Hey there! Let me tell you about the fantastic experience I had at Fourno's Bakery in Fourways. First off, the location is just lovely – a perfect spot that sets the stage for a delightful meal.
Now, let's talk about the amazing staff. I'm all about those "units of measure," and for me, Fourno's ticks all the boxes. Reasonable prices? Check. I appreciate that they respect my mental barriers when it comes to paying for a good breakfast.
And here's something that warms my heart: they're dog-friendly! I can't stress enough how important that is for us. Bringing our little Jack Russell along to breakfast outings is a treat, and Fourno's not only accommodates but genuinely cares about our furry friend's happiness. Now that's a great trait!
The atmosphere? Oh, it's fantastic. There's a vibe that makes you feel mentally energized, turning a meal into a memorable experience. It's like being in a great space that just adds to the joy of being there.
Service matters, right? Fourno's aces it – not with a hovering waiter but with attention to the little things. They get the order right, they're friendly, and they're prompt. It's the kind of service that keeps you coming back.
And let's talk about management. I detest places with an absent owner or manager. At Fourno's, the owner goes above and beyond. He pops by the table, introduces himself, ensures we're well taken care of, and engages in a bit of friendly conversation. It feels like you're supporting a friend, not just buying food. That personal touch made me a regular after my first visit.
Lastly, the other patrons – they add to the overall experience. Even though I might not know them or see them again, the fact that everyone looks happy, relaxed, and comfortable adds to the feeling of belonging.
So, here's a big shoutout to Fourno's Bakery for making each visit special, whether it's just my wife and me, a business meeting, or a gathering with bike groups. Cheers to the heroes at Fourno's!

We arrived about 30 minutes before closing time but they treated us like their 1st customers for the day. They did not look irritated or rushing to close up. They gave us all their attention and served us great drinks and food, not even bakes but freshly prepared meals.
Good food and atmosphere but service is inconsistent, some waiters are inattentive. Sometimes you will have to wait a bit even when the restaurant is only half capacity.
On the good side, nice place for breakfast with a variety of options. The cappuccino is good but they burn the milk a bit so maybe the barristas need more training.

Light Breakfast Plate
Very tasty breakfast and friendly staff with a quirky car guard who refers to the parking as his office; very catchy. Highly recommend and they open at 6 on week days and 7 on weekends so great for the early birds.
Popped in to fetch a cake I ordered and decided to have breakfast. It was my husband's birthday and I mentioned it in conversation with the waitress Milly. Shortly after, Milly and team came to sing happy birthday with the biggest smiles on their face. Their energy and vibe was just next level. The staff are exceptional and the food is absolutely delicious. Every single staff member was amazing. I'm beyond impressed. A special thank you to Milly for making my husband's morning. You are appreciated. I will be back soon.

What a let down Indeed!!! Would rather travel to Woodmead outlet to enjoy a meal there!!!
Lack of service, waitress just forgot about us... and we found ourselves sitting waiting for how long!!!
Chicken was so dry .... over cooked ..
Stir-fry... waited to request a plate for there was no room to actually "mix" the stir-fry.... noodles was dry and couldn't mix salty veg for would mess over...
Yet again sat there waiting for any kind of service..... eventually food cold and asked for takeaway .... the car guard would rather enjoy!!!
Really a let down ....
The owners are at the Woodmead branch amazing how the food quality and service SO much better there... not consistent!!!
I love this bakery. Every time I go there I get a different bread or sweet treat. Their Chelsea buns are my favorite. The staff is also always friendly.

Was meaning to try this place for a long time and finally made it. The food is great, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Service was alittle slow but they do get busy during breakfast. They also have a great bakery.
Lovely portions. The staff are friendly and the taste of the foods is delicious to put it mildly. A nice place to just chill with your peeps or take someone to. Will definitely recommend for anyone. It has a nice relaxed vibe with foods and bakery included.
I shop here regularly! The croissants are the best and the freshly baked rolls are perfect for a braai.
The sit down menu is also great quite good.
