We enjoyed ourselves, the food was great and the waiter was the best We will definetly come back for more.

Lovely decor but sadly the service does not match up! Waited really long for any attention and then waited even longer for our food to arrive, and then, if possible, even longer to try settle our bill! We only had cake and tea but it...wasn't anything extra special and the Cafe was very noisy so, all in all, not the greatest experience.More

I held my partners 30th Birthday celebration at Essence and the service that we received was remarkable. Steven, the owner, knew exactly how to put me at ease and went out of his way to assist me with what ever I needed. The staff were...one step ahead the entire evening, served amazing food, were full of smiles and were eager to attend to all the guests requests. I am so thankful for the Essence team for making the celebration so much more special where I could focus on those being hosted in such a relaxed environment. You have outdone yourselves Essence team!More

Lovely food. I highly recommend the Falafel breakfast. Each element of the breakfast tasted like they were cooked with care. The flavours were fantastic. A solid 5/5 for that breakfast dish.

Essence has a rustic look with ancient items in different corners of the restaurant. The waitors are very pleasant and the food is absolutely superb. I loved every bite of my starters and my mains. In addition I had an ice coffee which was strong...and delicious. Definitely my new go to place.More

I like the homely, relaxed atmosphere at this restaurant. The food was sumptuous and fresh. Oir waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was impressive that there was only a private party hosted there but it wasn't intrusive to the other diners

I visited this venue twice with family over the festive season. We were looking for a café that was open, that serves healthier meal options and has good coffee. The first visit was with my mom and a second time with the whole family. We...really enjoyed the crispy calamari salad on both occasions! It was delicious, good value, fresh and healthy. Would definitely recommend this venue!More

We went to Essence Cafe for lunch. I had a crispy calamari salad. Most of salad was leaves with calamari that was fried covered with flour. Unfortunately the flour was still raw. The service was great.

Had dinner here with friends day before a cycling race , we ordered pasta and it was divine, loved it. The atmosphere in the restuarant was awesome, great ambiance . It was a cold evening and the heaters made us forget the miserable weather outside...:-) Our waiter was also awesome 👌🏾More

The ambiance is appreciated for a rainy, there is fire glowing. Lots of servers around. Don't ask for a glass of water, it takes longer than a drink to arrive. The harvest table has a wide selection of good food. It would be appreciated that...when there is food on the harvest table, it be kept hot. Why serve it then?? A good place to eat at, be there at 12 and line up for lunch for hot food.More

I can recommend the calamari. It was tende and served with a delicious sauce. The harvest table had a wonderful selection of various dishes to chose from.

Essence cafe has a good warm and welcoming feel to it. It has good food that is reasonably priced, however the service is slow and the waiters are not friendly. You have to wait a long time to get the attention of a waiter and...then he did not even bother to return. Really dissapointing service.More
