Popped in for coffee and cake. Very much the off the beaten track vibe. Shares venue with Starkes craft brewery. The coffee shop part is a small part of the shed but rather nice. Coffee and carrot cake was very nice and the staff was friendly. I think Saturdays can get busy and viby, but today was nice and quiet,

Beautiful play area and setting for kids! It's enclosed and has everything you need to have a great time with busy little ones. Well maintained grass, swings, jungle gym, slide, sand pit with toys provided, trees for shade and picnic benches inside the actual play area which is nice. It was windy in Cape Town today but this area was quite well protected and pleasant. Deluxe coffee and carrot cake from The Dairy Shed is . It would be great if they could add more vegetarian options to their menu.

Authentic farm experience, with uniquely rustic and not yet commercialized approached that is true to it’s centuries old heritage. Awesome trails for any skill of mountainbiker but no trail running folks! Food is great and the coffee is usually fantastic. EDIT: NO DOGS ALLOWED!

Absolutely love the place. They make the Best home made carrot cake. Coffee is delicious. Some really good food and breakfast. Cycle on mtb routes towards the shop is absolutely rewarding if you have time. Recently they added a playpark for the kiddies if you wanna drive by car. Staff always friendly. Lots off mountainbikers visit shop for cooldown after riding some trails.

Some of the best coffee and carrot cake to be found. It's always a great place to stop for a quick refuel during a mountain bike ride at Conterman's kloof trails.

If you want a out of the city experience this is the place you are looking for. It is situated on Contermans Kloof farm and is mostly frequented by mountian bikers doing the routes there. (Which is awesome by the way) They have a beatiful play area for kids as well. Seeting is mostly outside so not great for bad weather days. Small but sufficient menu and I like the coffee as well.
