Second Cup — Restaurant in Roodepoort

What a pleasant surprise!! I've always loved Second Cup but haven't visited since 2018 - Just before my dad passed. Special place because that's where we shared our last "Restaurant Meal" together as he was already very sick at the time. I had a good time that day due to awesome food and the best waiter EVER. Unfortunately I can't remember his name. I visited again recently & found the place looks even more stunning than before!!! VERY nice renovations done to the shops that make Second Cup more than just a food stop in a nice garden!!

& Of course... The chickens and chiclets are still running around -CUTE! I always look forward to seeing them!!!

Breakfast is definitely a step up from your local Wimpy and lunches like these... You won't find at your Family Restaurants like Spur... Every meal is perfectly prepared, portion sizes are really decent, I've never received cold food or beverages and waiting time is not bad considering. Not that waiting a bit is even noticed as you are swept away by the surrounding greenery, the chickens running around, the birds making themselves known in the trees and interesting things for your eyes to linger on.

Also, ALL the waiters are friendly, focused, as fast as they can be and you can see they're all part of the furniture and probably know the menu by heart. I asked the waiter to ask the chef not to be shy with the cheese sauce and I really smiled when my plate arrived! That's really going above and beyond to satisfy a customer. What a nice team to work for you! TO the waiters at second cup: You are all SUPA AYOBA!

The gate is not manned BUT the parking is safe. You should see a security person close by the moment you get out of your car. They're not the kind to run over and greet and hint hint for cash - which is great, but they're on their posts watching. Perfectly secure parking. The kind of guys I'll walk over to to tip myself... I think it would be well worth it and deserved to set them up with a basic, covered watch out spot like a small shed to shield the sun in summer where they can at least plug in a heater or a kettle in winter & charge a phone.

Really feels like you took a drive out to the Country Side. Over-all lovely experience. Thanks & keep up...

Amazing forest type of setup provides lots of private little spaces to sit underneath huge indigenous trees who give natural shades during the hot summer days. Ample guarded parking available. The place offers some of the most interesting privately run shops and boutiques where you find things no mall can offer you. Funky fashion, footwear for the beach, a mix between the flower power look and Heidi guarantees something for everyone. When you sit outside please don't get a fright if you see chicken and duckling running between the tables and coming to see you for a visit. It's a real hidden gem to enjoy your breakfast or lunch in a beautiful nature type of place. Food is excellent and decorated with eatable little flowers. The waitress and waitresses are very friendly and will gladly help you with your choices of what to eat as everything sounds exciting and exotic. The icecoffe was superb. Great mix of tees available too. The actual time between ordering and waiting for the food took however very long. Drinks were served after asking couple of times for it. I'm not sure what the reason was; perhaps a kitchen related problem? Or new trainees? I'm sure it was temporary and not something which occurs often. Definitely worthwhile visiting if you look for a hidden gem in the Randburg/ Honeydew/...

I recently visited Second Cup, a quaint restaurant with a beautiful tea garden and some of the most delicious food and desserts I have ever tasted. While the decor is certainly outdated, it somehow adds to the charm of the place and makes it feel like a hidden gem.

The real highlight of Second Cup is the tea garden, where you'll find chickens running around and a serene atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a different world. It's a great spot for a relaxing breakfast, and the food here does not disappoint. I highly recommend trying the breakfast options, as they are simply amazing.

The food is prepared with care and attention to detail, and the flavors are simply divine. From the fresh baked goods to the homemade jams, everything is absolutely top-notch. But the real stars of the show here are the desserts - I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are simply incredible.

While the decor may not be everyone's cup of tea, the food and tea garden at Second Cup make it well worth a visit. Whether you're looking for a tasty breakfast or simply want to relax and soak up the charming atmosphere, this is a place that you won't want to miss. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be...
