Unusual, well-presented delicious food & coffee.... We met friends for brunch, I had the french toast -banana bread drizzled with salted caramel (which was not overly sweet). The eggs benedict & the Vietnamese ban mi sandwiches were great as well.read more

A nice private spot to relax. The atmosphere is... very welcoming. I highly recommend the mushroom on toast with an extra portion of bacon. The cheddar cheese toast was definitely a no for me. The drinks are a bit overpriced too but the scrumptious poached eggs would definitely have me coming back again.read more

This is a proper hidden gem in Durban.
A true to... the word Cafe.
The food is wholesome and well crafted by the chef. He puts together flavours very well.
The hot chocolate uses chocolate discs rather than powder, which gives it such good flavour!
This is not exactly a budget restaurant, but the food here is top quality.read more

I have always enjoyed Parc Cafe however this... morning was different. The service was lacking although they were not that busy, food was good but the outside area was extremely dirty. No effort had been made to clean there and the smell from all the litter lying around was awful. We chose to sit outside because we had our fur baby with us. All in all, this was not a pleasant way to spend a morning.read more

I came to the place looking forward to the great... experience I hear about but the waiters made me stand for a long time claiming to be finding me a table. They then carried on with whatever thy were doing and totally ignored me. After 15 awkward minutes I told them I was leaving. That didn't seem to bother them either. Please train your staff to treat everyone the same.read more

Good food, good service, good atmosphere, okay... location.
This is a street cafe with a little "alternative culture" feel about it. It's great to go here for Sunday morning breakfast!
Their menu leans a little towards the vegan and vegetarian vibe, but there are meals that cater for meat eaters too. As a meat eater I feel like some of their meat dishes could do with a little more flesh, but having said that, the quality of the greens that make up the rest of the meal is exceptional and delicious. Also... there are some five start gems on their menu - their banana bread meal (which changes weekly) is easily worth selling body parts for!read more

Best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Always busy.... Seating is a bit cramped and because it is busy often you may have to sit outside (great on a warm day, not so great on a cold day). They dont have menus at the table...the menu is written on the wall as it is constantly updated. They use fresh bread from the bakery next door (Glenwood Bakery) and have great service.read more
