Yummy ice cream

Great place with sweet things! Staff is so friendly and kind too ♥️
Sandwiches could be healthier tho and less oil, but it’s just my taste

Best Vegan Food in Cape Town

I came here for an early lunch and to read my book. The staff were super friendly and helped me choose something(as a vegan, I am overwhelmed when there is so much to choose from on the menu 🤭).

It was a difficult choice but I went with the hash brown waffle with cauli bites which was incredible! Very filling, tasty and satisfying. 🤩
The iced coffee was delicious, too. I don’t know what coffee beans and mylk they use but they were both delicious and worked really well together 😋

Overall, I enjoyed sitting there and will definitely go back again to try some of their other menu items. Honestly, not much to complain about. I think this has been my best vegan food experience in Cape Town 😁

Pros: Tasty food and coffee, Friendly and helpful staff , Good portions and quality (and not too expensive)

Cons: Only opens at 11:00 (more of a brunch/lunch spot), Didn’t have any mocha or avo available 🥲, Food and coffee took a little while to prepare

My favourite place

I am the biggest fan of Grumpy & Runt. They have new flavours every week and they are ALWAYS amazing. Additionally to mouthwatering donuts, they also have delicious savoury options, such as sandwiches and bagels.

Pros: Delicious, Welcoming, Women-run

Nicht so lecker

Ich hatte breakfast waffle und die waren in altem Fett gebacken und haben leider sehr schlecht geschmeckt der Bagel war ok aber leider auch nicht gut. Keine Empfehlung

Vegan sweet heaven

This place is amazing. The range of donut flavours are incredible, the icecream flavours are so delicious and unique. The savoury waffles were okay, they were lacking some flavour but the presentation was amazing. The people working are super sweet and let me try all the icecream flavours. Its a new joint that i hope thrives because you can't get these amazing foods at an affordable price!

¡Grandes sabores, personal genial, increíble energía de café, la creatividad de este lugar es maravillosa! Por favor visite.

Pros: Range of flavours , Big donuts, Sweets heaven

Cons: Savoury waffles need more creativity

Exceeded sandwich expectations

Excellently sized delicious sandwiches! Loved the menu options, made it hard to pick what to have. Enjoyed the two donuts we had too. Really cute interior and exterior. Visited three times during our trip.

Cons: Ran out of water and then lettuce

Great spot for brunch

Absolutely fantastic, good portion sizes and great taste. They have a variety of doughnuts, of which the change the flavour on a weekly basis. The decor inside is light and fun, highly recommend.

Delicious food a little overpriced though

It was a life saver when looking for a shelter from the heat. I wasn't actually hungry but I really enjoyed the food and I'd definitely would like to try more of their paninis.
The portion was a little small for my taste, although perfect for me at that time.
Not 5* since I had to change my order several times, due to no availability of different items

Fav meal in Cape Town!

Everything from here was so fab!! Big time recommend. 😍😍 I had a bacon and egg bagel 😋 and topped it all off with some donuts! The bagel was super delish and the donuts were too (plus they are huge!). I hope I will get the chance to come back!

Amazing deli

Tried the reuben sandwich here as I haven't had one since I went vegan. Best sandwich I've had in my life, literally tasted like heaven. Donuts are pretty tasty too

Really cute little shop

Enjoyed the Reuben sandwich but really you come here for the donuts which are HUGE, and lovely and fluffy. Highly recommend the pecan brownie foldover.

One of our favorite places in the whole world

We left South Africa over a year ago, our eight year-old talks very little about the country he's grown up in but misses Grumpy & Runt's terribly! He misses the donuts and the soft-serve (full disclosure - me too), and my wife and I both miss the don't-eat-chicken-mayo sandwiches and the deli offerings.

Pros: Literally wonderful donuts, Fantastic vibe and people, Brilliant deli products

Fresh doughnuts that are really amazing. Also had a yummy scrambled tofu and seitan bacon sandwich. I can’t handle a ton of sugar so was glad they had some mini doughnut options too!

Delicious is an understatement

The quaint outdoor seating with the huge range of donuts are a must try and continue. Delicious warm drinks and lunch choices. The hardest thing about Grumpy and Runt is telling your eyes that they’re not as big as your stomach. #Veganuary

Pros: Great for lunch , Outdoor seating perfect for warm/hot weather , Incredible donuts! (The best in SA)

Cons: Only accepts card , Small seating are so not great for winter or rain, Often many orders, so the food can take a while
