Melissa’s Constantia

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews of this Melissa's before coming here or I may not have come at all which would have been such a pity! We had a lovely afternoon tea here with the friendliest service I've had in ages. The lady serving us was so kind and concerned about my food allergies and made an effort to find out exactly what I could and couldn't eat off the menu. I ended up sharing a slice of the carrot cake with a friend and it was absolutely the best carrot cake I've had in a long time. My soy milk hot chocolate was perfect in this cold weather and the Nutella mochachino is a real treat. Not sure if issues arise when you order actual meals off the menu, but I'd recommend coming for tea and cake here any day.

I was hesitant to go to Melissa's given the lukewarm reviews. I went in to find cute decor and lots of yummy foods on display. I'm not sure if they always allow breakfast at lunch but I had the omelette with mushrooms and a soya cappucino. The omelette was huge and I couldn't finish it I'm not sure how many eggs they put in!. The ingredients tasted fresh and light. Really enjoyed it. The soya cappucino was great. The waiter was nice and attentive. The food took a little long to come but it was hot and tasty when it did.

I've been going to Melissa's since I was a kid as it's close to where I grew up. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is a cozy, relaxed one and their food is amazing. They make delicious hot chocolate and croissants!

Excellent breakfast and lunch place for the healthier eaters. Also good for a cup of coffee. The food shop has an excellent selection of higher end organic options as well as some more sinful high quality ice creams. Plenty of parking.

Lovely breakfasts and lunch buffet if you don't feel like ordering from the menu. Good selection of deli type products on offer. I recommend sitting outside on the covered porch as it can get noisy inside.
