This cafe is legendary for its cheesecake, and for good reason. It's a cozy, rustic spot that feels like a home away from home. Most visitors are blown away by the variety of cakes and the friendly, country-style service. There have been some grumbles about service speed and occasional quality control issues, but for most, it's a must-visit stop on the Garden Route.
