Ou Meul Bakery And Cafe Melkbos

Always get the fantastic service and meals never disappoint.

We visited this restaurant three times for breakfast and brunch between December 20, 2017, and January 7. On other days, we also enjoyed their croissants and shopped at the well-stocked gift and produce store. In my opinion, this place is just what Pinelands needed. The food was delicious and consistently served promptly. The staff was friendly and attentive at all times, especially Mickey and the owner/manager, Reinhardt. Our 15-year-old daughter summed it up perfectly: "I love the food, the vibe, and the uniforms!"

I happened to be driving by and decided to stop in at this new spot in Simondium near Franschhoek. I'm so glad I did! The jaffels and toasted sandwiches were fantastic, and the baked goods were delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly too. And those milkshakes… WOW! I highly recommend the pecan nut pie milkshake!

I absolutely love this place! The service is quick, and the food is amazing! The aroma of freshly baked goods feels so inviting. I enjoyed the bread so much that I even took a loaf home with me.
