Cafe Mozart on Church

This Cape Town Café has been in the same location, in the heart of Church Street, in the centre of Cape Town, for many decades. It is a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike. Being situated right next to the Association for the Visual Arts and a clutch of commercial and other non-commercial art galleries, it is a natural home for artists, curators, and art lovers. What makes it so special is their wide seated area outside nestled between the Church Street collectables stalls. Most other eateries in the city have to make do with one or two tables on the sidewalk, Mozart easily fits ten tables on their part of the pedestrianized part of Church Street. And you sit under trees. They make the best iced coffee, almost like a coffee milkshake, in town, hands down. It is made with almond milk, which gives it a heavenly richness. If you are having lunch, I recommend one of their comfort food dishes, like the chicken curry, Malay style, or their Bobotie, another Malay classic. It is served slightly deconstructed, so it is very fresh. It is hearty and delicious, especially after a long session of walking the city centre and visiting its galleries. This Café is an institution and will not disappoint, visit Church Street, its collectables market, and the stellar galleries on this street and around the area and drop in for a coffee or lunch at this much-loved local spot.

I have been visiting Mozart Coffee Shop for the past 40 years nearly 5 days a week. It's one of CapeTowns oldest coffee shops. It's part of a Cape Georgian Building between Long and BurgStreet.With an magical old world atmosphere outside under the trees. Supervised by the owners Ron and Albina who owned various restaurants from Portugal to Cape Town.The most recent one is Beleza Restaurant on Kloofnek Rd.

We went to Beleza for breakfast and the food was excellent. So was the coffee, with a wide variety of each. Safe and inviting, we certainly enjoyed our meal and our time at Beleza. Smoking is allowed on the lower patio. We will return.

The place itself is so nice - it’s a pity that it’s not been taken care of properly. Although service was nice and friendly, I will not return: Table cloth is faded out and dirty, cups are broken and dirty (looks like they have egg yolk smeared in them (disgusting!), cafe room inside is a mess… I just had a cup of tea - and left because after what I saw, I did not “dare” to order food. And obviously the owner / web admin is very rude.. that does not make a dirty, broken cup any better or cleans up a mess… it only shows the lack of responsibility… Avoid this cafe. There’s a lot better options in the area.

The first time I was there they double booked my meal. I thought maybe it was a mistake. The second time I was there, I was putting in my bank code, and while one person who works there was talking to me, the other was standing right behind me where he could see the code. I turned around and he quickly walked away. The third time I was there the young waiter who has no manners and could care less about the customer added an extra zero to my bill. When I saw it on the machine, he said oh sorry my mistake with a bit of attitude as the cherry on top. Three times is enough for me to beware and never go there again. Caveat Emptor

I love the ambiance ,the cakes,the sandwiches,the coffee and friendly staff.It is located in a lovely street close to Green Market street .One of my favorite cafes in Cape Town.

Love the look and feel of the place. Outside area is a bonus. Staff was very helpful, just wish they had a better variety of wine

Food was good expecially what was suggested by the waitress and service very nice
