Hidden Gems

The daily dose
@charlenebecker
A cute coffee shop with the most delicious coffees, made with love by Cinga (a true gem). Their sandwiches are equally delicious.

The Village Cafe
@charlenebecker
This hidden gem is a must. Enjoy a “home-cooked” breakfast (recommend their avo toast) and a stunning cup of coffee on the cosy terrace. Their Cape Malay Breakfast is also something unique. The atmosphere and the service are top-notch.

Great Coffee Shops

Ground Art Caffe
@charlenebecker
Part art gallery, this is more than just your average coffee shop. Ground Art Caffe has it all: views of Table Mountain, a great space to work, delicious breakfast, and coffee that never disappoints. They serve all-day breakfast, including fruit bowls, oats, and avo on toast. Other options are English breakfast, french toast, and croissants. Their 100% Arabica blend coffee is stunning. Don’t miss their new art exhibition every two months.

Rosetta Roastery Cafe (Bree Street)
@charlenebecker
At Rosetta Roastery Cafe, you can be sure to find extraordinary coffee. They test their coffee blends every year and select only the best. They are an award-winning coffee shop for good reason. The ambience is inviting and conducive to both relaxation and work.

Cushty Neighbourhood Deli
@charlenebecker
Cushty is your typical neigbourhood hotspot loved by locals. Grab a seat inside or on the terrace and enjoy a good cup of coffee or smoothie, one of their excellent croissants (chocolate or almond recommended), or a full breakfast. Try their ginger shots that support healthy digestion and immunity.

Bakeries

PARIS CAPE TOWN
@charlenebecker
The croissants and pastries are particularly exceptional. The atmosphere is cosy and reminiscent of a Parisian café. The prices are on the higher side, but the quality justifies the cost.

Jason Bakery
@charlenebecker
Exceptional pastries, breads, and brunch offerings. Their almond croissants are a must. The atmosphere is cosy with artisanal vibes and rustic lighting.
