Great selection of clothes and discounts, but I walked around the Male Pants and then Jacket selection area to compare prices of the different name brands (with much effort and with a distressed face) but the Staff didn't give me any assistance. The only time that someone approached me was when physically left the pants area in search of a staff member to give me directions to the fitting rooms. I don't really spend much money on cloths as I am a student, but I simply didn't feel like a valued customer. I bought the green trench coat for R+-1200, which I consider as big buy, humbly said. If I should consider how I was treated at Markhams, the staff greeted me at the door and put more of an effort in the sale so I bought my chino's pants at them, I would've bought their jacket as well if the Woolworth jacket simply didn't look better. Disclaimer* That being said it was a Saturday morning and the store was packed full of customers but I feel like there should still be a staff member in sight at every major clothing section to assist a customer.

Poor service. Sunday 21 march. Till 5. My woolworths account is almost paid in full. Never skipped a payment. I was there today to get some odds and ends. When it came to paying with my WW card the machine seemed to not work. They did not explain to me what was wrong. Just said i must go stand in line at the customer service counter and explain my situation with them as if i know wgats wrong. But they maid me feel like i shouldn't be shopping at woolworths. They maid me feel embarrassed about it. So i left my trolley and left the store and did my shopping somewhere else. I guess customers is not even close to the top when it comes to prioritise. But this is the way it works these days.

  • Tania Botes

I have been visiting this store very often and have always had great service and quality at the hot food section. Always friendly ladies to assist. Yesterday I had to wait...I was the only customer there. When the person e e tually came to assist he was not friendly, did not listen to what I asked. I bought 2 grilled chicken. I asked for a pie as well but he just ignored an was on his own mission. After having bought grilled chicken at this store MANY times, this was the first time the chicken was overgrilled, the chicken was not cleaned before grilling as there were still signs of feather remains on both chicken. Hope to see the great quality of before at this store again.

  • Grant Insley

Woolworths is consistent in that you know what you are going to get. Mostly you know you will get everything very good quality, but where they lose out a bit is versatility. I for instance am tall and athletically built. I therefore struggle a lot to find trousers and shirts that fit perfectly and to find something like a suit is almost impossible. For the Average Joe though you might be able to add another star. Prices for some of their stuff is not as pleasant as before, but that allows me to also consider other options. Was happy with my shopping experience at this particular store.

  • Benita Duckitt

Nolu the supervisor was very rude, treated me like a piece of dirt and even assumed that I've stolen the merchandise that I came to exchange. I will never visit the Cape Gate store again. Nolu needs training in customer service. She damaged and tainted the reputation of your store...and she embarrassed me as your client in front of junior staff member, Amber. Shame on u Nolu...your arrogant attitude will cause loads of losses for this store....or is it a matter of colour? Do u always trat coloured customers so disrespectfully...shame o u...

  • Wendy Heptinstall

Shana made my day!!!! I was looking for a specific blouse and gave her the product code. Only to be informed that they did not have stock. No trouble to her to ask for my name and number and she called N1City to check that the size I needed, and reflected on the system, was in fact in that store. She then called me back to say it had been set aside for me. Every Manager would be proud to have more staff of her quality and helpfulness working for them. Thank you so much Shana, you are a credit to Woolworths.

  • Cindy Murray

Disgusting customer service. Rude bombastic staff. Clearly this staff member hates her job. Can't greet or speak to a person properly. Stood interrupting when talking to her supervisor. Arguing with me. Even my husband was disgusted. Second time round. Closed my store card before because of poor service. Going to cancel my credit card now and take my business elsewhere. After being a customer for 35 years I don't need to put up this kind of service.# rude staff # poor service # don't support this store

  • Carol Amos

Lovely instore. Just dont have size 9 sandles with backs that fit the elderly. Store is a bit packed. Very tight shopping. Seats are very low to try on shoes for older people and the staff should help us try on shoes Was disappointed at the linen section. Very small section. I didn't find anything I wanted there. Christmas section, gifts etc. We could not find open boxes to see the products on more detail . Store is small compared to Tygervalley. So was disappointed and left to look at other stores.

  • Tracy Miller - Zeeman

Staff is unprofessional & rude seriously, they refuse to assist me... I've ask to keep my things as I forgot my bank card, just need to go an fetch it( which wouldve taken me 2minutes).. they simply just said sorry we can't keep your thing until you get back you need to put it back on the shelf. I myself work with customers and I'll never speak to them that way, Cape Gate woolies needed to train their staff to be more helpful

  • Peter Arendse

I wanted to buy polo shirts x 3 for work today. There was a sale on this range but could only be accessed if you had a store card. I told the cashier I would have to return with my sister-in-law as I did not have one. The manager kindly allowed me to use her card and spared me a trip. That's what I call service! One other thing! Check out the rotisserie counter in the back of the store. Delicious pies among other things!

  • Miryam Kaniki

I bought 2 work shirts from studio w in November which were terrible quality! Most of the buttons fell off so I went to exchange them for better ones as per my consumer rights but the customer care staff at woolies cape gate were so rude to me! I felt like I was being discriminated against! They disrespected me in front of my daughter and gave me very bad vibes! Very disappointing experience!

  • Caroline le Roux

I must say that I do like this Woolworths. They have a great selection of clothing as well as an excellent food market. The store is laid out in a convenient manner that you don't feel as though you are cramped. The only thing missing here is a coffee bar. I do love my Woolworths coffee and would love to be able to have a coffee here while I'm doing my shopping too

  • Cols T

Fully stocked for everything we required this morning. Awesomeness. In addition, we also bought the Malva pudding and yummy custard which is on promotion and was too tempting to resist R85 Nice selection of flowers, the roses are also on promotion. R200 for two nice size bunches. Spotted some nice Winter boots but will go back again soon.

  • Melecia Parenzee

Love this woolies! They usually have everything I need. If it is not on the shelf, the staff is willing to check for whatever it is I'm looking for, in the back. One day the store manager got someone to help me take my groceries to the car, my baby was crying and I could not manage the groceries the baby. Thank you to all the staff and management

  • Madalene Botes

Visiting this centre is not a pleasure when you don't know where the different shops are. You walk forever to find a information board just to discover that you need some degree to get the info you want. Instead you must watch endless adverts. Why not put up overhead info in the aisles to indicate which shops are on that side of the aisle.

  • Johann Luus

What a bad experience! The music that was playing was closer from NIN how is that music for a department store? Obviously they don't care what goes on in store! Pricing is just stupid high I was so shocked at all the prices I had to leave and I will never return! So many better places to shop that aren't out to just steal money from you!

  • Sonia Blows

It is and will always be a pleasure to shop at any Woolworths. They are efficient, helpful, friendly and very clean. Especially love buying their chicken. One does not have to remove feathers and blood from their chicken. It also doesn't have a water content in their chicken or a fatty skin, which I have found in other shops. …

  • lizaan Cronje

Terrible! I bought a top. The cashier didnt take off the tag. At the door, I was stopped, security had to check my slip and my shopping. He then went to remove the tag. When I got home, they ripped a hole in the sweater where they removed the tag. So I had to go back to return it and then again wait in long ques. Not cool at all!

  • Duncan Dudley

I'd say the service I received was the best part of the experience. The two staff members i dealt with were friendly and helpful. I didn't have a WRewards card and the cashier asked if she could offer one. She was friendly and informative. I still have that feeling inside that you get when you engage with a wonderful person. :)

  • Claire Tomkyns

The food department was disappointing because it was not well-stocked and all the available fruit salads looked about to go off. However, it was a huge pleasure to shop in the rest of the store. It is very spacious so one can shop without being too close to the other customers. The staff appear to adhere to Covid protocols too.

  • Linda Scheckle

Woolworths is clean and aisles are wide enough for Covid times and social distancing. Their food lines are good in that fruit and veg last much longer than other outlets' fresh produce. Their clothes are stylish, but are more expensive so not necessarily value for money, like they were two to five years ago. A pity indeed!

  • Zak Henning

Absolutely horrid service. I walked through the entire store 3 times and couldn't find a single person who could assist me. There were people at the tills and in the food section but not a soul to be seen at the clothing section. I will not be going back and i discourage others from going there as well.

  • Erik Williamson

Great and friendly cashier service. The staff makes it quite enjoyable to visit this particular branch. I will definitely recommend doing your food shopping here. In addition, I purchased some shirts for work as well which were on sale and the quality is truly impressive.

  • Chanél Wiesner

There are definitely more options in the homeware department: those gold coat hangers - OMG howcome I don't see these online?! Too stunning. Got amazing assistance in the skin care department too for my sensitive skin. Enjoying my little sample, dankie! Shall return

  • Marjan B

Just want to express my disappointment in Woolworths's plain white t-shirts that we have purchased from this store. Half a year later and the collar have stretched as it was 10 year old product. At R199.99 per piece it has shown to be of extremely poor quality.

  • Rob T

Neat and tidy but missed clearly uniformed staff in attendance at each department ... seems since I was last here (2019) this has disappeared in the interests of profit. Still no Supersport clothing just the lower quality Australian/Chinese type items. Pity.

  • Ilse Erasmus

Since it is a larger branch it has a good selection of merchandise in all departments. I recently called to find out whether an item I had seen on the website were available and they held it for me until I could get there the next day. Friendly service.

  • Laura Blake

Really great and wide selection of items, from clothes to food to home ware this place is packed with goodness. However please go there with no budget in mind because this place is the premium of department stores. This is not for the cheaper budget.

  • Rosemarie Thebus

Well done to the young lady staff member at the till that noticed an elderly lady entering the queue. She was invited to sit down while her groceries were rung up. All done with compassion. With such an attitude you will get far in life …

  • John Joseph

A place known for its quality products. Small but adequate enough for the type of products normally used daily. It's situated within the Greater Woolworths clothing franchise. Spacious enough with helpful staff. Good products are fresh iro

  • Nkina Ramonyai

I am super impressed with the way the shop was very neat and all the clothes were packed very well. There was so much order in the store and it was very refreshing to shop in this Woolworths. There was no way you could miss the cleanliness

  • Monique Meder

The store was neat and clean. It was easy for me to find what I needed. There is a wide range of products on offer to choose from, which were beautifully displayed. The cashier who served me went the extra mile to assist when I needed it.

  • Romano Swanepoel

Great place to shop but had to wait for a few minutes in the queue which was annoying. I let the guy behind me go before me because I could see he was in a hurry. Looked like he was taking flowers to someone...not sure if it was just his

  • Ryan

Too be honest, i dont like giving bad reviews.... but i never kept the slip of a pair of shoes i bought... they still on the shelves being sold which clearly says that they arent old as woolies range changes all the time... so the right

  • Natalie Williams

I just want to say you have the best security guard at your store, I wish I got his name but he is so friendly and always greets everyone that walks into the store. It really makes your day much better!! Well done, give that man a raise!

  • MaryAnn Maart

I enjoyed shopping at this store. I had a minor problem with my in store account and she was able to assist me Very helpful. I must say, staff in the rows who helps when you ask for assistance and give correct information. Great help!!

  • Angela Hodgson

The very kind and patient gentleman who helped me with my query at the counter was amazing, considerate and very helpful altogether. In this day and age staff like that are worth their weight in gold. Thank you for employing him.

  • Rochelle Strauss

Good experience each time I go to this Woolworths. Staff are friendly and helpful. Security present at the entrance and he or she greets in a friendly manner, looks smart in their uniforms. Shop layout is good and it is tidy.

  • Cherie Macaskill

Clothing department is great. The food department is lacking. Limited range on offer and thus the 1 star missing. The gentleman security guard is your biggest asset at this store. So friendly and welcoming.

  • Carina Ann Mostert

Helpful staff ... waiting on stock took my name and number ... will call me when stock arrives. Friendly cashier at food department, The best part is eye contact and greetings ... no sullen deadpan faces

  • Jenita Esterhuyse

Open area and clean shop, don't feel crowded and can browse easily. Just need more open till points in clothing area. There were only two open when I was there and we were 6 people waiting in a row

  • Connor Collocott

Prices have reduced on their clothing over time. Managed to find chinos I was looking for in my size and had very friendly staff. A good store for generally better quality clothing. Do visit them.

  • Wilma Fairhurst

I went to buy some winter bedding , they have incomplete sets though , would have been nice if they had the full set of what they display , sadly left and went to buy bedding somewhere else...

  • Rita Do Nascimento

Nice store but I wish they would make their food section much bigger. Their men's clothing section is so small with very limited clothing items and selections are not large enough for men.

  • Sharleen Deacon

Thank you so much for the wonderful service today Yoghan and Carol. I am so happy you both went the extra mile to help me. Service like this is appreciated. Keep it up …

  • Alfonso Da Silva

Very friendly staff from security at the door on top level, as I walked into the door. Very professional and extremely helpful. Love your store. Keep up the awesome work …

  • Cindy J

I expected the food section to be big but actually it was much smaller than other food sections. They also barely had any stock of their specials. Lots of room for improvement.

  • Johan van Wyk

I like the Woolworths shop, but it is a pity that they have changed the recipes of there roti's - they no more taste like they used too. Otherwise, very good. Go Woolies!!

  • Zanele Jennifer Sijila

THEY have everything you need, and their service is excellent, didn't know there is a cheese special only took one, the cashier advise me and then I took a second one...

  • Emma Hedinger

Their service is amazing. They have each product you could need for your kitchen or your wardrobe. Even though their prices are a bit high, their quality is phenomenal.

  • Nadine Kock

This Woolies Food does not have anything in stock. Why do Woolies Dash and claim to have products in stock when half of the order you placed are out of stock?

  • Ken Dersley

One thing about Woolworths is it's outstanding and dependable standards throughout the RSA. Therefore, every Woolworths experince, anywhere, is a good one.

  • Berry Marbka

Not my favourite Woolworths, limited options in terms of food not a good variety. However good points are that staff are friendly and the store is clean.

  • Angelique Venter

Vegan Adams, thank you for going above and beyond to find me my perfect Cinderella shoes. Best customer service I received in a very very very long time

  • Kirstie de Bod

Chicken was great . What a shame that by 12 o clock they ran out of most items marked as special prices. Including salads and deserts with no back up .

  • Tay

Quality and design of clothing is 8/10. Grocery shopping area could've had more plants, but the selection was okay. Layout of store is easy to follow.

  • Esme Marx

Terrible. The cashier accidently made an error when cashing up my purchase. That cost me an 1hr archer till point to sort out! Just not good enough!

  • Monique “Nicky_has_Nacks” Daniels

This woolworths has a lot of potential but I always find myself disappointed. I either dont find what I need or they dont stock the items I want.

  • Lauren h

Very neat and organised. Food and clothing in 1 makes the experience even more enjoyable. I only wish you would stock more funky men clothing.

  • Al Selithethwe Bengazi

I love that shop. Compact and completely organized. The queues are always quick. As long as you are there, please get the chicken …

  • awharvard

What a helpful tall lady in the men's department, she tried hard to find my sizes. The lady at the change rooms was a gem as well.

  • Daniel Maturanga

Quiet setting, easily accessible from the N1. Large and secure parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Great shopping experience.

  • Ray Gowan

Good. Would have been five if they did not run out of their ready to eat packs of prepared orange pieces so quickly.

  • Hedri Henn Jonas

Goodness it's summer, why is everyone melting away in the store, it's the worst in the fitting rooms! Unbearible!

  • Bernice Laas-Bezuidenhout

Quiet for a Friday afternoon - a nice atmosphere. Enjoyed my shopping experience. Service with a smile.

Good customer service as usual but they didn't have salami sticks in stock and that is just wrong.

Cashiers can be a little more friendly, the one that assisted me didn't even bother to smile
