"We went to have a look at the current exhibition of “instagramers”. Really enjoyed the exhibition and it inspires one to go out there, pick up your camera and shoot. Staff were very welcoming. Coffee and cake available. Please SUPPORT this photo gallery! It is a great place to view work of your local photographers and overseas artists/photographers."

"So I happened to be free to wander Rosebank this morning... What a lovely surprise to bump into a Obie Oberholzer photography exhibit and a salted caramel latte at PhotoZA gallery in the Rosebank Mall, next to the movies and the MTN shop! If I had a fat wallet and a huge place, a number of those gorgeous prints would get a new home! Gorgeous, slyly funny, bluesy.... only SA great Oberholzer gets both the energy and the melancholy into one image that way. The delicious burger stoked even more endorphin. The Star Trek experience in the ladies room was another surprise... haven't been since a certain pandemic, ha ha."

"A really big open space with excellent coffee and helpful staff Hanalize helped set up my coaching event for a group of 10. Affordable and acceptable food, with an art museum feel. I can imagine it would be a good space to do some deep work if you just need some offline time."

"Very nice coffee shop. Situated in a photo gallery, it provides coffee and food, amid a collection of photos with jazz music softly humming in the background. It's sophisticated and has very friendly staff."

"A quiet little gem tucked away near an escalator I've never used or knew existed in over 20 years of visiting Rosebank. Great for the entrepreneur or freelancer...with free wifi, and a cafe. Spacious and not full of pretentious hipster types of Starbucks...its for those who actually "do" real work instead of those who try to "look" like they do real work. (this review was written prior to their move...so I can't say for sure if it is still the same type of experience as before)"

"A very spacious and friendly coffee shop. The food and coffee is very good and a photo gallery is present for viewing well you wait. The time I went the photographer was also there so you can potentially meet the creators of the gallery on show. The staff were accomodating and made me feel very welcome on my first visit. Worth a visit."
