<\/a>On Saturday I visited another restaurant in the Ideas Cartel Group, being Brunch Caf\u00e9 in Ideas Cartel House on 113 Loop Street.<\/p>\nBrunch Caf\u00e9 serves Breakfast all day, and little else, other than a cake of a day and a variety of beverages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ideas Cartel is a group offering coworking spaces in interesting buildings around the city and I found it hard to find the building in Loop Street from Wale Street, set back a little on the right hand side. \u00a0Brunch is in the Ground Floor, with the reception to the six-bedroom Cartel House Hotel on the third floor. Coworking spaces are available on the 7th and 8th floors, a school operates on the 5th floor, the Labour Court is on the 2nd floor, a company operates on the 4th floor, the hotel has a social lounge in the 10th floor, and the 11th floor has an outside entertainment area and pool.<\/p>\n I met Karen Moyle at Brunch Caf\u00e9 at lunch time, and we Other Breakfast dishes available include Eggs Benedict; Smashed avocado and feta and seeds on toast \u00a0(R95) ; Full English Breakfast (R145) ; Millionaire\u2019s Breakfast with truffle scramble, challah, and smoked salmon (R135); Croque Madame (R145); Health muffin (R55); Three-egg omelet (R45); Grilled cheese or chicken mayo sandwiches (R70 – R90); Gourmet beef burger with side salad (R130); chicken wrap and side salad or fries (R135); and BLT (R95).\u00a0Smoothies and Bowls are available too.<\/p>\n Karen told me that they offer a pay-and-weigh harvest table with a variety of salads on weekdays, popular with persons working in the city centre area. On weekends they offer buy one get one free Mimosas. A Soup & Sarmie Lunch Special is available daily at R65.<\/p>\n The Brunch Caf\u00e9 is on two levels, and tables can be used for workshops and coworking space, or to relax and have a drink and a bite to eat.<\/p>\n Brunch Caf\u00e9 is pet-friendly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brunch Caf\u00e9, Cartel House, 113 Loop Street, Cape Town. www.ideascartel.com \u00a0 Instagram : @brunch.ct Monday – Friday 7h30 – 16h00, Saturday and Sunday 9h00 – 14h00.

They are currently working on a new space in Claremont.<\/p>\n<\/a>decided to try the unusual (to me) Dutch Babies Breakfast, unusual in being served in a pan, with a pancake base, eggs of one\u2019s choice (poached for me), roasted tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, sausages and bacon. I ordered tea with the breakfast, happy to find Dilmah Earl Grey tea there. We finished off our lunch with a slice of delicious moist carrot cake <\/a>each.<\/p>\n
