Reviews
It was very busy with long queues
This place doesn't even deserve a single star. If you forget to place your things at parcel counter when you get out of the store they will accuse you of shoplifting. 💀.
A security staff member this morning was not helpful.
The Glenwood area is littered with reckless Checkers delivery bikes zipping around ignoring traffic lights, stop streets, speed limits, and the safety of other motorists. Simply reckless. I have had enough, so will no longer shop anywhere near Davenport Centre. Nor will family and friends. Absolutely disgusting.
This place is probably the best coffee shop I've ever been to. I adore coffee and when I walked into this incredibly quirky artistic. The staff are incredible. Get there in the morning and smell the freshly baked pastries warm straight from the oven. Get there on a day where they're roasting it's loud but it smells divine. I have recommended this place to everyone I know who's gone over to South Africa. And I highly recommend it to you.
I think the vibe inside is the main goal of the place, like being allocated to another time in the middle of a crowded city like Cape Town. Food amazing if they get your order right,because for us after the 4th attempt was the right one. Also the prices not very affordable to anyone wanting to taste the extraordinary flavors of a proper coffee. Would say that having a moody waiter is not really nice,specially after you having a really long morning. But yes, overall is a really nice experience to come and sit for a very very nice coffee.
Great experience in truth coffee! Had heard many good reports from the locals about the coffee and food and had to give it a try while visiting Cape town. Service was exceptional as an order is placed on a tablet and then later brought you coffee or croissant. Friend had a small meal for breakfast and was also great.
I actually do not shop at checkers davenport as often as I would like because you can never just pop in and out...they've got something wrong, because there's always always always long queues. At the cake/bread counter you dont know where to stand to get served..it's sort-of separated, but if you stand at cake side, you will wait forever. Staff are slow and not friendly.
I am surprised at some of the comments...I wonder how they can say it smells fresh and clean. You actually have a cramped feeling in this shop and I certainly don't feel a fresh and clean atmosphere.

Opens at 9am while other stores are open at 7:30... No convenient at all
Store is alright, well stocked, 9/10 find what you want and then some. Improvement on the cashier's speed during peak times may add value to the experience. Deli services and quality also need improvement.
What a unique coffee shop. If you’re looking for a truly steam punk-inspired environment, look no further than Truth. This establishment has great coffee and options to enjoy with your beverage of choice, but it really is the environment itself that makes this trip worth it. Even the servers’ attire makes you feel all the more immersed in the environment, as if this place were a coffee shop you might find somewhere in Disneyland.
I've always wanted to visit this coffee shop and today was the day we visited this coffee shop and oh boy what a treat the atmosphere is amazing the decor is amazing the staff is absolutely amazing and so friendly and helpful and then there is the coffee and oh boy so many options to choose from and its amazing one coffee is definitely not enough with a visit 😋 the food is so fresh and very tasty we had the beef burger meal and it was Amazing !!!
We got some treats for dessert, and they have a wide variety to choose from, like chocolate brownie and carrot cake and even a vegan friendly desert called chocolate orange tart, we enjoyed the Lemon Meringue and Chocolate Brownie and a Caramel desert and it was a treat.
The menu is so cool, and once again, i must just mention the vibe is amazing as you can sit inside or outside depending on your mood =)
There is also a parking bay just across the road from Truth Coffee ☕️
Highly recommend 👌

12 years now i doing this job tiling and painting, carpenter, shower floors,waterproofing is well. Guys to be patient is important for you in life.
The service was amazing they guys even washed my car! Thanks to the Lady Slie who made sure that i was in good hands
Good service and it's always clean
What an experience. I come here regularly when I visit Cape Town. Absolutely worth every cent. Amazing steam pump style decor and friendly staff. High quality food and the best coffee you’ll ever taste in South Africa. Unisex restrooms, work stations an communal tables where you can meet people from around the globe. Don’t wait, this is your first stop when arriving in Cape Town.
Such a nice place to buy food and do shopping
I wish I could provide names but I don't want to get people fired as we're facing so much problems in our country's economy but management please step in. Your team needs training when in it comes to customer service. You can even send them to Gingindlovu Shoprite or even your branch across the road so they can see how it's done! Kubi
I used to work there when it was still safe.
Had a delightful experience at this highly recommended spot with a fantastic atmosphere and outstanding coffee + local breakfast. Although the service was slightly lacking due to a busy rush, it's understandable given the number of customers. Just exercise a little patience and you'll be rewarded with a table and a cup of deliciousness. Worth the wait!
It's ok it's not s posh shopping mall but you can shop there Shoprite has what you need and then there is Pep and Ackermans the bank machines so it's better than it use to be there is more to the centre now . I'm grateful because Newlands east does not have much .
Wverything is easy compared to the other shoprites in the CBD . Lines move faster . Service is better
Amazing coffees, amazing decor, great vibe, even early in the morning. They really do breakfast well. Fresh avo, perfectly cooked eggs, farm style breads and most importantly the bacon here is ridiculously good. I will definitely be going back here to try more on their menu. Very generous servings and really good service.
But cashier are slow it as if they don't wanna work
Its gd customer care but only always full
You check opening times on Google maps and it says "confirmed by this business 4 days ago". The opening times are 8am but you get there at 8h15 to find not even the mall doors are open! Really inconvenient, I don't know if this is false advertising because had I known that you open at a later time than 8am, I would have gone somewhere else. I now have to go and suggest opening times on Google for Shoprite, 4 days after the owner confirmed the incorrect opening times!
Management don't follow up with complaints they just don't care about the customer experience.
Announcements over the PA system is so loud its totally disrespectful to customers. When I say loud..... it's LOUD! Managers say they'll look into it but never do.
Service and attitude at the Lotto counter is shocking- again all complaints to management are ignored.
All in all the Checkers promise for quality service does not exist.

Their cold cuts fridge is so warm it's basically room temperature and you can see the food start to get that brown hard outer part around the edges. Not appetizing at all. The staff are great though so they get 2 stars for good staff.
Queues unnecessarily long. Layout and service shows lack of thought. Checkers Newlands city has system limitations rather than human issues.
It has improved. Obviously new management, as the cashiers are friendly, and the queues are quicker. Plus their wine shop is brilliant! Who would have thought you could buy wine from Italy? Its a good shopping experience! The rest of Checkers should use this place as a model!
Convenient operating hours, availability of most common household items.
The store is never fully packed, which makes it easier to shop.
Till point system it to slow,you waited to long on till point.
Store was neat, staff are helpful and managed to find a till without a long que
Shoprite west street always my favorite place whenever I need a cool drink or a chip staff to merchandising is tops never seize to amaze me veggies n fruit always fresh n reasonable..thank you
There are two Shoprites facing each other on this road. The staff working there and the managers should be fired because they put dirt on bread worth R5.
The shop is very clean.

Pathetic service from a gent at the till about midday today. He was not interested and and did not ring up our purchases on the till. Difficult to see a business survive with this kind of employee.
Good shop with quality food they have is the best.They have reasonable prices when it comes to their product and they have good food and so on they have good services when it comes to Tellers who have that customer service and they are best on what they doing in shop
Fresh pies and taste 😋 good
Shoprite is the worst retail store 😡😡😡 I had Bad experience in two Different Stores , The one in Pinetown and Last week in this Shop I bought mince meat, it was off , beef was rotten , and Pork was worse it even had greenish Colour. When you look in the fridges their meat looks fresh on the Top , when you get home ,all the meat underneath if rotten, It like they don't throw rotten stock 😡😡😡😡
Good stuff
The cashier at the till denied me right to use the stamps just because there was a looting that took place simetime ago. I was so embarased and I had to leave my trolley that was filled with items as I had no money and I thought I will use these stamps that I had saved up to pay for my items. The manager also failed to assist as she said they wont be able to help because they are unable to verify whether these stamps where looted or not. I had to leave without my groceries and at a vulnerable state as well... THANK YOU SHOPPRITE BRICKHILL FOR THE POOR SERVICE...
The store has lost its sense of customer service. It used to be one of the busiest and best SHOPRITES in Durban but I.have saw ok customer service skills from staff.
Bakery goods are simply revolting as had been here after a good few years and purchased from their bakery and the items were of a very poor quality. Definitely needs a lot of change in terms of service and presentation.

Last visit was on the 4th of November. It wasn't so crowded. But the service was entirely poor. You can actually stand in the line for about an hour. The thing is they're too slow, they scan one item then talk to the other colleague. It's frustrating. The other thing is when the colleague comes with an item, asks the cashier to get it scanned so she can pay while the cashier is assisting me. Who does that? Everything should be about putting the customer's needs before yours. I really wish their Manager could look into this.
Big ups to Money market team and Management for helping me sort my issue. Very helpful and professional. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
I swear the consumer service at this store is appalling. I approached the front end controller by the name Sabelo or Sanele Ntuli at the kiosk to give me a sachet of Citro soda and he explicitly told me to open my eyes and look for it at the cosmetics section of the store despite having looked here first. I'm beyond disappointed in the kind of consumer service given to black consumers in this particular store. He was bold enough to continue his conversation with his colleagues instead of attending to the reason he has a job in the first place - a paying consumer
Don't let the area fool you, this is the heartbeat of heritage and the peoples love this spot. Tea coffee must have pastries and cakes, all skilfully baked and decorated. Whether you in a rush or ordering for an office function or house party this is the place to be. Freshness guaranteed, delicious and makes you want more... #cakes
I like to shop at shoprite cause they have everything you need including cash at till point
Smallish shoprite. Not the cleanest or tidiest. Service is okay. Really wouldn't recommend unless there's nowhere else to go.
Excellent service
