The Village Cafe

"A proper neighbourhood café in De Waterkant where the coffee is good and nobody's rushing you out the door. Come for breakfast, stay longer than you planned."

What we love

• •Independent café in one of Cape Town's most characterful urban neighbourhoods
• •Coffee consistently well-regarded across visits, with no weak spots reported
• •Known for attentive, personal service, including staff who remember you
• •Relaxed pace makes it a strong pick for a long breakfast rather than a quick stop
