This has become a regular coffee shop of mine. The service is really good and the staff are usually very friendly. I’ve only experienced one incident where the server I had was unpleasant and unprofessional. Otherwise the coffee is delicious and they have some nice food options. I would recommend the signature vanilla latte. There is secure parking in the centre and the aesthetic of the shop is quite nice. The only thing is that there isn’t a lot of seating and the outside seating is a little uncomfortable. They have free Wi-Fi for customers and it’s a nice place to sit and work for a few hours.

Definitely my favorite coffee shop, any day of the week! Best Chai latte served by the friendliest staff! Appreciate the good service and atmosphere at Motherland. Especially Michelle- she is always happy to see each and every customer and goes above and beyond to ensure each visit is the best! The staff at this branch is by far the best!!

I really liked it, the coffee was good and the service as always was super. The coffee they use is great quality so that always helps. The selection of small eats is also really nice. My absolute favourite is the chocolate brownie, perhaps not the healthiest though;).
If it's good coffee you want then Motherland Coffee at Blu Bird you must. Friendly staff good service and did I mention the Chicken salad 🥗 a must if you're in the area
I was really surprised by the stale bagel caprese. This past Sunday I was awaiting my Dr for a 9am appointment.Being early and hungry, my husband went to get 2 dirty chai lattes and a bagel from the Bluebird branch. The lattes were fine, but the bagel, unbelievably dry and stale. I had forgotten to return it after our appointment, but what a disappointment since I frequently order from Motherland, Parktown North. Stale food is not ok.

Motherland started so so well, built on quality, service and atmosphere that could not be challange. For me the personal, sincer, friendly service was a big pull. I visited for great coffee and to be acknowledged with a friendly, caring small. They started out as 5 stars for everything and have slipped so far. At R38 for a regular capachino you must have 5 stars for service and atmosphere or you just become an over priced Star Buck scoring a fat zero in value. Two days ago I went to Blu Bird and experience sad misserable people who seemed to considerd it a favour to serve me. I wont be back, there are very competative alternatives.9

In terms of the coffee landscape the cappuccino and traditional cappuccino were ok but not great. With the market getting more competitive day by day this wouldn't be my first choice. But it is personal 🙂.
Wonderful staff and the best coffee. Went there with my gran who struggles to hear and the staff were so kind to ensure that she had everything she needed. They brought the food out to us and paid special attention to her. The vegan milk options are also great and very good. Loved it!
