June 17, 2022I was so excited and impressed to discover that there are vegan options available on the menu 💚 I had the most delicious frappe made with oat milk and the black bean patty was super yummy! I love the modern and relaxed atmosphere and that it's Furbaby friendly 😊 the service is excellent and the staff are so lovely and friendly. Jacob's Baai is lucky to have this hidden gem 🍃

October 13, 2021Bean and Leaf does it again. Tucked away in a quiet side street, just close enough to the beach to give you that holiday feel, but far enough from the hustle and bustle so you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast. I Iove this cozy restaurant. The music is gentle and never overpowers your conversation. The staff is helpful and the service excellent.This is my go-to for the most deliciously fragrant teas, cappuccino that's the exact right temperature and strength and flavorful, beautifully served food. This morning we had the Full breakfast and the Double up on rye. The full breakfast comes with the most delicious artisinal beef sausage I have ever eaten. Do yourself a favor and pop in. I can also highly recommend the waffles, savory and sweet as well as the burgers! I have previously indulged in their ice cream and it's dreamy, every bite! A bonus is that the menu accommodates vegetarians! It's really a little hidden gem that I want to expose today for all round excellence! Well done team! I will be back, again!
