scheckter's raw

i was excited to try out this unique breakfast spot. ever since tasting vegan ice cream at unframed, i've been very interested in trying out other vegan food products. unfortunately, scheckter's raw left me a bit disappointed.

i opted for the famous matcha flapjacks. maybe they just weren't to my taste, or maybe coupled with a matcha latte, it was just too much matcha for one day. point is, although the flapjacks were fresh and fluffy, i felt they were way too doughy and i was full after only a few bites. too much flapjack and not enough to go with it in my opinion.

i did finish my latte though, and thoroughly enjoyed it. healthy doesn't come cheap, and a quick breakfast for one set me back r130. i'm glad i came to experience it though. i think it's a great new trend that everyone should try at least once!

schechter's is the sunday morning health in the hangover, if you don't mind the crowd and the gym outfits.

the warm peanuty hearty quinoa porridge with a cappuccino really hit the winter spot with all its richness. the coffee, i must say, is exceptionally delicious.

the pumpkin pie flapjacks got us excited, unfortunately. it tastes as if they really tried hard to make sweet, savoury, failed at it and just tasted like the dough. the side of vegan ice cream was a last ditch attempt. still a fan but not of that.

by far the best vegan restaurant i've been to in cape town, brilliant flavors that are tasty and could convert any meat-eater. the menu is packed full with healthy choices that range from all types of cuisine making the menu diverse and offering something for everyone's taste. i recommend to anyone who appreciates quality ingredients used in a creative way to visit this restaurant. i hope to see more of scheckters restaurants around cape town soon as he's got vegan food down to a fine art.

an acute pancake craving led me to shekter's raw one morning, on the promise from my friend that it would absolutely satisfy. was i disappointed? yes. i tucked into some matcha pancakes (the ones pictured above), and wished i hadn't. thick and dense and sticky. i turned to my coffee, thinking it would make the pancakes go down easier. yet another dead-end to my experience. i realized it was from the sugar substitute that they used. pretty sure normal sugar is vegan. in short: hangover not satisfied and the toasted cheese i made myself when i got home was much  appreciated.

amazing, healthy, tasty food and awesome service. served me food ordered from the kitchen even though they were closing in 10 minutes. their fridge takeaway food is just as awesome as the served food.

kak expensive but oh so worth it! couldn't choose but the thai red curry got me feeling some type of way. lekker vibes & great service. i'll be back!

i had the amazing opportunity to have brunch here with a good foodie friend of mine. (by "foodie friend" i mean she loves food just as much as i love it!) we decided on scheckter's raw because 1, it's on the entertainer app, so buy one get one (yes please!) and 2, we are always trying to find all the healthy places to dine at. 

we have been speaking about coming here for a while now as we really wanted to try out the flapjacks, but it is not available on the entertainer app (only main meals) and i refuse to pay r80 for flapjacks! so what is the next best choice? burgers!!!

okay so first, lets start on the drinks. as it was a cold rainy day, we decided on coffee. i had an organic americano. it was so tasty and warmed me up from the inside. i think they use their own brand of organic coffee so brownie points to you guys! my friend had the mocha latte and it looked amazing! it came with such a cute cup, i literally wanted to take it home with me!

okay, onto the burgers. omg. i do not have words for this. so when the burgers arrived, all i saw was the black bun. i didn't want to tell my friend, but the only thing that i was thinking was "no ways i am eating black bread". i was pleasantly surprised though! it honestly tasted like "normal" bread, just not as heavy as "normal" bread. we had the cvc (cajun vegan chicken), the "chicken patty" tasted amazing. honestly, if you gave me that and told me it's chicken, i would totally believe you. the bbq sauce that they used was so flavourful and worked amazing with the huge chunk of avo on the burger.

the burgers came with sweet potato fries, which we all know is definitely my fav. the fries tasted like they were baked, not fried, which is a little better than oily chips (even though oily chips are good on their day). the vegan aioli that accompanied the fries were just amazing! i wanted to lick out the little serving of aioli! they also sell small pots of the vegan aioli. 

before we came, i read some reviews on zomato which said that the service was a little slow. i am not going to lie to you, the service is slow, but once your order is in things go quick! 

i would definitely be back as i really want to try the thai red curry, the flapjacks (when i am rich enough) and the smoothies (on a warmer day)!  they also have delicious, clean desserts which includes snickers bars, cheesecakes and oreos to name a few. these desserts go for r55 each. that is a little pricey for a girl on a budget hey! 

but anyways, good job guys! keep up the good work, i will see you again soon!

i really like the food here. their zucchini pasta with avo and lemon sauce is amazing. also enjoyed their matcha and pumpkin pancakes and their dhal wrap. they have almond milk but it would be nice to also have the option of soya. service should definately needs to be addressed. it's very difficult to get the waiters attention to make an order/ ask for the bill etc. otherwise thanks for yum vegan food!

sitting at scheckters waiting for my food order and people watching . have witnessed 4 couples come in sit down and after 10 minutes leave as nobody came to serve them . i have now been waiting 25 minutes since ordering . maybe vegans are more chilled but they need to be more attentive in front of house as they are losing customers . food arrived and was good so have very mixed feelings about this place !!

this a cool spot. i enjoyed the experience and the food is so tasty. the service could be a bit speedier but it can't be considered bad. we loved the bvb and cvc.

scheckter's raw is probably one of the coolest spots in the mother city. needless to say, i was pretty excited to check it out - and now i understand why they're so well-loved. the food really is delicious, and everything you order on the menu has a twist of something insanely interesting and super yum. they're a raw/vegan spot, so you defs need to be aware of that when you come dine here (aka, they're not banting-friendly, etc). 

we shared one of their delicious wraps and their famous hemp flapjacks. super yum and i can only recommend them! plus, they look absolutely gorgeous - very instagrammable ;)

i stopped here after a workout for a take away. the service was quick and efficient. i had the pumpkin flapjacks with the ice cream and a health shot. will definitely be back to try more of their amazing menu! wish they would come to joburg!

nice little cafe in sea point , focused on healthy living , veganism and raw diets… with a very chilled and enjoyable environment  . i was looking for a healthy lunch option in sea point and i found scheckters raw , and i’m very happy i did !! they have a wide selection of raw food available, everything made freshly on site …  wraps , currys , poke bowls,  salads etc… same variety on the drinks department !

this was my first time eating at a vegan resturant and it was delicious!!! i had their famous scheckter's burger and it was delicious, for a meat lover i didn't miss my meat at all. i had some of the zucchini pasta as well, wasn't a big fan mainly because the mint which i found slightly over powering.

i also had their triple oreo cookies for dessert and it was really good, something i'd definitely go back for.

overall the vibe is great, there's free wifi and the decor is rustic which i love.

the menu is proper vegan/organic food. everything is yummy. i left this place fully satisfied with smile on my face:) and it is dog friendly, everyone super friendly there too.
