It is very well cared for consistent in style, and committed to a healthy and eco-friendly philosophy. The food is good, there are lots of vegetarian options (which are rare in this area), the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. It's the perfect place to enjoy the beach next door.

A local coffee spot that's got a really chilled vibe. It's a mere stroll to the local beach and a short ride up the road to the famous Cape Point. It's chock full of locals and their pets and the coffee is pretty much perfect. You can have fruit, yogurt, muesli, loads of vegan and vegetarian options, there's gluten free, sugar free and other options that I did not get to sample. The welcome is warm, the service is slick and it's a joy to be in a place where the barista is happy to fine tune your coffee the way you like it. Go visit if you're nearby.

Coffee is really good and food came out fast even though it was busy. Our poached egg and avo toast and tuna was fresh and appetising. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

We have been staying near Kommetjie and this has become a spot we often return to. There's a great variety of food and pastries as well as nice coffee. The atmosphere is nice but it is usually quite crowded and a bit cramped during the business rush. Overall a great spot to come for a coffee or brunch.
