Karoo Cafe - Stinkwater

Absolutely LOVE Karoo!! The food is amazing, atmosphere top notch and the service excellent. Plus, for a bookworm like myself, the bookshop is a major plus. Karoo offers so much more than food and a happy atmosphere. Check this hidden gem out for yourself and meet Marshall, the beautiful Great Dane !

As a first time customer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The food here was delicious and the portion sizes were decent. I would definitely say it’s value for money as well. The only downside is that the food did take a bit long to arrive but we were happy with it once it did. Our waitress gave us great service- she was attentive but wasn’t constantly coming to check on us which we appreciated. All the waitresses were friendly and it was good to see that they were aware of the cleanliness of the tables after each patron left. This restaurant definitely has a cool vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed its originality. After our meal we checked out the book shop which I thought was a novel addition to a restaurant. It was good to see how they incorporated elements to make it more eco-friendly, like the aquaponic garden and the septic tank toilet system. It just seems that it might get a bit cold in winter. Overall a great experience. We will definitely be coming back.

The place is lovely, authentic Karoo, quiet and easy and offer early morning meeting and breakfast options, so no need to work at home. Coffee and juices are nice. Service a bit slow, but friendly staff and attentive. I think my Chicken Panini was okay, only criticism is that my chicken tasted a bit funky, but thats to my liking. Otherwise great place, id try something else from the menu next time if I go again

Despite having spent a lot of time in the area over the years, we only visited the Karoo Cafe very recently the first time for brunch and were very impressed. The Klein Karoo breakfast, pumpkin fritters, and lamb pie were all excellent generous portions and fresh ingredients. Prices were reasonable and the service was also courteous, and we'd definitely be back.

Lot's of little shops, beautiful nursery and cozy restaurant with a book store and hand made furniture section, it really feels like your in the Karoo!
