Service was nice and attentive!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food and coffee at Baker & Bean was superb. The cafe is light and airy, with stylish tables and chairs. Service was excellent. But the prices were high, and after my (rather small) R140 meal I was still hungry. So it is an enjoyable Simon's Town option, but not the best value for money around.
