Just What You Need in a Busy City

I’m on a mission to try everything on their menu. Apart from their colourful creative, delectable donuts, their menu items are truly wholesome. So far, I’ve had the Mushroom and Cheese and Cheese and Tomato sandwiches. I’m looking forward to trying the Cubano during the course of this week. And as usual, I grab a sweet treat while I wait for my order. I’d highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something safe and good to eat, worry-free, while on the grind at work.

Pros: Kindness of the staff, The tasty donuts, The fresh food

Cons: I’d appreciate the old donut special offer. , Perhaps have a birthday special offer for locals, Perhaps a combo special on a specific day.

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

Yum!

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

Updated from previous review on 2022-01-22

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

Best spot in Cape Town!

❤️ 9/10
📍 Cape Town City Centre, Cape Town (SA)
💵 ££

All vegan spot so a MUST TRY and they have sweet and savoury🤩🤩 They’re known for their donuts, but their sandwiches and bagels are also soo delicious

We had:
1. The reuben(esque) - pastrami style homemade deli meat, with cheese Russian dressing (vg mayo, soy sauce, mustard, Tabasco, tomato sauce) and sauerkraut
💚 woooow, fave part and must try this!!

2. Don’t-eat-chicken-mayo sourdough sandwich - roast chicken-style housemate seitan with mayo, and I added pickles


3. Chocolate and mint donut
💚 so much chocolate and loved a vg sweet option as rare to find! the top had an aero type chocolate bar which was delicious and need to find out how to buy these

4. Mini cinnamon donut
💚 delicious and a nice bite sized great

5. Oat milk flat white and oat milk iced latte
💚 only do oat milk here (@oatly ) and the coffee was absolutely delicious! best we have found in Cape Town so far

Hiiighly recommend trying if you’re in Cape Town, and they have a great menu of so many (all vg) options included vegan egg breakfast bagels

Savoury food is overlooked!

I had a vegan pistrami style sandwhich which was delicious.. the doughnut was perhaps a bit sweet for me, the chocolate glaze was not very rich in flavour. I think I also got there a bit late in the day so they were not as fresh, so I would visit earlier next time.
