Lazari

Quaint little gem a few meters away from Gardens Centre. The food is delicious (very copious... I couldn't finish it, but enjoyed it later at home!) Great service, friendly waitress and owners. The decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The coffee was great too. I'll come back, that's for sure!

Lazari – A little café with a big heart Lazari is one of those places that makes you feel instantly welcome – whether you're a local or just passing by. This morning, I met my sportgrouo friends there for a wholesome vegan breakfast: gluten-free Bircher muesli with dry coconut, blueberries and apples, a fresh carrot juice, a fiery ginger shot, and a warm, comforting cup of mesquite – now my favourite caffeine-free café-style drink. Usually, I’m not vegan, but with a retreat coming up tomorrow, I wanted to skip animal products – and this breakfast was just perfect to feel light and a little detoxed. And I normally don’t like almond milk, but here it was surprisingly delicious – smooth and satisfying. With its mix of small, cosy tables and larger ones for lively gatherings, Lazari offers space for connection and calm alike. And at the heart of it all is Linda, Michelle and her team who brings soul and sparkle to this beloved neighbourhood spot. I’ll definitely be back – to savour more flavours, support this sweet buzzing hub, and soak in the friendly, feel-good vibe.

People use the term "gem" so often, but I have to say that those using the term for Lazari are absolutely spot on! Everything good thing I'd read is true. As a solo diner, the welcome I get is a big factor, and at Lazari it was so warm and friendly, and the experience stayed that way throughout. Love the cosy setup, the decor, the view, and of course the excellent coffee (served hot, yay!) and delicious food. I had the Vegan Shashuka (I'm not vegan, I just don't eat eggs I can see) and it was a big skillet of warm, comforting, hearty deliciousness. What a happy all-round experience!

What a gem of a spot. The best coffee, delicious breakfast, friendly neighborly atmosphere- where everyone knows your name vibe. The owner is always there, and my waiter Jock was super friendly and efficient. Def will be back

Went with best friend for a lunch date. What a lovely cafe!!!!! Great atmosphere, beautiful view of the mountains and nice food. Cute interior and design, very aesthetic. Lovely experience overall, do stop by for a coffee break if you in the area. See you next time. J

I live very close to Lazari, I walk or drive passed every single day, I recently went in to see the buzz, and wow!!! From the lamb burger I went specifically in for. The Rosetta coffee (at an amazing price), I am a coffee snob (perfect cup). The staff are so caring and helpful, and make the time with them memorable. Brilliant!!!

As a local who frequents Lazari Cafe, I can't recommend this gem enough! This small family-owned spot in Vredehoek has become my go-to for its warm, bright atmosphere and consistently excellent food. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a meal, the quality and care really shine through. A true neighborhood treasure that deserves all the support!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​! Legends

The perfect coffee shop for working, having meetings or catching up with friends! Coffee is always made to my liking and their iconic vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing is my favourite. Service is always friendly, great stop if you find yourself in Gardens/Vredehoek/Oranjezicht.
