Pauline's

A little spot with a lot to offer. Coffee and Swedish cinnamon bun lovers you're welcome. Sit in or get it to go with a healthy bunch or lunch. With a small but flavoursome menu including sourdough delights, eggs and lots of avocado. Two beautifully considered cafes one in Sea Point the other down the road in Green Point.  

Do a banging Mushroom / apoptogenic coffee and cute outdoor courtyard area. No load shedding wifi though 

Stand-up, scandi-inspired coffee bar with excellent cardamom buns,
