Bayleaf Cafe

I finally grabbed the opportunity to visit Bayleaf Cafè, and wow, I'm glad I did!! From the moment of walking in, we were greeted with a welcoming smile (By the owner I think). I thought we would hear the cars from the busy road, but we seemed to have stepped into a blissful, tranquil haven, away from the hustle and bustle. Loved the decor, old worldy / chabby-chic / eclectic. Anyway...moving on. The staff were absolutely lovely, and the food....WOW!!! divine! Simple but perfect. I Had the French flapjacks, with Camebert cheese, creme fraiche, bacon, preserved figs, and a balsamic reduction. Each bite was heavenly. (And could definitely tell the flapjacks are homemade, fluffy and light). Highly recommend. (And on a side note, it would really be a stunning venue for small gatherings, or an intimate wedding. Hopefully one day I can plan my wedding there)

One of those unique places hidden in George! Don't be deterred by the outside look. Behind the unsophisticated entrance you find a unique experience. Plenty of indoor tables and the outdoor area has even more. Relax in the garden under the shade of the tree's. We had cupachinos with French Flapjacks. Visit them you will enjoy the meals and drinks on offer. Not your ordinary cafe that is for sure.

We had a spontaneous brunch at the Bayleaf Café and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was incredible, slipping into my top brunch spot in George. I can imagine their other meals must be just as delicious and well-presented. The Bayleaf tree in the garden courtyard gives the restaurant a lovely sentimental touch. My Eggs Benedict was one of the best that I have had in years. I will definitely 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.

What an absolute delight. The setting is beautiful (even on a cloudy day), the service is outstanding - warm, friendly and sincere, from the waitress who greeted us at the door to the barista who greeted us on our way out. The food is delicious - One of the few places in the area that serves healthy, thoughtfully crafted vegetarian / vegan friendly options (beyond a toasted cheese and tomato or a margherita pizza ;) Will definitely be back.
