mugg & bean

coffee was terrible...much to my dismay... the california omlet was decent enough, though. service wasn't the best. had to call the waiter everytimewe needed her.

tried the big ben thistimeand man, was it huge! it was so so good but so filling. definitely not something that can be eaten alone

breakfast with my parents at mugg & bean this morning and we had another great experience.

we had their eggs benedict, croissant and on the go breakfast and then topped it off with some blueberry flapjacks. it was my firsttimetrying their eggs benedict and it did not disappoint at all! the croissant was buttery and light always. their on the go breakfast is the perfect meal for one who doesn't want to eat too much, and then the flapjacks was simply just ah-maz-ing!

with such good food, fast and friendly service it's no secret as to why i keep returning.

this is the second occasion that i am visiting this branch. the firsttimei created my own omelet and my partner had the all american breakfast. both breakfasts and the coffees were wonderful. today a friend and i decided to have lunch here as their menu is really appealing. i enjoyed the sesame crusted buttermilk chicken burger and my friend enjoyed the jalapeño stuffed burger (forgot what it was called). burgers were amazing. some restaurants skimp quality over quantity however m&g offers both equally.

i finally visited this mugg and bean branch since they've become halaal and this was truly one of the best experiences i've had at any mugg and bean.

we were greeted by our very friendly and accommodating waitron, jaco.

my friend and i both ordered the sesame crusted buttermilk chicken burger with rosemary fries. wow... talk about a gourmet burger! the knotted buns were topped with the sesame-crusted buttermilk chicken strips, rainbow slow, grated parmesan, fresh tomato and drizzled with a garlic mayo and honey-lemon citrus reduction. it was absolutely delicious - the flavours worked so well together and the portion size was large - definitely one of the best burgers i've had!

for dessert i had a slice of their lemon meringue. i've always loved mugg and bean's lemon meringue because the actual lemon part is quite tart which works perfectly with the sweet meringue - they get the balance perfect everytimeand today was no exception.

my friend had a slice of the peppermint crisp cake. for my own personal taste i thought that there was a bit too much cream and too little peppermint crisp / caramel.

overall i had a really great first experience at the branch with great food and even better service (thanks jaco!) - i can see this quickly becoming one of my favourite spots close to him to get a quick meal.

been a longtimesince ive been to a mugg and bean so we tried the new one in kenilworth centre. its the only halaal one in cpt as the one in vangate mall closed down. i had the normal m&b breakfast. basic but i guess it filled the spot. service was helpful and efficient.
