5l sparkling water on, they only had 1l available but charged us the 1,5l menu price. The inside shop was very nice.

Delicious foods and a vast display of raw spices for sape. Had lamb curry and sugar cane juice. Very healthy juice and taste good. Staff brilliant and well kept. Atmosphere is fantastic. Woupd highly recommend

Absolutely amazing experience at Chai & Spice in George! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere, authentic Indian flavours, and attention to detail make it a true gem in George. 🇮🇳

Absolutely loved this place ! Had their crayfish tails curry and it was amazing! Definitely recommend this restaurant. Smoking section outside and comfortable dining on the inside with a warm environment thanks to a very toasty fireplace ! They were very accommodating aswell for our little one

This place is very nice and the food and drinks are delicious 😋💯 i also like the christian books they have a lot and just reading there in my free time 💕📚

Leandre is such a kind barista, he makes delicious Milkshakes, Coffees, Hot chocolates…, I really enjoy the food here and the atmosphere is so joyful and peaceful. It’s a good place to work on your laptop and get Food and a Drink :)

Wonderful find on our last day of this holiday. See you bext time

Comfortable and cozy coffee shop. Homemade cakes, bags, dress and cute items. Very good dairy product. They made it their own. Yogurt, milk and cheese. The cafe is very welcoming and lovely.

The atmosphere is very nice and coffee is great quality.

Lovely coffee and food at very affordable prices. Friendly staff and good service.

I love this place in the center of the city. The service is super friendly and it's perfect for a lunch break or just to spend time with friends.

Found this gem today, what a treat! The Coffee Bean has been serving the people of George for over 30 years. Kind people and friendly customer service, fresh food and the chippies were so delicious. Still had some potato skin, just the way I like it. Cannot wait to return. Ample seating both inside and outside. Great parking. Great option for a healthier takeaway option. Decaff available. Lovely atmosphere, highly recommend.

Lovely atmosphere...thank you for serving the lovely green honeybush tea🍵

A pleasant little coffee shop. Very reasonably priced. Friendly service. Great place for breakfast and lunch.

5 star service for Janet and Louis and their son. Best Americanos in town. Friendly service and food is good.

Very nice owners both afrikaans, great service very quick on orders and priceed very low for what you get would recommend this place was just amazing. The owner even brought us separate plates for our food as we made it clear we were sharing and just the presentation pf the food and drinks were top tier would highly recommend for a quick bite or even a full meal or just a relaxed cup of coffee

Best coffee in town! Very friendly and good food.

Always good experience. Best pancake

This restaurant was truly so wholesome! I believe one of the owners helped us with our order, she was amazingly kind and made us feel so welcome. The decor of the restaurant is also unique, very interesting to explore and reminded me of 'home' in the Middle East. 🙈 The variety of food they have is probably one of the most impressive things to me, there is such a diverse choice of dishes that (I believe) speak for different cultures, dishes I find hard to get in the Garden route. Thanks so much for our experience here!

Some of the best breakfasts that you can eat. Just love this place. When I am in George I always visit.

Lovely family run businesses, Barry and Maria both own and work in the restaurant. Fun Camel theme, really enjoy chicken Schnitzel crab stick and salad. Overall yummy food at a reasonable price, perfect location in town center.

Excellent food. Excellent Platters on order. Homely Atmosphere. Ample parking. Wheel Chair friendly. Excellent parking

What a lovely quaint coffee shop. Breakfast (French Toast with bacon & syrup) is so delicious. They serve it all day too. The owners are super friendly. I will definitely be back.

I absolutely adore this shop! The decor can only be described as Dubai-kitsch meets South African platteland. The owners are really nice and they seem to have a good base of regular customers who frequent the cafe. The food (I had the toast with mince and an egg) was deliciously hearty. The coffee (Peacock brand) was less inspiring. Nevertheless, this is a lovely coffee shop - a quirky little oasis in a desert of generic coffee shops.

Great place, good prices and was helped directly by the owner who runs the restaurant. This means we got decent farm style whole tasting food, unlike your regular franchised restaurants, and good service to go with it.. what more could you ask for.

Such a gem Even the filter coffee is great,, Love the staff Love everything Value for my hard earned bucks Barbra

What a lovely shop, owner is super, service quick, presentation fabulous

Owner is hands-on and delivers. Coffee, light meals and confectionery. Be sure to visit them on Fridays for a delicious cinnamon bun, the best in town. Have it with a cupachino topped with cream. Their range of Quiches is worth trying as well as the milktarts.

Excellent service and food was great!

Honest to goodness great meal and staff. I enjoyed every second of our visit last Friday. We unfortunately missed out the the cinnamon buns which i am told are very popular. Oh well. Next time, maybe?

The food is very good. The service is outstanding and the staff professional. I return on a regular basis to enjoy quality tasty meals. Omelets are of the best. I wish then well in their objective to have satisfied customers return on a regular basis. Good luck Coffee Time! John P. Crook

What a awesome little coffee shop. Clean, neat and awesome food. Food priced to fit your pocket. Service exelant food awesome, also do a lot of baking like muffins, pies, al fresh daily Can I recommend this place? Definately yes.

Hands down one of the best places to hang out in George. Great atmosphere and good music. I had the fried chicken and waffle. It was delicious. Danica and Brandon did a great job and made sure we felt welcomed. Will definitely be back!

Really wonderful place. Excellent for kids with jungle gym, mini soccer pitch, swimming pool and outdoor games and zip line. Very nice pizza and good coffee (and I’m a coffee snob :) )

This café is a hidden gem for families! It’s super family-friendly, offering a variety of outdoor games to keep the kids entertained. The kiddies’ menu is fantastic, and there’s a great selection for adults too. The swimming pool is an added bonus, perfect for a refreshing dip. The little shops on site are charming, and the owners are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend for a fun and relaxing outing with the whole family!

Lovely spot, kid friendly. Jungle gym, little soccer pitch, lawn games and if you pay a bit extra a swimming pool for kids under 12. Very reasonable thrift shops for clothes, as well as surfboards, jewelry and other odds and ends.

From having my sisters 50th Birthday party at New Wave to my kids enjoy a full day there, we absolutely LOVE New Wave! Martyn is the perfect owner, fantastic views, lovely food and wonderful activities to keep kids busy while parents can work remotely. One of our favorite places to spend the day!

Thank you for helping us have fun at our 8 yr old birthday party! They made pizza, yummiest pizza for kids and adults and they had a blast playing and “foefie-sliding”!

My wife and daughter came here every day for a week last year. I was finally able to come to South Africa for the first time and immediately fell in love with this place. Great food, amazing coffee, and the nicest and best people that you’ve ever met. I plan to visit every year when I’m here. I’ve been to coffee places around the world and this is one of my favorites.

One of my favourite places in George to relax in a quiet environment with a feel of a by-gone era! The carrot cake is AMAZING! It is a bit pricey at R50 a slice but always delicious and moist. The staff are friendly and they do an excellent Flat White. The Bridgehouse Burger also comes highly recommended.

Nice food nice place But no disabled parking and the entrance is hard to move on the stones not suitable for disabled people 😑

Great place to stop at have have a recharge. Great Coffee and Snacks

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Good range of gluten free and vegan options

I had a delicious cappuccino and red velvet cheese cake at Bridge House Coffee Shop - great friendly service, lovely setting in a renovated old house, prettiest floral nursery - everything you need to lift the spirit!

A lovely and unique antique shop that is constantly changing and offering new items. I love the atmosphere of the coffee shop and always sit at the table in the cozy & hidden alcove facing the nursery or on the verandah. 🌼

What a funky cool dog-friendly coffee shop!! Breakfast was delicious, coffee was great and my Border Collie was very welcome too!! Would definitely recommend and would certainly return! :)

We used Rocket for my daughter’s 16th birthday party, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the beautifully set-up venue to the absolutely exceptional pastry platters, every detail was handled with such care and flair. The food was not only delicious but presented so beautifully – a real feast for the eyes and the taste buds! Nothing was too much trouble for the Rocket team — they were warm, professional, and incredibly accommodating throughout. Thanks to them, we had a fantastic celebration filled with joy, laughter, and the kind of memories we’ll cherish forever. Highly, highly recommended!

Rocket Coffee is a gem of a spot! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly lifts your mood. The space itself is beautifully designed — modern yet cozy, with just the right balance of style and comfort. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a great recommendation. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a relaxed chat, they make you feel right at home. As for the beverages — absolutely delicious. Each drink is crafted with care, full of flavor, and consistently top-notch. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just love a good cup, Rocket Coffee delivers every time. Immaculate vibes, great people, and fantastic drinks — this place has it all. Highly recommend!

Another great and very entertaining quiz night. Our pizzas were perfect and as usual great service. We didn’t win but we did enjoy ourselves.

Rocket Coffee is a hidden gem nearby with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Their expert baristas serve delicious, perfectly crafted coffee. The service is excellent, and they have tasty snacks to go with your coffee. Don't miss their clever "refueling card" initiative, appreciated by many customers. A must-visit for exceptional coffee in the area! Will surely review you on Insta as well

Lovely place and experience,the place look gorgeous, and staff The black hot coffee and Mediterranean sandwich were very Tasty we like it a lot. Also we tried Black tea which was wonderful. Highly recommend

Rocket is a hidden gem just around the corner from us. The baristas are true coffee experts and serve up rich, delicious coffee that is always made to perfection. The service is top-notch and the staff are friendly and welcoming. To top it off, they have a great selection of snacks and light bites that pair perfectly with your coffee. If you're in the area, We highly recommend stopping by Rocket for a truly exceptional coffee experience.

Food is simple, but good. And thats about it. Service is real slow (or non existent). We ordered food, but had to cancel because it would’ve taken forever. Coffees have gone down the drain. In the current day and age of speciality coffee, why would you still make coffee using milk out of a carton? Old school thinking.

Just had the Beef and barley soup, prepared by Bongani. Best I ever experienced!! The texture, the presentation and OH Boy - that sweet curry taste!! Well done Bongani 👏 ✔️ Will definitely return for that again. E

Very nice concept. You can order from any eatery on the premises and eat you food at any bar. And the other way around. The bar is self service when you order. Big range of local and international high end spirits available, as well as a decent selection of draught beers. A small grass patch available for a kids play area, but if you didnt bring a ball or any thing there is not much for the kids to do. Bathrooms is clean and neat.

First visit here...and will definitely be going again. Coffee was great and the "ham & cheese" sandwich, which is actually a very delicious pulled pork and cheese sandwich was surely worth every bite!!

Really beautiful outdoor area sitting with picturesque views! Well-priced food, with good portions and delicious. Would recommend.

Beautiful outside courtyard, perfect for a breakfast or lunch with the family! The menu is really well priced and the food is amazing! Highly recommended!

Thank you for asking. 1 Food. Neither one of us could eat the french fries. They were light brown and looked like old, re-heated potatoes..the sandwich was average. 2. Service can be improved if the service provider was more attentative. It was rather a battle to get attention. 3. The table setting is not really adding to a welcoming atmosphere. A very "cold" set-up. Improve the arrangement of the tables and make it more inviting.

Game changer, must be one of the cheapest places to eat with there specials. Café Latte and Red Latte is good and French Toast ah nice. Friendly and excellent service.

BEST PLACE to chill out at in George. Upper class, Amazing food and coffee, great pricing, top quality friendly staff, lovely warm atmosphere - 5 Stars for an amazing place guys!! Love it. NUGENT and TAYLOR are the best - please make sure they get the excellent feedback! Keep up the great work guys. I recommend this place to EVERYONE I meet :) and it is 100% because of the amazing two staff members working there.

Lovely hidden Gem

What a lovely experience, plenty of parking and amazing prices. They serve Brothers Coffee, an excellent quality local brew.

Nice quiet little place with great food and staff.Also the decor is very nice,and the shop is nice an clean.The prices of the food and drinks are really good.

Awsome service! Nugent the barista is a real entertainer. The coffee is great and the food prices are affordable.

Food - price - service - venue 💯💯

A nice personal little cafe that only the locals know of. Nice food and friendly service. Worth a visit if you want get away from the maddening crowd. Rhere is ample off road parking at the back of the building. Just drive down the side of the cafe. Well worth a visit!

We had a great coffee and croissant here whilst we waited for our tyre to be fixed at Hi Q.

The French toast with bacon and orange syrup is a must try. The best I have ever tasted! Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful interior/exterior, soft music.1000% recommended.

Cosiest restaurant ever with the best French Toast.

Very cozy! Everything is home-made and amazing! Get on over and even learn some French while enjoying your tasty food. Such a shame it's often overlooked...

Simply the best French toast ever!👌 Service, as well as ambience, cannot be beaten.

Fabulous French Toast

The staff are amazing. They remember their customers. The management have that typical George mentality but once one overlooks the prejudice which is so prevalent in this part of the country, you focus on the kind nature of the staff, the good coffee and the lovely fireplace on a cold winter morning.

Lovely coffee shop vibe. Just what I was looking for. However everything closes by 1pm. No time to explore further

I love Poco Loco. The food and coffee are so good. Best coffee in town. The atmosphere in house is wonderful. Sometimes a bit noisy but most of the time it isn't an issue. Pastilles and Quiches are to die for. The staff is always efficient and friendly. Don't miss going there.

I had the moistest most amazing carrot cake and the coffee was just as nice. Nice modern coffee shop. Will be stopping regularly for that carrot cake

Visit Poco Loco for the first time and it was terrible. The manager was extremely condescending. I sat down waited to be served. She did not have the decency to come to our table to properly explain the ordering procedure (she was busy cleaning another table just saying that we need to order at the counter). TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. As for the other workers I do not know. Place look pretty decent. Even after conversing with her she still came across as condescending and had a prejudice mindset towards us. Sies man terrible.

Went there on Wednesday for my birthday, because I remembered they serve their coffee in a super cute pottery cup and I prefer drinking 2 small coffees rather than one large one. When we got there, I was told that they don’t use those cups anymore. (Only for cortados) I was very disappointed. The friendly brunette at the counter (forgot to get her name) then said they can accommodate me but since the cup is too small for a cappuccino, I’d have to drink 2- which is PERFECT for me! LOVE when people use initiative and do a little extra to try and make it special for a customer. It literally made my day! Thank you! 🙌🏼☕️

What a stunning friendly establishment. We were at the Civic center and need some refreshments. Directed to poco.loco nit at all disappointed. Well done.

We went and had the melkkos. What an amazing place. I love the Christian name. I love the decorations. I love the personnel and the owners are so kind and professional. I love thè fact that they host a popup church every second Sunday. May God our Father our Jahwe Jirre provide for you and make this a great sucess story. Blessings, Lize

Truely a gem in the heart of Great Brak River! Very good value for money, the food was delicious and the staff very friendly. Worth a visit by locals and holidaymakers.

We had a delightful visit today for Sunday lunch. Short drive out of Groot Brak. Served a substantial meal, excellent quality & tasty mains and desert all at an extremely reasonable price. The owners & team all share genuine warmth, friendliness and smiles. Something so lacking in todays world. A real gem, well worth a visit & sure to end up in your contacts & Facebook likes for future returns.

The atmosphere could be improved, but it was clean and the service good. We receive our ordered food after a very short wait. The food was good but not outstanding.

Absolute gem. Friendly staff, great surrounding and yummy food. Well worth a visit.

Great coffee, great food, great service!

The best food and service at a very reasonable price !!!!! For sure the place to visit. Hosts very helpful and friendly !!!!

Lovely cosy setting with a fireplace. Tastefully decorated - I love how they upcycled their coffeebean bags! They roast their coffee on location, which is fantastic. I did not enjoy my flat white particularly - it lacked flavour - maybe it was just a bad brew. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved the yummy amsterdamer and Apple crumble muffin.

Best coffee in town, and the people are super. 👌

A must if you're in George. Absolutely great coffee that is roasted right there in the shop. They specialize in African beans and they make their own blends. The place has a relaxed vibe and feels open with spaces to sit and work.

Root café at Wellington Square is our favourite coffee shop. We've been visiting them for the past 3 years, and they never disappoint. Their regular size cappuccino is the BEST, and their cakes and sandwiches are amazing!

My favorite coffee shop in George. The staff is allways friendly and the service is great. I LOVE their cheescake. This is the perfect spot to meet a friend for great coffee. I also buy my freshly roated beans here :D

Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere cool staff! Plus they roast their own beans - loads of varieties availble

Two words: “Blend #1”! Taking a few grams back to London :) A local establishment for coffee and conversation. The cheapest yet best coffee in the area. The beans are roasted onsite which adds to the aroma...

Very disappointed! I ordered a Ham, Cheese and Mustard sandwich and there is no cheese, the bread is old and the ham is dried out. Was hoping my Chai Latte would be better but it tasted funny. I'm sorry to say but this was money down the drain.

Our favorite coffee shop we come back all the time! We really like the atmosphere, good coffee, good service and nice interior. The drinks and foods were all tasty. If you’re looking for a fresh place with beautiful architecture then the Bootlegger is a must to visit.

Bootlegger 📍knows how to deliver a top-notch cappuccino. From a warm welcome at the door to excellent service throughout, our experience was delightful. The food impressed us with both its quality and portion size, perfectly priced. Undoubtedly, the best coffee experience I've had in George. Treat yourself to Bootlegger – you'll be back for more, just like we were.

If you're looking for a spot that serves **amazing coffee** and **delicious food**, Bootlegger Coffee Company is the place to be! Their coffee is rich, smooth, and exactly what you need to kickstart your day. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in for a leisurely meal, the quality is consistently top-notch.

Not a 5/5 yet. Still has some ironing out to do. Drinks were spot on. Bike rack available in the front. Wifi and plug points available. Service was a bit slow and had to shout quite loud to be heard. Loudness might be an issue when full house. Very modern look. Drive though coffee and food is a very nifty facility. Definitely a one up on a mcds muffin and coffee. Still not completly finished construction upstairs. Will have to attend in the future to give a final verdict.

This place really knows what a quality cappuccino should taste like. We were met with a friendly face welcoming us at the door with excellent service throughout our experience. We were also impressed with the quality of food we received and it was the perfect quantity at the right price. Must say, it was the best sweet potato fries that I have had in George. Treat yourself to a Bootlegger experience, you will come back for more as we did.

It was one of the only places open early enough for us to eat before my husband had to be at work. This is a big plus point in our books. We had a lovely breakfast and good coffee.They have baby chairs and they gave my toddler a colouring page and crayons. Very kid friendly. Overall great experience.

Really need to step up their service, walked in by 7:45AM and waited by the Takeaway, women then ask if we going to sit inside, we said yes, we took menus, waited over 10 minutes and no one came to took our order, so should we just wait forever? And this is not the first time, just thought we will try them again, if you want to point people to sit down get waiters! We can’t wait all day for someone at the front to eventually come take our order, last time we were there the food also took forever to be served.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Jack's Bagels in George, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. As it was their first week of opening the franchise, we were impressed by how well everything was organized. One of the highlights for me was the wide variety of toppings they offered, ranging from savory to sweet. It was a delight to have so many options to choose from. The texture and taste of the bagel itself were outstanding. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and the generous portions left me feeling fully satisfied. Not only did Jack's Bagels excel in their food offerings, but their coffee was also exceptional. It complemented the bagels perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed every sip. I opted for the "all vegan bagel," and I was impressed by the fresh ingredients used. It's wonderful to see a place that caters to different dietary preferences without compromising on taste. Hubby chose the "all simple bagel" and loved the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. The decor at Jack's Bagels was pleasing to the eye, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The service we received was great. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. In terms of pricing, Jack's Bagels offered great value for the quality and quantity of food provided. It's definitely a place where you can indulge in a delicious meal without breaking the bank. All in all, our first visit to Jack's Bagels was a memorable one, and we can't wait to go back again. We highly recommend this place to anyone in search of a fantastic bagel experience paired with excellent service. It's a winner!👌

The breakfast Bagel is yummy, good service, and worth the stop, busy and very popular.

Quick bite at a new coffee place we found while working. Coffee was good, and the service was great. Would have hoped the bagel to have been toasted.

The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and fresh. Definitely going back.

We have now been to this warm and cozy eatery, with a closed combustion fireplace, several times and the service, food, decor and atmosphere is top quality and consistent. Amanda, the smiling face who receives, seats and serves you, by now, knew exactly how we drink our coffees and culinary preferences. The ever smiling barista also brews the restaurant's own coffee brand to perfection. The food is served in good time. Attention to flavours and details are thoughtfully considered and set out on the menu in such a way that you can choose either fish, chicken, beef, bacon, vegetarian or even low carb - paired with either spicy, tart, creamy or savory flavours. There are breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert options - all fresh and flavorful. With beautifully presented dishes and at very affordable prices this eatery will become a regular spot for good food and fellowship, especially on the cold winters days.

Wow what amazing place. Very busy, but cosy. Café Latte and bagels go down well. Prices is very fair.
