munch cafe

we tried out munch cafe for a kid's birthday (my niece & nephew turned 2). the food was very tasty. i was disappointed that the playground was not right where the seating was (as the website suggests). we were also only allocated one waitress for our big table and she really struggled. i haven't beenbacksince, which is unfortunate. i think a few minor improvements to the play area will help- along with a minder perhaps. the cakes were delicious, and enjoyed by all. but overall, nothing too amazing.

i had my twins 2nd birthday party at munch. the manager was very accommodating and we had our own little private section for our party. it's a great little kid friendly cafe. i would say though that it is for children older than 3 years olds as the play area is separate from where you sit and the ground is gravel which i don't think is the best material in a kids play area. they also, can you believe this, do not have baby changing facilities. this proved highly irritating and left me and my guests without an appropriate place for us to change our kids.

the food and service was good! they have a wide variety on their menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. i haven't gonebacksince but maybe i will now that my kids are a bit bigger and the playground is more appropriate for them now.

p.s. their scones are amazing :-)

such a lovely setting outside under the trees & nestled inside the nursery. the coffee is good and served with a little ginger biscuit (never fails). the staff is so friendly and always smiling, a big win! the breakfast was super delicious. hubby had the pita breakfast and i had an omelette. the food was tasty and plentiful. the homemade bread also delicious. a big positive fir me was the fact that they serve "real" jam - i hate getting those pre-packed jams that taste like plastic. their jam was great, thanks for taking the time to think about the small things. would gobackany day for a fresh croissant or pancake yum!

second time around, and never dissappoints. quality food, good service and beautiful setting, at thebackof the garden shop rosebank. great for the littles too with a play area situated just next to the undercover seating area to keep them entertained and lovely childminders to keep an eye on them while you slurping down your cuppa and stuffing your face with a freshly baked scone. prices quite reasonable around r 200ish for two. we had a breakfast croissant filled with scrambled egg and crispy bacon, and an omelette filled with salmon & halloumi and of course drinks. nice outing on your way in or out of a a quick visit to the nursery.

this little place is like a pocket of bliss, tucked away at thebackof a beautiful nursery. great place for breakfast and brunch. decent coffee and food. the ambience really makes this place.

lovely service and really delish food! we had the chicken & haloumi salad and the kids had toasted cheese and chips. the food came out fast and was tasty - we'll definitely bebackas it's nice to have a change from all the usual spots.

munch cafe does simple food well. the service is friendly and prompt, and the venue is a welcome break away from the hustling streets of johannesburg. their coffee is a letdown though - they should have kept using origin, as they did a couple of years back. all in all, worth a visit. tip: buy plants for the garden afterwards (they're situated in a nursery) and headbackhome for some green finger therapy.

great place to go for a quiet lunch during the week - located at thebackof the garden shop nursery (corner jan smuts & bolton). they have excellent baristas preparing the perfect cappuccino every time. a perfect spot for weekend brunches as well - if you don't mind the kid friendly atmosphere. have the salmon florentine.

munch is a quiet spot tucked away behind the nursery. good for lunch meetings or coffee meetings where you need to hear yourself speak! the outside decor is nothing to write home about. they offer all sorts of coffees, and i had a chai latte which was good. i'd be interested in goingbackfor a full meal.
