Sandy-Lee EdwardsMarch 29, 2015The system causes confusion in the store and the eating area is a nightmare, but their cakes are good.

Justine EApril 30, 2017This place is magic. If you want a balanced dessert go for the red velvet. If you want over the top, go for anything else.UpvoteDownvote
Driaan JordaanNovember 10, 2018You have not been to Cape Town if you haven't popped in at Charly's. Their cake creations are out of this world!UpvoteDownvote

Hilda Audardottir- GoulayFebruary 28, 2013Honestly the red velvet tasted far too much like beets. But the chocolate brownie drowned in chocolate was great.UpvoteDownvote
Always a good spot to hang out at, but they really need to do something about the flies...UpvoteDownvote
Faheem HoosenFebruary 23, 2013Not bad but not as out of this world as everyone makes it out to be. Products look better than they taste. #tastedbetterUpvote1Downvote
- Ameen AqeelAugust 23, 2013Came here after seeing the place on the food network and turned out it was a disappointment, not that bad but it's waaaaaay overrated.Upvote2Downvote
Jakub VanekSeptember 11, 2013Loved little chocolate square with marzipan. Coffee could be better.UpvoteDownvote
Cheryl AnkrahJuly 19, 2011Colourful and yummy looking cakes on the surface but have tasted better quality cakes elsewhereUpvote3Downvote
- Gert GriesselDecember 20, 2014Went to Cape Town, decided to visit Charlys. What a Disappointment. It's all icing, cake had no taste, it was so dry. Will not recommend this bakery.Upvote1Downvote
AmandaLeighOCJanuary 19, 2012Order a cupcake and get them to put a special message on it <3UpvoteDownvote
Albert PoteSeptember 13, 2011If you buy a pie, make sure it is fresh. If not they will warm it up and it will still be cold on the inside. The taste is good, but cold a pie is just not pleasant. I will NOT recommend Charly's :(Upvote1Downvote
Berry StrawJune 6, 2015R46 for yesterdays cold pie with a crust that was too hard. Give it a miss.UpvoteDownvote
