3 months agoAdorable place with lovely atmosphere. We sat under the grape vines again and drank the best Lemon Meringue milkshakes on earth. They always hit the spot after the wilderness hiking trails. Then we got something to eat, i tried that vegetarian burger because i was interested in all the different toppings. Was overall really good, just the bread that was bit bunt and bit much. By still worth the buy👌 awesome place. The Greatdane was a bonus🫶

3 months agoIt's so nice we went back twice! My family and I were camping in Wilderness and stumbled upon this amazing place with the best cheesecake and coffee. I had the blueberry cheesecake, and my parents had the peanut butter & chocolate cheescake. It was absolutely delicious! The service is quick and the staff is very friendly. We went back the next day for lunch as well. Once again, everything was great, I had the chicken mayo tramazinni while my parents had the Swartvlei chicken burger. We couldn't help but take away cheescake, this time around, we tried the Apple & Caramel, amazing once again. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place! They also have a big friendly giant, called Typhoon (Great Dane), who will lounge about the restaurant.

11 months agoWe were on holiday in Knysna and found this cafe to be the only place open and serving something to eat at the Timberlake Village on a Tuesday. We enjoyed our meal there so much that we came back on Wednesday instead of trying to find another place close by to eat. The setting under the trees is tranquil, and one will spot the "Naughty Monkey" every now and then hopping from tree to tree. Also, we were relieved to find that the cafe is pet friendly as every eating establishment in Knysna is no longer allowing pets. Their fresh fruit juices are highly recommended! Great coffee, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza and burger. Staff are friendly and efficient!

2 months agoEfficient customer service is not a priority for this business. Left without being served. Such a pity, beautiful location. Edit: after reading owner's reply: We politely asked the waiter for two muffins to go as we were in a rush, we were kind and patient. However, after disappearing we couldn't communicate with him (waiter) anymore. The same 4 muffins that were on display upon entering were still on display. He never took 2 out of the display. So we left. We never want to leave a negative review but communication from his part could've been helpful. We were left standing there and wondering if he forgot about us.

a year agoSuch a cute spot to have a quick bite. Their meals are SO tasty and the staff were incredibly friendly and warm . It's located in Timberlake Village, where there are various local vendors and a fun play area for the kids. Definitely recommend stopping over here if you're doing a Garden Route Trip
