Penny Oven - Kalkbaai iNingizimu Afrika

Excellent coffee here! Scrambled eggs were not good. It was like the cook made a thick omelet and then chopped it up. Went back today for coffee. The baked goods look tasty too.

Cute local spot with a rustic oven . I guess they use this for all of their cooking as all of our dishes came out in cute casserole type dishes. Cheery spot that also sells a lot of fun knick knacks and bottled beverages on top of their offerings. Food was overall good. The shakshuka and cauliflower hash were both very yummy. However we were not a fan of the Dutch baby Dutch oven pancake which is basically a baked pancake. This is probably just the type of dish it is and probably fine for what it is but it 's gooey and raw and it wasn 't for me.My biggest complaint was the seating. The atmosphere is very cute but I was really turned off by how dirty the seats and tables were left. We went during Saturday lunch time and I guess maybe they were a bit understaffed. There was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor all throughout the restaurant but it took a while to find a place that we could sit, mostly because the tables and chairs weren 't clean. Most of the tables even if they were unoccupied still had scraps of food or stains on the table and on the chairs. I think this was after the staff had tried to clean it already, so maybe whoever was doing it just wasn 't thorough and didn 't notice the water/juice stains and food scraps... We searched and also waited around for someone to clean. Mind you, I 'm not talking about an individual seat that someone didn 't have time to get to. We are talking about 10 plus seats/tables that were all dirty, which made me think there was just a difference in standard regarding what 's ok or not. My husband grabbed a napkin and started wiping off some of the chairs. I was getting ready to ask to convert our order to a takeout order but finally someone came around with a rag to help clean the seats so we finally sat down. We go to public places a lot so I 'm certainly not expecting places to be pristine or sterile but this was certainly worse than I was expecting.Keep in mind it 's not like the place is cheap either. I bought orange juice for $5 and it was yummy but it basically came in a kiddie cup about half the size of juices that I get at other places. My husband joked that I was basically paying for the straw, since the straw was obviously much much taller than the cup. But again the food was fine, and we finished everything except the Dutch pancake. My husband joked that the plates were cleaner than the seats.The food was overall yummy but it wasn 't that pleasant of an experience because of the other factors. Hopefully it 's better on other days.

Terrible customer service, specially the cashier (blonde with a bob) on weekends. We were visiting from out of state and wanted to grab a quick breakfast before we head out to the airport. We ordered house coffee a tuna toast to go. The cashier literally waited 30 min, until all the orders before and WAY after ours were made, and the cooks went on their breaks, to make the toast which took ONE MINUTE. I was standing there waiting and watching everyone get their orders except us. This was all because my baby had broken a jar of jam that we were going to buy. We apologized repeatedly and gladly offered to pay for it. The cashier reassured us it was fine, and it ‘happens all the time’, but charged us without telling us. Then kept us waiting for 30min for a tuna toast. Disgusting.

Cool place, love the egg white omelette with haloumi cheese, amazing oat milk latte, tons fo different breads and pastry. Super friendly staff, great food, highly recommend. Check out the penny wall and brick oven, yes it's covered with pennies genius idea. Outdoor and indoor seating, indoor is more like sharing tables which is cool beings people together. Definitely try the house potatoes with zaatar yummy

A nice place to get breakfast. I've been a few times and it's popular, especially with the new parent crowd. Food is good, coffee is good, and the pastries are good.Parking is sometimes challenging and it can get busy.Parking: Parking might be hard to find on nearby residential streets
