What people say
Rumi Cafe, located in Central Square, Cape Town, has received mixed reviews from various sources. According to a recent article in the Cape Times, the café offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The reviewer particularly enjoyed the vegetarian options on the menu and praised the friendly service. However, a review in Eat Out magazine was less enthusiastic, stating that while the food was decent, it was not exceptional enough to justify the high prices.
Online reviews of Rumi Cafe are similarly mixed. On TripAdvisor, some customers have raved about their experiences at the café, with one user describing it as "a hidden gem" and another calling it "the best café in Cape Town". Others have been less impressed, with complaints ranging from slow service to underwhelming food.
One customer who left a review on Zomato praised Rumi Cafe for its "fantastic coffee" and "great vibe", but noted that it can get quite busy during peak hours. Another reviewer on Google Maps commented that they had a "lovely breakfast" at Rumi Cafe but found the prices to be slightly steep.
Overall, it seems that Rumi Cafe is a popular spot for those looking for a cozy atmosphere and good coffee. However, opinions on the food and prices are more divided. As one TripAdvisor user put it: "Rumi Café is definitely worth checking out if you're in Cape Town - just don't expect perfection."
Some customer comments published online include:

- "The vibe here is amazing! I love coming here to work or catch up with friends."
- "I wasn't blown away by my meal here - it was good but not amazing."
