Beautiful little gem in the heart of Waterkloof - a plant lover's dream! The food could have been tastier, but overall a very good experience. This would be a stunning venue for a kitchen tea or baby shower

It's a beautiful little garden cafe tucked in a safe residential area. Get yourself a tasty scone with jam and butter, white hot chocolate, or a cup of cappuccino. The best scone in town, I say. I loved the fact that they keep putting roses on the tables... Feeling romantic all day

This place is amazing! Had a birthday feast! If you love nature and or artistic, Visit! The rain just added to the beauty of the place. When you walk in it's a garden pathway. Some tables are hidden within nature for those quiet intimate moments or you can choose a normal setup more in the open. You can purchase artwork, house decor and food to eat. I enjoyed the pulled sweet n sour pork on ciabatta with green salad finished with a yummy dessert, cheesecake! Definitely needs more than one visit!

This morning was our 1st time visiting Alice in Waterkloof. Firstly they are pet friendly!!! It is a quint little place with lots of greenery around beautifully decorated. The breakfast and chocolate cake we had was good. Would like to see more exciting cakes on the menu. Great cappucino's with excellent service. We will visit more often. You must visit this lovely little gem in Pretoria.

Small cafe in Waterkloof. There are seats in green. When we went there, we hadn’t made a reservation, but I think it’s better to make a booking in advance. In spring, you can also enjoy seeing jacaranda flowers outside of the cafe.
