Common Ground Cafe

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!

Best cupcakes. Awesome view of the common and the mountain. Lots of laughter and chatting. Friendly staff. I really recommend common ground for breakfast with friends as I've only ever had delicious food. For a long time my dad would meet other cyclists there after a ride and he's always had positive feedback too.

Delicious flat whites and an amazing eggs Benedict. Love it when a restaurant does soft poached eggs correctly! The view is lovely and it's a great breakfast spot. It's a bonus that it's close to Rondebosch Commons for a post Parkrun breakfast on a Saturday! Service was initially good and fast, but towards the end it felt like I was forgotten possibly because I was seated outside? Having said that, service was friendly throughout.

It was the second time visiting for breakfast. Really beautiful views over looking Rondebosch common and the mountains. The coffee and red cappuccinos (and all the hot beverages to be honest are really good! The food is really delicious and it really fulls you up! I would recommend the Bacon and egg crossiant (no picture I was too eager to dig in . And The farm style breakfast was generous and honestly the best baked beans I have ever tasted! The service was a bit slow for me, even though it was really quiet, but because of the laid back and relaxed atmosphere, it didn't bother us too much. Will be visiting again soon :
