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.

Excellent deli sandwiches, donuts, and soft serve

This place had everything I wanted, a good chunky sandwich that doesn’t skimp on the seitan and “cheese”, fluffy donuts, oat mylk soft serve with chocolate chip cookie topping and sprinkles, and more! The herbed muffin is a winner!

Everything was just so good. It is situated is a small quiet square with tables outside. This place has the whole package. Certainly worth making your way here just when in Cape Town.

Best vegan donuts

Delicious bagels, incredible cappuccinos & scrumptious donuts!! Five stars all around. I will definitely be returning to try everything on their menu because once is (un)fortunately not enough

So. Good.

Blown away. Damn. Tried like 5 different donuts. The chai and ginger donut was my personal favourite. Also had soft serve with this brownie/cookie combo, which was delicous. And sandwiches I can’t remember the names of that were also… delicious. Highly recommended.

The most amazing deli and donuts!

The cutest sandwich/bagel shop in a little garden square; had the no chicken baguette as a bagel, and also had a lemon drizzle donut which was unreal. Plenty of options, and also have gluten free I think. Also had a very strong oat milk iced coffee, one of my favourite Cape Town finds!

Pros: Completely vegan , Happy to customise menu options , New donut flavours ever week

omg the donuts!

we LOVE grumpy and runt. the sandwiches are so satisfying and the donuts are amazing. we usually order delivery but have been to the restaurant a couple of times. it's tiny in a quiet little square near downtown. the owners are lovely.

Pros: honestly the best donuts! so creative and yummy

Cons: wish they had more salads so i feel less guilty

Delicious donuts and sandwiches!

This place is amazing! It's a small little establishment in a cute outdoor plaza that not only serves as a restaurant/deli/bakery but also sells a few vegan pantry items/snacks as well. You can order your food to "eat in" or to go. The shop itself does have a tiny sitting area indoors, but there is some nice outdoor seating.

They regularly update their instagram with what donut flavors they have over the following few days, and they also have a nice-sized menu of sandwiches and things, although I haven't tried any except the scrambled tofu "runny egg" sandwich on sourdough, which I'm addicted to and get each time.

Those donuts, though? I have had some darn good vegan donuts throughout the world, but these are the BEST. I'm very sensitive to sugary/oily food so can't have decadent desserts all that often, but when I DO splurge, it's usually on Grumpy and Runt's donuts.

It's also worth noting that the location is great! It's roughly a 5 minute walk from the Company's Garden, which is surrounded by museums and attractions, and is near the bustling Long Street. If you are a tourist in the city, this is a great place to grab a late breakfast, brunch, lunch, or snack on a day that you are touring the city center. Regardless, if you find the seating areas full at Grumpy and Runt, you are a short walk away from some great picnic spots in the gardens!

Pros: AMAZING donuts and decent menu selection, Located in beautiful city center area, Friendly staff

Cons: Very limited indoor seating (roughly 2-3 people), Not the healthiest options if you are WFPB

Best donuts and sarmies!

Gosh I love this place so much! Their donuts are out of this world. And their sandwiches are super yummy. Obviously this isn’t the healthiest place - but when you feel like a treat this is 💯 worth the calories. This is a tiny store and there is only really room to sit outside. More of a take away place than dine in

Pros: All vegan, Best food and coffees, Well priced

Cons: Sandwiches are a bit oily , Small interior , Would be nice to expand so you can dine in
