Ou Meul Bakery and Cafe in Melkbosstrand- Shocking experience

I had a terrible experience at the Ou Meul Bakery and Cafe in Melkbosstrand. I decided to take a disabled person using a wheelchair for Sunday breakfast on 29 January 2023. At reception, the person at the door ignored us, but greeted the people behind us and I had to find a waiter to ask where we could sit. He told us where we could sit and then walked away without offering to seat us. We decided to sit on the veranda, and as we sat down, the same waiter that told us where to sit helped to seat a woman with a baby. He took her coffee order and left, she received her coffee after about 5 minutes, when the waiter took her meal order. We were ignored for 15 minutes, until I asked a second waiter for menus, he told us that this was not his serving area. I then found the first waiter to ask for menus. He apologised and sent a waitress with menus and she took our coffee orders. I also had to ask her to wipe down the table as it was sticky. By this time the woman next to us had been joined by her husband and were being served their breakfast meals and my friend and I were feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Then the penny dropped, we were the only ones sitting at a table occupied only by non-whites. All the other tables were occupied only by whites, only one table on the veranda was occupied by a white man and coloured woman. The two waiters and person at the door who ignored or were reluctant to seat or serve us were all white men. The waitress serving us was a black woman. We finished our coffees and left without ordering breakfast. It is shocking and sad that such ************** still exists in 2023, and I would not advise anyone who is disabled and/or non-white to spend their hard-earned money at this establishment.
