I love finding places like this.
I’ve had it “bookmarked” for quite some time, but I hardly venture out to the Benoni area these days. Was looking for a breakfast spot nearby Northmead over the weekend as we were in the area and remembered this place. Located next to a church, it is a large space inside, with quirky details to it. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the cakes are eye catching. The Food and Drinks menu are up on the walls, and yes the menu is a bit limited. You need to order and pay at the counter for your order, which at the end of the meal it only dawned on me how do you give a tip? So unless you add it while ordering, which obviously I didn’t, there is a jar on the counter for tips, which is apparently split between all staff at the end of the day/week.
The food was delicious, I know with the breakfast options not everyone is a fan of balsamic on their food, but mine was ok, I had the “English muffin one” – 2 Fried Eggs, Bacon, Creamy sauce on an English Muffin. My egg was cooked right, enough Bacon on the muffin, and a tasty sauce. My mom had the “Small One” which is once slice of toast, one egg, bacon, and balsamic tomatoes. My Cappuccino was really good, and the presentation was soo pretty. Loved the cups and saucer used. My mom had the “Real” Strawberry Milkshake, and you could taste the flavour and the consistency was spot on. The cakes are baked daily, and they have a good variety. They had Carrot Cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Brownies, Scones, Cheesecakes which all looked delicious.
Prices are pretty reasonable, and the best part, as part of the Church they help support a home in the nearby area, by assisting young kids to learn and grow into adults, and teach them life skills. So this is definitely a place to support as much as you can, and it helps that the food is superb, the cakes are delectable and the staff are so warm and welcoming. Thanks Tozzy for great service with a smile.
If you in the area go check the out.

I can recommend Grassrootz whole heartedly! Great coffee - well presented. Relaxed atmosphere. The shortbread & crunchies are divine. Looking forward to trying some of the meals offered. They accomodate laptops and will be a perfect spot to sit & catch up on some emails. Keep it up guys!
Comfortable atmosphere with a retro/rustic vibe. Food is great and menu is filled with choices to suit all tastes. Location wise places it as one of the best cafes in the Benoni area.
