Commonground Cafe

Delicious sandwiches and coffees here. It can get quite packed but service usually remains pretty quick and the food is worth it. The balcony also has a lovely view of the mountain, and they even have board games available for 'awkward first dates! ' A great cafe for a quick and easy coffee or light meal.

Great coffee and service that is always on point.<br/ Lots of smiles and that welcoming feeling as soon as you sit down. <br/ If you are feeling indulgent there are some lovely pastries and other baked goods on offer. <br/ <br/ Worth a visit if you are catching up with a friend or family member in the area

Lovely cafe with a more-than-lovely view! Went to this cafe for breakfast on the way somewhere during the week, expecting a fairly mediocre experience. The place was semi-full, but with not much of an atmosphere. We sat outside to enjoy the warm morning and the view. Staff were friendly enough and the food was well made. Nothing screamed amazing, but I must disagree with what I've heard about this place- it's really not as bad as I thought it would be. The food was satisfying, well made, and overall a good experience. I would definitely pop in there again with a friend to admire the view and have a decent breakfast that doesn't break the bank! Quiet gem right by the Rondebosch Common.

I come here just for the view. True to its name, it faces the sprawling Common. Creamy scrambled egg breakfasts and coffee are my favourite items. I've never had lunch or cake but they all look good. A perfect spot to work or meet a friend and waiters are attentive

Easy to access in the morning. Great, friendly service. Superb coffee. A delicious 'farmers ' omelette. And one of my favourite views in the world ... UCT ... Seen from across the common, nestled against the mountain. Do yourself a favour ... I certainly will be doing so frequently!
