Fego Caffe - Isipingo

I was very disappointed. The food took an excessive amount of time to arrive, and when it finally did, they brought the wrong order! Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as 1 out of 5.

Service: Dine-in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: R 50–100

The hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict was sour. Four out of the seven of us who ate there are now experiencing stomach issues. The service was subpar and did not meet expectations. It appears that previous negative reviews regarding the service at this establishment are justified. How has the management or FEGO headquarters not addressed these issues? Food rating: 1, Service rating: 1.

The menu is surprisingly extensive for what is generally considered a coffee shop. I expected only a few light meal options, but instead found a variety of sandwiches, wraps, salads, and a breakfast menu, along with full meal options. They also offer a wide selection of gourmet coffees and frappes. For our meal, we ordered the chicken wrap (R62) and a crumbed chicken strip Panini (R58), both of which came with either chips or salad. To drink, we chose their ‘original lemonade’ flavored with watermelon and berry (R27). Fego is known for its generous portion sizes, and the Panini was no exception. I really enjoyed the flavors; the crumbed chicken was well-seasoned and moist. Paired with the chips, it was quite filling for an average appetite. The chips were delicious—thin and crispy without the dryness typical of certain fast food joints. The chicken wrap was light, and the feta paste added a nice touch. Again, the chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy. Overall, the meal met coffee shop standards, except for the lemonade, which was overly sweet and had an artificial taste that overshadowed the flavors. I recommend trying the chicken basket, which is always good, as well as the tramezzinis, especially the Cajun chicken variant.

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It offers great value for your money. The coffee is superb, and the overall ambiance is incredibly calming. I would certainly come back and recommend it to others. A big thank you to the management and staff for providing such a refreshing experience. It's fantastic to enjoy excellent service while relaxing on a comfy couch.
