    The place is so beautiful and perfect for hosting events. My best friend had the best time, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. My sole criticism would be the waiting times between orders, but overall a wonderful experience.

    I recently visited this beautifully girly café during Women’s Month, and it couldn’t have been more fitting. Surrounded by some of the strongest female influences in my life, we indulged in a cake and coffee date that felt like a celebration of femininity and friendship. The ambiance was absolutely charming, with the soft pinks, floral touches, and an overall aesthetic that screams “Instagram-worthy.” It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a dreamy little pink escape. While the cakes were slightly underwhelming—especially when compared to the high standards set by a certain well-known “pink” competitor in Gauteng—the lattes more than made up for it. You can choose between a pink or lavender latte, with beautifully colored milk that adds a whimsical touch to your cup. Honestly, the lattes were to die for—smooth, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. It’s a lovely spot for a light catch-up. I’d definitely return, perhaps next time to try the food and see if it lives up to the café’s enchanting vibe.

    The ambience and service were good, I cannot fault them there. I feel they could rework their menu a bit. The menu is primarily focused on breakfast items with very little options for lunch. Was also surprised to learn that the waiters are discouraged from providing meal suggestions.
