A true local hidden gem!
This is not the kind of place you would just find if someone didn't tell you about it. Never would have thought to find this divine eatery in an industrial area but it’s a must! Situated in the Strand between the industrial warehouses!
Best coffee shop in the Western Cape and this is not my opinion... they actually have the award to prove it!!
Not only a fantastic restaurant with delicious food but filled with artifacts of years gone by which you can purchase along with dress up costumes, baskets, glassware & freshly baked cakes & bread. A MUST VISIT!

Stoney point in Betties Bay is one of the largest successful breeding colonies of African Penguin in the world! Penguins just came here and a breeding colony started. It used to be a whaling station. They are also known as the "jackass" penguin for its donkey-like sound.
