Brik Cafe - Parktown North

Situated inside an old fire station in Rosebank, Brik is not your typical cafe. It is quaint and inconspicuous when viewed from the outside. Inside it a minimalistic and practically furnished. The patrons, on the day I was there, ranged from students to older hipsters. The staff is friendly and efficient, but best of all they don't know hover over you while you socialise and eat. The menu is varied and well-thought-out, ranging from traditional to vegan. There are various merchandise and items on offer to buy. The food is great and tasty. The coffee is superb, prepared by a barista no less! Portions are medium size. Prices are mid-range to pricy, well worth it depending on your taste. Visit and decide for yourself, but leave the pretence on the pavement.

Interesting menue with tasty food, pity they ran out of lots of the menus items on a Sun morning. Not so good for a Sun breakfast if little is available. Focusing a bit more on vegan and vegetarian dishes which is great

The chickpea pancakes were definitely a hit! Also enjoyed some eggs and the coffee was excellent. Very cosy space with cute decor and a great vibe. Can’t wait to go back! They also stock Orbs!

The ex-chef from Naked Coffee is now running Brik Cafe. I love that everything is ethically and responsibly sourced. Leftovers are used as compost, plastic waste is used for eco-bricks, and water juice bottles are recycled into t-shirts and bags sold at the store. The menu is suited for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. I tried the chickpea pancakes with orange marmalade, fresh orange and almond frangipane, which was delicious. You're given a jug of water and glass before a menu. Love this spot. Worth a visit.

A lovely place to have a coffee and some tasty food. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable on the menu and helpful with suggestions. My favorite meal is the Brisket Vietnamese Roll and the short rib and pap!
