The Grand Budapest Hotel in real life? That's exactly what the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel feels like. Tuck into high tea on the terrace of the iconic pink grand dame and feel like a character in a film.

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.

Café Caprice is a place where mornings are for Mimosas and the evenings are for dancing. Perched on the shore of Camps Bay, the popular beach bar is a place to see and be seen.

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.

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. 

A go-to chain for high-quality coffee and matcha, just moments from the waterfront. Order a classic flat white or cappuccino, or cool off with a freezo before heading for a seaside stroll.
