Cape Town & Cape Peninsula
in South Africa

Everything about Between Us is sophisticated: from its stylish interior to its beautiful ceramics and dishwhare. The light is super lovely in the afternoon, so we always like to pop in for a cappuccino and a little treat after lunch.

Inspired by the owners’ mother, Sophia Electra, Café Sofi is a nod to their favourite recipes. The menu centres on comforting dishes with subtle Greek influences – spanning breakfast and lunch favourites including honey-butter croissants, crispy hake baps, beef ragù rösti, and generous sourdough sandwiches. All served in a soft, light-filled space with striped floors and warm wood furniture just off Kloof Street. 

Welcome to Giovanni's deli world, where Classic Italian meats, breads & pantry staples are the name of the game. We love grabbing a breakfast or lunch here to enjoy on the beach. 

We simply adore this beautiful spot for breakfast, lunch or a mid-morning coffee. The plating is really special - everything looks almost too good to eat. Almost.

We love Jason Bakery to either start our day or cure an afternoon slump. The hip, cosy hotspot has lovely drinks and insanely good freshly baked croissants.

It's your typical New York deli–think Everything Bagel, Shmear, Pastrami–but it's not in New York. This Sea Point gem is perfect for breakfast, lunch or grabbing a classic New York bagel to-go! And word on the street is they have the best pastrami in all of Cape Town. 

Nourish'd Café & Juicery is the place to be for refreshing and flavourful healthy food. They have mostly vegan and vegetarian dishes. The amazing atmosphere, great food, and lovely staff keep us coming back over and over again. 

Looking for the perfect morning oat coffee or matcha and a treat? Head to okja café, a bright and trendy coffee spot guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. 

If you're a coffee lover, you really can't miss Origin Coffee. It's one of the best specialty coffee roasters in South Africa. They have exciting brews, homemade sourdough and their industrial loft is the perfect place if you want to get some work done. 

When we're in town, we love to start our day at Our Local. Preferably with Eggs Florentine, a Mimosa and a good book. Maybe stay for lunch with a friend, so a Caesar Salad and another drink (this time it's probably a Cosmo). Coffee and cake in the afternoon, then dinner with the family. And did we mention it's also a plant shop? What can we say, we LOVE this neighbourhood gem. 

Pajamas + Jam Eatery is was founded by two daughters and their mother and is still family run today. They serve breakfast and brunch in the industrial area of Strand, South Africa, known for its creative setting. The atmosphere is cosy, with a strong emphasis on cafe-style food, homemade items, and baked goods. 

SALT is one of those places, we still think about for days after. It's intimate, it's bustling and it's all about sharing. Grab a bottle of wine, some small plates for the table and chat the night away with your friends. Oh, and the view of the harbour is the cherry on top!

Nestled in a little courtyard is the oh-so romantic Strangers Club, where we love to go for a delicious brunch or coffee by Rosetta Roastery. Whether you're in the mood for something light and sweet, or hearty and savoury, they have it all - even a little concept store!

All-day breakfast, freshly roasted coffee and a French Toast we still dream about sometimes. Truth Coffee Roasting has it all, plus a fun steampunk-themed touch. It's the perfect spot to spend the day: enjoy a coffee in the morning, coffee-infused cocktail in the afternoon and one or two fresh croissants in between.
