l8 cafe

lovely place in a very nice courtyard, awesome for brunch outside on a sunny day! however, most tables seem to be outdoors so this wouldn't be such a nice place on rainy/colder days. thefoodis great! i had the l8 breakfast and the brie on top of the scrambled eggs is quite creative. the staff is very nice but when entering, it was a bit confusing since there were other restaurants next to it and no staff welcomed us and helped us grab tables.

i love the 44 stanley vibe and l8 is in the heart of it. they are known for their sandwiches, burgers and paninis and they serve delicious craft beers, g&t's and they have a wonderful selection of wines. they really have a great menu, dying to go there for breakfast.

the service was good, but thefooddid take a while to arrive.

now onto the food, i ordered the mclovin’ burger it was tasty, but kind of lacked seasoning. the patty was cooked well, but my greens were soggy :( the boys at the table ordered the dude and they absolutely loved it, the yolk was runny and the flavours were tasty. others at the table ordered the mr wolf open sandwich: chicken, feta, peppadews, avo and l8 sauce. the chicken was succulent but needed more sauce. 

a lovely place to visit on the weekend with some friends.

omg omg omg!!! is pretty much what i would describe my experience as when visiting this little cafè in 44 stanley. an amazing atmosphere created by two amazing owners that have an unbelievable passion forfood. their cafè is an absolute vision and was started purely out of afoodstall at the rosebank roof top market 8 years ago. firstly i would definitely recommend their range of burgers, i know what you are thinking, everyone says try the burgers but honestly this is a hidden gem of a burger joint. i will definitely be visiting here way more often . i can honestly say it was a unbelievable burger, 1 of my top 5 burgers iv ever had, which includes travelling across the usa tasting burgers so please make it a top 5 on your list . i can not thank filip for all your insight into the business and thank you for a truely unforgettable experience.

definitely worth a visit even if its just for a cuppa of whatever, there coffee is to die for. small secret😉.

i’ve gotfooda few times from here, my most recent being the worst, the other times thefoodwas pleasant.
i love the toasties, but the burger i recently had was horrible, bad quality bun, dry patty and the chips weren’t great either.

the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and attentive. the presentation of thefoodand the drinks was superb. the menu was interesting and varied. the burgers are what sets this restaurant apart though - the patties were delicious (the best in johannesburg) and the buns were the perfect size. i will definitely be coming back.

the place is small but has a great feel.foodwas ultra delicious(the burgers especially). service was outstanding. overall just a wonderful experience. really enjoyed their gin and tonic combinations 👌🏾

this is a lovely spot nestled in the vibey 44 stanley in milpark. quick service, goodfoodand great coffee. however they ran short on a few ingredients which left limited choices on the drinks menu. i ate the lester burnham sandwich which was good but felt the turkish bread a little too tough with an overpowering amount of pesto. all round nice experience.

i think this is the first 5/5 for me on zomato. came here with my mates and i was so impressed with the kind staff. very pleased with the fast service and thefoodis excellent. perfect to bring a date here as well.

theirfoodwas awesome. my sister has a cheese burger while i opted for a raymond babbit. it was better than i expected and the staff was more than accommodating. the atmosphere at 44 stanley is part of what makes the experience. my only complaint is that the setting isn't the greatest in summer when there is a 90% chance of having bird droppings land on you, that was unsettling. other than that, a good experience.

the service, albeit incredibly friendly, was incredibly slow. we waited almost 15 minutes to orderfoodafter receiving our drinks, and another almost 50 minutes for the food.
the chicken salad was insanely overpriced for some chicken, avo, tomato and lettuce leaves.
my companions bun-less burgers definitely saved the day though! awesome foodie combos and interesting flavours 😁
won't be back in a hurry.

super cool place. greatfood, great a presentation , excellent friendly service , relaxed atmosphere. i would advise anyone to visit this amazing cafe as it accommodates for all. its great and well worth it.

we had an excellent lunch here. thefoodwas fantastic and so was the atmosphere. we will definitely be back and seeing that they are pet friendly we will bring coco with next time!

what a relaxed place... greatfoodwith a touch of european taste and careful choice of ingredients - always fresh and worth certified origin.
warmly recommended.

we've been a couple times and are yet to have a bad meal. it was freezing this weekend in jhb and even though it's located outside we chose to go anyway! we were welcomed with nice warm blankets to keep us warm. a very nice touch!

our waitress was a legend, incredibly helpful and a good sense of humour.foodwas great as usual.. coffee was good... love 44 stanley and these guys are just one of the many cool spots there!

really awesome restaurant! the service is amazing! thefoodis absolutely awesome! and vibe is amazing! really nice, small restaurant which will never disappoint!
