Great late afternoon catch up place with your friends, they have a jungle gym for the kids and grass area for them to play. They are allowed to draw along the wall with chalk which they all enjoyed!! Also pet friendly! Food was fresh and tasty, large portions, their 80 rand lunch specials work out well. Their custom Craft beer and cocktails are some of the best around, we did the tasting for both and most were really good especially the new two that are not listed on the menu yet. I would have given this 5 stars but the only reason it doesn’t get it is the drinks are room temp. They need to come up with a better solution to keeping the kegs cold other than a fan. The services was amazing very friendly and helpful we will def be returning. Great setup and can only get better, good job!

The staff are extremely friendly and attentive which was a highlight as, we felt welcome the minute we entered and were greeted by a man who I assume was the manager. Our waitress was also great at giving us enough space while still being available whenever we needed her. She was even quick to provide us with boiling water for my daughter’s bottle. My husband ordered the Southern Fried Korean Chicken Burger which he thoroughly enjoyed while, I ordered the Crunchy Falafel Burger. Mine was good too but, I felt it needed more of the sriracha mayo to up the flavour as, this was a bit skimpy. Our flat white coffees were top notch (hot and strong) however, the carrot cheesecake was dry (or stale) and the mini red velvet cupcakes were rock hard. The mini chocolate cupcakes were however incredibly moist and so good I wished I’d ordered more of them and ditched the red velvet. I highly recommend the mini chocolate cupcakes! The restaurant has changing facilities for those with a baby however, I feel the table provided is unsafe as, there are no straps to secure your baby while changing. I think they should consider investing in a Bumbo changing pad to place on top of the table. Also be aware of the hand dryer if your baby is quite little. While changing my daughter, I moved and set off the hand dryer which startled my baby and caused her to cry hysterically. It is awkwardly positioned right next to the changing table so you do have to be aware of it to prevent triggering it repeatedly. I would also suggest parents take the stroller into the bathroom (there seems to be sufficient space) in order to have somewhere to put your baby when packing up and washing your hands. I didn’t do this and it was rather challenging packing up and washing my hands while holding my little one. If the changing table had a way to secure your baby it may have been easier. Overall, it was a decent experience and I think I would visit The Pink House again. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 150–200 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
Falafel wrap is a great choice, loved the slight bite it had to it. Some of the juices on the menu wasn't available, Iced coffee was ok. Carrot Cheese Cake was amazing and recommemd as a take-away if you don't have space after breakfast. Friendly service, but slight delay in receiving orders. Kitchen didn't check plates, but mistake was rectified. Fun kids corner and menu has a few great options, french toast doughnuts portion was huge and my kid loved it. Overall a lovely place with a welcoming feel Meal type Breakfast Price per person R 150–200 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes Falafel
Stopped in for a quick bite before an appointment and the shop was already packed. The barista makes a delicious cortado and the menu has a wide enough selection to cater for most tastes without being overwhelming. Pity we couldn’t stay longer but good excuse to come back for a burger and a beer tasting.

We popped in for their Friday special recently and enjoyed our meal. The menu is quite pricey by normal standards (for the portion size) but they do run some nice specials. The atmosphere and service are pleasant. We sat inside but there's lovely garden-type seating too. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
I am both annoyed and disappointed with today’s experience at The Pink House. We arrived at 2:15pm to have a coffee and cake. I was told on arrival to be aware that they are closing at 3pm contrary to what is advertised on their website (and contrary to what I’ve just seen on Google and on Facebook) for trading hours. After a lengthy explanation from who I think was the manager on duty, we sat down in the smoking area. No waiter or waitress in sight with menus. We sat there for about 5-10minutes thinking clearly they don’t want to sell us a coffee so we decided to leave. Please update your trading hours on your Facebook page since it today reads closing time is 3:30pm, and try not to make people feel unwelcome as they walk in the door. It’s such a disappointment since it’s such an amazing venue. Perhaps Sunday afternoon is not the time to visit Pink House with guests. Especially since I tried to call to confirm the closing time and they did not answer the call. Service Dine in Meal type Other Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Went for breakfast as there was a charity event taking place at the restaurant. Great food and excellent service from our waiter. We didn't even have to ask for extras, he anticipated our needs.

Amazing experience. The service was excellent. We were 6 people. The waiter was very good, making sure what each one ordered and placed it down 100%. The food was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place. Very neat and clean. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 200–250 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Toast

Great place, really like it and absolutely admire that they don’t over charge for gluten free options. This is a major win! Only thing. I had a breakfast pizza and was hoping it would be glittered with scrambled egg but it was just a single fried egg in the middle. It was atleast wel decorated with meats etc, but could’ve done with some more egg to help moisten it up.
