Delightful eatery with seating outside under a big old English oak. Service was brisk and friendly. The cortado with condensed milk rate as one of the best coffees I have had. The pancake breakfast with scrambled egg, bacon, green pepper, cherry tomatoes and onion filling was simply divine!

The highlight was the orange shake !!! Food was tasteless, lacking decent seasoning. Suggest a change to the hash brown recipe …. They were terrible !!! And it didn’t end there either ….. the homemade oxtail pie, well it looked like they had taken some of the left over spaghetti and tossed it in with some meat that I’m pretty sure wasn’t oxtail. I read in other reviews especially about the hash browns that they would sort it out ! Clearly not ! If you stop here, stick to the drinks or rather just go somewhere else !!!

Worst meal I have had that i can remember. Awful oily chips, rubbish tiny piece of chicken schnitzel. And not cheap! Shame that the 'ok' waitresses have to serve very bad food. Please don't own a restaurant if you don't at least try. Terrible.

As a first-timer in Parys I was a little bewildered by the amount of coffee shops and stores to visit, and I was a little dismayed to find most eateries to be either packed to the brim or overpriced. Fortunately, we (family trip) stumbled upon "Die Koffiekan". There was ample space available for us, and the pricing and selection of food was definitely tantalizing. So we decided to stay and have lunch. In my photos uploaded with this review is the Lady's Breakfast (my order and it was really tasty and well-prepared), you will also see the Chicken Schnitzel with Chips and the last picture is the Vetkoek with curry mince. All the food we had I can report was really excellent and I will go as far as to say a visit to "Die Koffiekan" is definitely worth the drive from Johannesburg. The lady serving our table (table 6) was very patient, warmhearted and friendly with us and this just further enhanced our visit. Well done staff keep up the good food and service.
If you could eat the decor it would have been a good experience. However, the hashbrowns were soggy and oily. I did not even want to try the coffee as it is not brewed. You can only choose between instant and capsule coffee. Would not recommend at all.

Doing the street walk in Parys, the Koffiekan caught our eye.
Being a bit of a coffee enthusiast, went and checked their coffee machines. Typical bean to cup machines, not the best, but would do just fine.
Plenty of space, both large and small tables, a little terrace affair off to one side which the biker enthusiasts appeared to enjoy. Fair number of high end bikes parked in front i.e. not the lean an mean type.
They do have a liquor licence, did not verify if it covers all liquors, but did see beers and wine on the tables.
We only ordered drinks, Americano for myself, Latte and teas for the rest of the motley crew.
Service was a little slow but they were at their peak time window.
When the order arrived, everyone was satisfied, inclusive of my Americano, a fair creme, a little flat in flavour profile, otherwise not at all bad.
Will try make time for a meal next time. Did note that their menu does accommodate for Bantings and Vegans which we found to be pleasantly surprising.
Had just about the best milkshake to date. The waffles we had were excellent aswell. Peppermintcrisp for the win. Zander and his team really know what they are doing. 10/10 would visit again.

It is a fantastic experience. Every morning I have to get up to go to work, I'm rejoiced. The owners are great and the staff I work with are amazing. See you soon!
