We had a very nice brunch at Lolaâs, sitting outside on their sidewalk. Itâs a small cafe, with a nice brunch memo and good service. Not too expensive. They had an expired liquor license when we were there, so keep that in mind. Hopefully that gets fixed. The restaurant is also in a fun, bar and tattoo parlor scene, which seems to have live music at night (although we were not there for that). Would go again.

Had lunch herr twice with 4-year old son. Ambience is nice, friendly homely atmosphere. Service quick and good first time, second they giot a few things wrong but quickly forgiven. We had calamari with salad first time and although calamari not best ever they where good, and salad really nice, with feta cheese and some other things to make it more interesting. Second time husband and i had burgers, chicken and beef, and they where nice with good flavours and combinations. Little one had chicken strips- no kiddie menu but they do half portions if you ask. All in all two very good lunches!Hi Jessica,Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we really appreciate the generous rating as well as the constructive feedback on how and where we need to improve.My team & I will endeavour to tweak where we need to and hope to wow you on your return visits.Kind regardsDylan

I had lunch here with my cousin the other day. I had not visited the place for over a year. I am pleased to report that:-the staff is still very friendly and the service still good- the food is still good and reasonably priced- it is still very popular.

This is a delightful tea and coffee shop specializing in teas from around the world. They also sell everything necessary to make a good cuppa, including samovars, Chinese teapots, and upmarket accoutrements.It is spacious and they encourage sharing because most of the tables are big communal ones, although there are a few two seaters and some high chairs in the window. They have several newspapers to browse and free WIFI (you need a password). It is popular with students with laptops and folks who aren't in a hurry. They encourage you to linger.This is a good thing as it takes a long time to get your food. Even at 2 PM after the main lunch crush, it took nearly 25 minutes to get a main. They ran out of the veggie curry so i had the kimchi dim sum. Very little kimchi but lots of dough, so it wasn't great. (My neighbor's veggie burger was similar stodgy). But the tea the waitress recommended with my main was a heavenly jasmine. In fact, they pair teas to all their food items and have a serious tea menu with teas from all over the world to discover.I would have liked to have had a dessert but they only had cookies and three varieties of cheese cake. Great if you like cheese cake but if you don't too bad. That's all there always is for dessert.A great place to meet a friend for a quiet chat; read the paper or a book or be in the "third place" away from home and work.

Four & Twenty is a Cafe & Pantry. We have created a space in which the adoration of food is center stage and the utter joy of living is celebrated as a way of life. The food is as playful and quirky as it is passionate and skillful - and the menu changes

My girlfriends and I met for breakfast and share these sentiments.The place is so cute, love the set up and decor and the atmosphere is the perfect balance of chic yet warm and relaxed. Good variety of great dishes at excellent prices, however the food itself was...well...meh. I gave this feedback to the waitress as well - it looked so pretty on the plate but the flavour was so average. We didn't experience a single thing on our plates that raised our brows in delight, made us moan or lingered in memory in any way - it was just average. I also asked to try their Chillicious paste - luckily i did before purchasing as it would've been a waste - it tasted of nothing.Their coffee was great and apparently the cakes and sweet goodies are too.As for the staff - very friendly - our waitress however,OVERLY and annoyingly so. She was just too text book "Yes absolutely, with utmost pleasure and delight, you are absolutely most very welcome to have this or that, and you most certainly may this and most certainly may that" for EVERY little thing was just too much and unfortunately it felt unauthentic. We actually weren't sure if this was her natural demeanour or if she was acting. Four & Twenty, this is sincere feedback and I hope it helps you understand and improve where you feel you need to.

Under the trees in a residential area of Newlands, this cafe is a real find. The building itself is a character Victorian cottage - you can read a little of its backstory on the wall inside the restaurant. There is both indoor and outdoor seating - most of the seating is outdoors either on the verandah or under the trees, but donât worry if - like us - there are no tables available outside and you are taken inside. Thereâs still plenty of character in there, open doors and windows affording an outlook to the outdoors as well as a good view of the amazing baking and other products available. The menu is based around the baking. At lunchtime there was a range of sandwich options. We went for a steak sandwich and a smoked salmon bagel. The former came with fries and the latter with a side salad. An extra treat was the selection of three of their homemade pickles and relishes which came out - in our case, a pineapple relish, tomato chutney and a truly spicy chilli and garlic one. And of course once you have seen the beautiful cakes and sweet treats, it would be very difficult not to try one. We finished with a slice of the enormous and very special carrot cake for my husband, and a piece of the baked cheesecake for me. Accompanied by coffee - which was very good. I was able to get the equivalent of a long black (double shot in a smaller cup) and my husband was able to get his double shot in a larger cup, Americano style. So we were both happy. Good professional service from a knowledgeable team, and some of their homemade items are available for you to take home.
