Sadie's Bistro — Restaurant in Gauteng

Had a scheduled day at the Mineral Council, looked for a coffee shop in close proximity that opened early (prefer coming in early to avoid the traffic). From the webpage, they stipulated a 06h30 opening. Perfect! Arrived at 06h32 and they were open, still busy packing out the outside tables, chairs and umbrellas, but they managed to open a path between the stacked chairs for me to access a corner table. Coffee machine was already on and it was not long and I had a Americano Grande in front of me, piping hot with some creme. Perfect. Not the best Espresso beans, but certainly suitable for your medium roast palates. Took about 45minutes to get the tables and chairs all sorted. Cleaning lady came round washing the floors, strong chemical smell, assume Jik bleach or such. Tended to singe the palate and nasal cavities - perhaps a better idea at the end of shift? Tables and chairs were suitable (fit for purpose) and the tables, cutlery and crockery was clean and not harsh on the eye. Morning newspapers were also available to peruse through to aid passing the time - been awhile since I last paged through a newspaper. Ordered a omelette from the Bantings friendly menu (kudos guys). Was reasonably well presented, a little dry for my likes, but the fresh avocado pear helped ease it down. Other customers came and went, particularly the outside coffee on the run/to go service. Noticed a window front area where those with laptops can work, out the way for the dash and grabbers. The art on display was interesting and added to the ambiance. Staff were friendly and service was good. Would gladly go again should the need arise. By the time I left at 08h30, the cafe was...

Sometime in January me and this other colleague of mine went to City Perk Café and it was around 2:45 pm. She said she wanted something to eat and insisted that we go to City Perk because apparently from 3pm they usually have half prices. I didn't know anything about half prices as I am used to buying their items with full prices.

when we got there we were early with 5 minutes, and we waited until 3, and the prices went down. when we got there 5 minutes before 3 it was only the two of us, and suddenly 3pm people come and they get assisted before us, I kept on saying but we came first and the guy who works there just ignored us. I asked to speak to the manager, I explained everything and guess what his response was, he is actually doing us a favour by dropping the prices and I don't have to complain about anything. I decided to leave and I vowed that I will never set my foot...

When I was there I saw the bucket inside the air fryer to be cleaned by the owner only to find that the support on the bottom also fell in the trash bag. He took it out, put it back in the air fryer and put my sandwich there ... Yuck I hope the garbage bag only had food in it it was disgusting. Also a price error on the sandwich, yet when I asked to check he said it was the same price. Had to show him his own menu to get a refund, took also a while. Mac and cheese took so long he asked the kitchen 3 times if it was ready / when is it coming... Double check the bill, do not check the kitchen ! Food was good but took forever. Not sure if I would recommend but I did. 2 stars because in retrospect I did not like my experience

Edit : adding a star because of the professional follow up. This happened last week of...
