Heritage Cafe — Restaurant in Eastern Cape

My wife and I were looking for a good cup of coffee, espresso to be exact. We were advised to visit this place yet we were unsure with the lack of reviews however we took the chance.

We were positively surprised with the building, the large steam punk style statue outside was truly African and unlike anything we had ever seen. The heritage building was just that. A modern revamp while keeping it's own integrity. We sat outside on the repurposed seating with a peaking sea view in the midst.

We ordered two espressos. A double and a single. The house blend was a very good coffee however the single espresso held no crema and tasted of an extended pour.

Highly recommended. Will...

I recently revisited my favorite breakfast hotspot, and to my disappointment, it fell short of expectations. The once vibrant and diverse menu has now dwindled to a limited selection, lacking creativity and flavor. I ordered the chicken mayo sandwich, only to find it lacking in chicken and accompanied by cold, uninspiring chips. The absence of fresh fruit juices was disheartening, leaving no refreshing options. Moreover, the service standards have notably declined, with poor waiter etiquette adding to the overall disappointment.
