Cafe Charles

We went here every day we were in Capetown for breakfast, not because there aren't other good restaurants in the area but because we loved the servers and the atmosphere. Stan greeted us every morning and was great to talk to very friendly and informative. Likie(sp) was a wonderful waiter. The food was amazing, possibly the best mushrooms and tomatoes I've ever had with the classic eggs and bacon. The croissants were great and I loved the spiced chai latte. I loved the outdoor seating and the indoor seating weather dependant. It was really just wonderful.

The service is excellent. The staff are friendly, helpful and on the ball. The food is delicious and the portions are a good size. Their Mimosas are the perfect ratio of bubbles are OJ. 😁 the venue it quaint, with a fire place for cold days and a beautiful roof top sun deck for sunny days. I love Charles, it’s definitely my favourite breakfast spot.

Every member of staff was warm and welcoming. We ended up on a beautiful rooftop overlooking De Waterkant and basking in morning sun. Their breakfast risotto was one of the most surprisingly delicious breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. Excellent coffee to boot. A really excellent place to spend a morning, although they offer lunch and dinner which we will be back for.

The Charles has a superlative wine list, wonderful and knowledgeable staff and enjoyable food which can be a bit rich at times, while always tasty. Their beans come from Hout Bay coffee which means their coffee is out of this world. I have enjoyed breakfast benedicts and yummy burgers as well as dessert with excellent wine and return regularly.
