"Beards, Beer, and Brownies in Cape Town The Power and the Glory is a cool bistro in the center of Cape Town that has attracted a cult following among locals. The relaxed style, the bearded staff, the folding chairs, and the sidewalk stools may remind you of a Brooklyn cafe. If you can snag a chair, it makes for a great place to work or to have a meeting over a light breakfast. In the evening, the place is usually packed with revelers. Try the quiche in the morning, the pretzel bun hot dog in the evening, and the Nutella cheesecake for dessert."

The Power & The Glory - Review - Gardens - Cape Town - The Infatuation

"An evening at The Power & The Glory is the best way to experience Cape Town at night. People gather here in such high numbers that they spill down the street every evening, drinking CBC beer or a local Chenin, eating their infamous hot dogs, and talking to the famous bouncer. It also shares a wall with Publik, Cape Town’s main wine bar, in case you don’t make it to wine country." - Dana Alloy

This place is amazing! We arrived to cape town for the first night and the place just got renovated! It’s the most cozy place and the waitress Cassidy made it even better! She is so dedicated to give you a good time! The music is nice, the food is good and the place is so warm. Definitely recommended!

The place has great coffee and food, but unfortunately the staff will place an already made croissant in a bag and then beg for a tip. Was here 3 times and every single time, no matter what I got, the staff hassled us for a tip. Slightly off putting.

I just got back home to Cape Town from the US, looking forward for a drink at my favourite bar (now known as The Power Above) that has been so good to me in the past. Although a lot was familiar, it felt so distant. Especially when I found out that my favorite server had been unceremoniously dismiss for yet to be understood reasons. The food was good, the drinks selection and prices were great...but the lack of stars stems from my distress when I found out that Linda wasn't there any more. A true professional, and homemaker of sorts in a city full of strangers. I do hope I run into her again somewhere...I'm seriously holding it'll be at [The Moveable Feast] Rea

Watched the rugby here and it was such a great atmosphere. The pizza at The Power Above is some of the best in town!

Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. The place is absolutely beautiful, and looks so warm and inviting. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the food looked absolutely incredible. Quaint coffee shop by day, The power and The Glory is transformed into a bustling bar by night. Definitely worth visiting.

We were in Cape Town in July 2024. We stayed across the street from this spot. We had pickle backs every night and their breakfast sandwiches were delicious.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Celebrating my birthday at Power and Glory was the worst mistake ever. We met the managers three days before, confirmed everything — music, lights, dance floor, special area, and food orders. They promised us “do whatever you want.” But on the day? Total disaster. Staff knew nothing, the manager on duty kept saying no to everything, and every request was ignored. We had 25–30 guests, food was supposed to be ready by 9 PM. It came an hour late, wasn’t enough, and when we asked for more, they said the kitchen was closed. Guests ended up waiting hungry while I was serving food myself, and one of my friends had to stand in the kitchen begging chefs to hurry. Instead of celebrating, we spent the night arguing and waiting. The management is unprofessional, the staff is clueless, and their promises are nothing but lies. ⚠️ Never book this place for any occasion. Power and Glory ruined my birthday and I would never recommend it to anyone.
