The Cape in South Bucks

Passing through I was looking for good coffee and good brunch food - this ticked all the boxes, really well cooked food from a very tempting menu and all served with a smile

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly helpful staff! I often come for brunch and/or coffee but have also had takeaway salads from here and they couldn’t be more flavoursome!

Dropped in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed. Very nice.

As expats, this was a recommendation, and all I can say is.... WOW! This was quite possibly the best breakfast I've ever had! The service, the staff and cafe/restaurant was bang on. Staff knew the menu well, so recommendations was easy (and nostalgic). A must if you're in the area, and if opportunity presents itself, we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely outstanding. Wonderful food freshly prepared from exquisite produce. The service is also top-notch. Thank you for a fabulous dining experience.

Met up with my oldest friend. Something we rarely get to do so it was important to find a nice place to meet. Glad I made a reservation as it is very popular. Food was perfect, service was great and a nice ambience. Had a lovely time. We recommend The Cape.

We waited too long for two cappuccinos. The drinks were extremely hot, so the the milk tasted bad.

Great food and service..... been going here for a few years now and never dissapointed, although I do order the same thing (The Mandela) everytime I visit!

Such a great place Pippa & her team are just the best Food is fresh,you can see that they use quality ingredients Knicks spots off anything else for miles around.It’s our go to place whenever we visit Beaconsfield, the best coffee ever . Advisable to book to avoid disappointment

I ordered a large salad for an external event (chargrilled veg with feta) and the Cape did a fantastic job. It was easy to order and was very delicious. Also, great breakfast - the seeded bread is delicious!

Was surprisingly busy for a weekday, we didn’t have a reservation and were told multiple times we could only have the table for an hour, which was fine until it took 35 mins from sitting down to our meal arriving. The staff were all very friendly but the food was nothing special. I had the vegan triple-decker sandwich which was very messy to eat and was underseasoned. They have a lot of options so perhaps a reduced menu would allow them to do fewer things better. The salad bar looks good. I wasn’t a fan of the decor, it felt confused and incoherent.

Lovely decor/interior which makes a cozy atmosphere. Such high quality foods and very appetizing. Have been several times and would definitely return in the future. Can get very busy - so I would recommend booking a table in advance (if on busy days - like the weekends)

I came here for lunch with my colleagues and other than the cold breeze when the door opened (we were put on the only free big table at the front), I couldn't fault it. The food was amazing, and the service was quick and friendly. It's Beaconsfield, so it's an expensive lunch out, but it's worth it due to the quality of the food

Tastes good but it should do for the price. By the way.. what sort of restaurant fails to mention it's prices on its own menu? Sus and fishy. Beware

The Cape is brilliant. We have breakfast there once a week with our toddler. They are always accommodating, even when it’s busy and we don’t have a booking. Our toddler, who has been going there since he was 1 week old, loves his full English breakfast! Delicious food, great atmosphere, great for families.

I visited at the weekend with my two young daughters and even though we hadn’t booked, they managed to find us a table despite the fact it was really busy. It was a very friendly atmosphere and the food was exemplary. My girls were very well attended to by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. At the end of the meal, our favourite part was choosing from a wide selection of home-made cakes and deserts which tasted truly delicious. I will certainly be visiting again.

Tried twice to come into this cafe. As a lone customer, I know this is difficult for cafes. However on both occasions I have been met with the same phrase , ' bear with me I need to clear some tables'. I am working so time is of the essence. Sorry, I won't be trying a third time.

Refused visit with a Pram! After visiting The Cape for over 2 years without a child the visits were acceptable. With a visit today 04/11/23 they have refused us, didn’t ask for our booking, they just just no sorry not with a pram. Disgusting behaviour.

I've been waiting a long time for the Cape to offer dinner and was so happy to get the email to say they were hosting first Saturdays of the month for the next 3 months. I've been going to the Cape for a few years now and absolutely recommend them, so this occasion was even better than I could have expected. The team running the restaurant are really friendly and welcoming. The Chef is a magician, the food we were served was amazing, the starters, the main and the desert were exceptional. I like the fact that the Cape serves lager the local brewers (Rebellion brewery) nice touch!! If you can get a table please try the goat curry with yellow rice it sensational, this is now my go to meal, i'm gutted that I can get to go back in November as they are fully booked, but I have a reservation for December and cant wait. See you soon Cape.

Great food with good and fast service. What more can you ask for from a cafe? Perfect for a quick pick me up. I would recommend this place for lunch, tea and coffee.

Dropped in for coffee and cake about half an hour before it closed. Good coffee and choice of cake, nice atmosphere, friendly efficient service.

Very beautiful place With style High quality food We had the cesar sandwich And the breakfast with potatoes Rostie salmon avocado poached eggs Delicious The teas are loose leafs. All served in nice pots My husband had the chocolate pastry cake... amazing... try it if available You won't regret it We also bought their home made cape bread to take home. Very very good bread They make it fresh every day 😊😊😊😊🥳

Hidden gem ! Great fresh food. Had the all day breakfast scrambled eggs! Such great flavors. The service was great. And the hot sauce they gave was just superb. Got a bottle to take home as well. Had the chocolate brioche and now I’m not any other chick ate brioche other than that one. Haha

Visited with a friend. We had not booked, but did not have to wait long for a table. Food good, staff friendly and efficient

Popped in for a quick family lunch. Amazing food, lovely busy cafe but the reason I have given a negative star rating is the one particular staff member - the lady who greeted us, had a very rude attitude - not sure if it was towards us in particular or if she had a bad day. I gave her the benefit of the doubt until we had asked for the bill - and she flung the bill at our table, leaving us all very startled! So, I’m not very sure if I will be going back again as it’s left a bad taste.

We have been here twice for lunch now. It is a little haven! Such a relaxed atmosphere but great service, friendly people and delicious food. Highly recommend.

What a find! Best breakfast I’ve had in ages. Amazing food & service and super clean. Great attention to detail. Wonderful

The best toasted sandwich I have ever eaten. Great service and good value.

Great breakfast,amazing staff will definitely be back

We only had a quick cappuccino here but it was the best we have had. The food serviced to other diners looked and smelt beautiful. The staff were very friendly.

Lovely fresh food - the salads in particular are super. Attentive service. Lots of happy customers!

Very nice food and lovely lady serving the food. Highly recommend.

Our favourite place for breakfast 🍳 Amazing service and delicious food. The best eggs Benedict 🤤

This was our second visit to this lovely eaterie, and what a find !! Amazing food at very competitive prices, and as it was busy and the food was slow(ish) to arrive, we were offered free coffees, which stretched to delicious brownies. Friendly service and a very warm atmosphere Have just booked to take our son and family in a couple weeks, to introduce them to this hidden gem

Very good. Just popped in for coffee and cake, good choice, great quality and good value. Menu looked exciting, clearly popular as lots of tables reserved for lunch.

Jane was our waitress and she made my whole dining experience wonderful - the food was excellent, highly recommend the opens chicken sandwich.. If oyu like coriander!!

I came here with a friend on their recommendation as they attend regular with being local to the area & it did not disappoint. The place is quirky, quaint and delicious! I had the Mandela which was gorgeous. Cooked beautiful, tasted amazing and great portion size. My friend had the farmers breakfast which she insisted was delicious - the fried banana was a nice quirky touch. Also, it was worth noting the coffee here was gorgeous! We had booked ahead as it was a Sunday brunch time and, as you’d expect with a gorgeous place, it was busy. Highly recommend & can’t wait to return!

What an amazing place to sit and relax having a wonderful South African meal.

Overall the food was nice. We had salads and the only gripe was the waiting time. We accepted this as the location was busy but the server wasn’t overly helpful with the menu as my partner was gluten free but overall the atmosphere is nice and food tasty although the menu hasn’t changed in quite a few years and it would be nice to see a few new options on the list.

Staff always so friendly. Would recommend!

The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good, only 1 problem, I realise The Cape isn't a bar, but with it's self prclaimed South African roots it should have at least 1 South African beer. But other than that it was an enjoyable meal. We will go back again

Whilst visiting the Beaconsfield area we went to The Cape for breakfast which was delicious. The service was excellent and there was a lovely atmosphere in the cafe. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Delightful hidden gem just 5 mins from the motorway. We will be making a return next time we travel down to Henley from Suffolk!! Service was amazing and the food was delicious.

Phenomenal quality and great service - consistently good and we have been eating at The Cape for 2 years!

Very good customer service and great tasting food

Our favourite Beaconsfield brunch spot. Always great delicious & unique dishes with a South African nudge. We’ve been everywhere within 20 miles and the Cape is definitely number one. (And such a lovely team).

Absolutely lovely place, reliably good on every level. I frequently visit despite the many alternatives. This is the best.

A little gem in Beaconsfield. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food & coffee delicious.

Only visit when in the eaconsfield area always a good breakfast and a warm welcome, clean pleasant surroudings nice greeting good customer service highly recommended with a taste of South Africa

We often go to The Cape but our latest visit was the best ever. The new owner has made this place a gem. It is clean, it is relaxed and it is welcoming. Well worth many visits. Well done to all the staff

Absolutely lovely spot to eat. Lovely warm welcome. Great and interesting menu and the food is really tasty! Will be back

Good quality fresh food, we really enjoyed our visit for Sunday brunch. It was quite busy but the staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely return.

Had a fabulous slap up classic English breakfast. Top class. I bought their traditional bread and will soon be back

We are local and come often to the Cape. The food is all absolutely delicious; unusual options, fresh, tasty and generous portions - I’ve never eaten anything I didn’t love here! We often turn up without a booking, with our baby and a buggy and the friendly staff always greet us warmly and find us a table. It’s definitely one of our favourites. Top recommends would be the prawn open sandwich and the Mandela…. So yummy!

Excellent brunch. Fresh ingredients, freshly cooked. Friendly efficient service. Thoroughly recommended.

We have been disappointed at the Beaconsfield Costa and the Beech House is nice but the cups are small. We haven't been in here for years, so pleased it was nice and all worked well.

Popped in here today after a Model Village visit, nice lunch, but I did feel it was slightly overpriced. However I would go again.

Very popular cafe, great coffee and delicious cake 😃 attentive and friendly service

Always good for coffee / breakfast / lunch / cake.

First visit to The Cape, for a breakfast with the family. Lovely cozy atmosphere. Good menu choices. Portion sizes OK. Good friendly service. Nothing not to like really in respect of the important stuff. Just one small niggle that in a way was ‘funny’ more than a niggle, but could easily wind some customers up. The young lady taking payment seemed to have an issue with numbers. I asked her to round the bill up to cover a (quite generous) tip but it took several attempts for her to understand a simple “Round it up to £xx” instruction. I’ve never found it so difficult to pay a tip 🤦‍♂️ Despite that, definitely worth another visit

Best breakfast in the area. Great eggs, sensational bacon. Staff are excellent . Our first this morning, already looking forward to our next

Every time we visit Beaconsfield we think of The Cape. The food is excellent and the staff friendly - our favourites are Malay (prawn salad) and South Easter (chicken noodle salad). They look and taste amazing! Booking advised!

We stumbled across this cafe while visiting Beaconsfield and the food was amazing, the French toast was as good as the ones you get in Canada. The service was top notch even though it was a busy restaurant. Highly recommend

Delicious food, great friendly service.

Been going to The Cape for some time and can always rely on a warm welcome coupled with the best breakfast and lunch B’field has to offer. There are a couple of reviews here ( A complaint when a member of staff politely asked if a Mother encouraging her child to scream with delight, to be mindful of other guests, I was one of them ) or a tirade from ‘The Head of Sales’ ( bet he’s fun at dinner parties) bemoaning the lack of free WiFi. My advice to them is please, please go somewhere else. For the rest of us locals we’re happy to return again and again, oh and book at weekends,it gets very popular…for a reason!

Not very friendly for children! Have been without children and liked it, however please don’t bring your children here unless they are perfectly behaved. My son is 3, and was super excited to be going for breakfast with mummy on a weekday. He was sitting down in his seat, but was talking loudly and giggling. There was only one other table occupied (2 guests) in the entire place as it was so early in the morning, but the waitress still came and asked us to keep it down. So my advice would he don’t go unless you can keep the children quiet. PS have been many times to Fego and the Beech house with my children and have never felt anything but welcome, even if they are not always super quiet.

Excellent food, fantastic coffee and a lovely welcoming atmosphere from the delightful staff. It’s always a pleasure to visit the Cape (definitely worth trying the Elgin for breakfast/brunch too - the rosti is incredible).

The Cape today was fab, great food and company 😀

Very average coffee, but ok place. Wouldn't go again unfortunately.

We went here for lunch on Wednesday, the food was amazing, super fast and friendly service - would definitely return next time we visit Beaconsfield :)

Had a lovely breakfast at Cape - The Big 5 Lovely atmosphere very friendly staff….. will definitely go again.

We went for afternoon tea for a hen do, it was fabulous! The staff were friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and they offered a fabulous non gluten containing option for 2 of our party. It is well...

We had lunch with relatives and we were all really impresses. The food was excellent, service was friendly and efficient. The menu was quite varied with a mix of foods, obviously including African dishes which was a pleasant change for us. The cost seemed quite reasonable so all in all a very pleasant experience. We would definitely go again.

Do not visit often enough, a great breakfast great service, when we went in the Manager / Owner was on the phone but still acknowledged us as we walked, in the service prompt and served with a smile, great menu, open all day left vey...

Just wonderful, so cosy friendly, sitting in a nice sofa cornr enjoying a fabulous lunch. Great coffees, teas, cakes, sandwiches....I LOVE this place. Waitresses adorable, been there a long time, knows their guests. England as its best.

Nice place. Service is a bit slow and breakfast portions a bit small (at least for me!) Given this was their premium breakfast. A hash brown or fried bread would have been good. But nice all the same and reasonably priced.

Enjoyed a delicious family brunch at The Cape on a Sunday. The restaurant was busy but we were lucky enough to get a table as walk ins. Good quality produce, home made touch, fresh coffee and juices, great and friendly service. 5 stars all round

Superb food,superb service, what more needs to be said.

A sudden downpour and we were looking for somewhere to shelter. Popped in for a coffee but looked at the menu and couldn't resist. A very good selection. Food and service very good.

We visited The Cape hungry from a walk in the Bekonscot Model Village. Great tasty food and lovely ambiance! A gem!

We went to The Cape for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. They catered for my coeliac daughter, bringing the chef to the table so I could speak to them and were very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Lots of choice and the food...

Great Fresh Food… lovely service and great selection of home made and fresh food, will definitely visit again. Great to see The Vape open again

Great service and lovely fresh food

Popped in for a takeaway coffee. Very tasty and the server was very friendly and professional. Looking forward to visiting for a sit-in meal in the near future.

Best Breakfast & Coffee I've had ever & I am really picky about my food & especially my Coffee. Staff we're attentive & lovely Highly Recommend the French Toast with Berries, Yoghurt & The Farmers Breakfast Poached eggs were bang on money!

Just had an amazing meal here. Quiche with a choice of 3 salads which were all delicious. Hubby had the full English Breakfast which was fresh and delicious. Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Definitely highly recommend a visit.

Popped in on the off chance for a snack/lunch . We had our dog with us and my wife and I were welcomed as was the dog. They cater for our four legged friends in the front of the cafe We ordered two toasted sandwiches...

Just had a great breakfast, the bread was so good we bought a loaf to take home and staff are fantastic, definitely recommend this place.

Definitely the breakfast heart of Beaconsfield!

Hubby and I had a post lock down date lunch yesterday . Beautiful food and lovely staff highly recommend going to this Resturant

We bought the Valentines Dinner for 2 as a take out. The whole meal (starter/main/dessert) was exceptional and at a very reasonable price. In these very difficult days, Pippa and her team did a superb job in providing a lovely spread for enjoyment at home....

Beautiful cafe .. stylish decor takes you away from it all. More vegan options please, like vegetarian sausages with vegetarian breakfast..etc then it would be 5 out 5!! Also vegan without eggs!! Thanks!

Had brunch with a friend here on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was lovely, ambience warm and welcoming and the staff friendly and helpful. All social distancing carefully observed.

Lovely place, great Ruben sandwich, and coffee ...took home some carrot cake and vegan chocolate and cocont cake too...which was delicious.😋

The Cape is a lovely cafe serving very nice food. The staff are very polite and welcoming. The reason for the low rating is because the place was packed with tables very close so social distancing was impossible. We had booked a table of four,...

Just a coffee and a bacon sandwich, but clearly a cut above a lot of other places. Really intriguing decor, some tasteful/some amusing. Lovely staff.

My sister and I pooped in for a quick lunch 🥗 today . Lovely helpful staff and delicious food highly recommend.
