“I always love coming here for meals! A real family place run by Lydia, Johan and their children, and welcoming of every generation too. The food is delicious, creative and generous, with a big breakfast menu to suit everyone and lots of tasty lunch, tea and coffee options too. The cooking is exceptional, and evidently a source of pride. Lots of the food is available as takeaways. They also sell homemade ciabattas in season and other baked goods. It's the perfect neighbourhood spot in Betty's Bay, and also a great stop off for a bite or some takeaways for travellers on Clarence Drive. Friendly, warm and always excellent. Thanks to Lydia and Johan for many great meals and warm company!” Megan, Tripadvisor

“If you are looking for a good cup of coffee, then this is by far the best espresso in Betty's bay, The scone was excellent too.” David, Tripadvisor

“Had to visit after finding out the owners used to own Tides. We had a lovely lunch there. Large portions and good food. A small coffee shop but definitely worth a visit.” Roz, Tripadvisor
