Here are my top Coffee and brunch spots in Cape Town โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿซถ

Sonny and Irene
@laurahelenbrown
One of my fav places for breakfast / brunch in sea point! The pea pancake and poached egg is next level ๐Ÿ’ฏ a great spot for people watching. Also great for lunch and dinner but reccomend booking if youโ€™re going in peak season! If you go for an early breakfast you donโ€™t typically have to book. Little insider tip, if youโ€™re staying at the station house hotel you get UNLIMITED breakfast at Sonny & Irine included in your stay ๐Ÿ™Š

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Helen Brown
Hey there! I'm Laura, for the last 7 years I have been working, travelling and living around the Middle East and Africa. During this time, I set up a Consulting business (LHB Consulting), specialising in growth and expansion strategies for brands looking to launch into International markets๐Ÿš€. I also founded the page @Hike_UAE โ›ฐ๏ธ on Instagram, where I share routes, tips and inspo for all things outdoor adventures and travel in the region. Realizing there are so many hidden gems that are relatively unknown today, I have decided to start sharing travel guides on Thatch as I go along on my adventures โœˆ๏ธ. The aim of these guides is to make information available to everyone and to inspire you to visit the lesser known parts of the world, that are equally (if not more!) beautiful ๐ŸŒŽ Every guide I share will include an interactive map which means that when you click on a place you can directly open it on Google maps from your phone to check locations, call restaurants or book hotels! My first guide was for the incredible Socotra Island in Yemen ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช and I will be sharing a guide for Al'Ula in Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ soon, so be sure to turn on notifications so you don't miss it! Using my guides, you can save entire days of planning and research ๐Ÿ™ I've done it all for you! I hope you find these useful, any questions, let me know! ๐Ÿฅฐ Happy travelling ๐ŸŒด Laura
