An old theatre converted to a bohemian style cafe, this South-Peninsula haunt is well-known to locals. The atmosphere is lively, friendly and irreverent, but the real treat is the food. Sumptuous cooked breakfasts, delicious baked breads and pastries, as well as fresh Cape seafoods from the harbour across the road and beyond.

The place to start your day. Pavement tables, charming staff and a hip clientele on a street packed with bookshops, galleries and curio shops. It’s vegetarian, but carnivores should not be put off, the food is excellent - try their delicious cupcakes.

Try the blueberry smoothies, I have thought about them ever since I returned to London from Cape Town four years ago!
