Very few places left in Durban where you can enjoy a good breakfast with generous portions. Amazing specials , and probably the best decaf cappuccino I've tasted. Very friendly service from the Manager Daniel. Highly recommend Cafe B(Breve). A couple for breakfast can enjoy a hearty meal for under R150.

I love the friendly owners and this restaurant and the care and attention they give to each customer. The food is delicious and they have so many specials - my favourite one is the R60 for two breakfasts! I don’t know how long that is going to last but it was what attracted me here in the first place and now I found out how much more they have.

Hospitalable, family business with tasty, homemade food and insanely, affordable pricing. I will support a family business over a conglomerate, everytime. May they flourish and maintain their standard. Everything is made with copious amounts of love and an enthusiastic spirit.
