On the Grid : The Blue Cafe

"Off the beaten path adventures are always better than popular and famous destinations! The Blue Café is a quaint little restaurant, café and bakery that leaves you with a buzz as soon as you come through the door. The smells and sights in and around the small interior captivate the senses and drive you to try new and exciting things. Try an almond shortbread biscuit, fanciful coffees and teas, or go home with some homemade pea soup (they have literal tubs of the stuff and it smells amazing). The Blue Café is snug, as well as being snugly situated in an area surrounded by beautiful Cape Town Victorian architecture all under the magnificent shadow of Lions Head mountain. Honestly just give them a try, you won’t regret it!" - Yellow Door Collective

A lovely local gem in the heart of Tamboerskloof. Such a lovely little spot. I’ve been here a few times and it’s always a good experience. The food is fresh, the latte is smooth, and the atmosphere is relaxed without trying too hard. Staff are friendly in a quiet, professional way. Just a solid little spot I genuinely enjoy coming back to.

The perfect place for a cozy brunch on a sunny Sunday. Or on a sunny Wednesday. Or any other sunny day of the week. I really enjoyed their slow-food approach as well as the really friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend the wild mushroom toast with their exceptional sourdough bread. (Just wished for some more vegan options :)

My daughter mentioned the place. We have been to the Red Cafe so it was only fair to visit the Blue Cafe. Take a read about their history starting in 1903. Quaint and nice spot for a quick meal.

Visited this hidden gem last night. The basement and cosy corner is really something intimate and different. The tea selection is top notch. I had the Pinotage Rooibos. Definitely will be visiting to go through the rest of the teas. To eat I had a Pickled Aubergine Hummus sandwich. The sandwich was fresh, the balance of flavors was inviting yet filling. Definitely worth a visit

the carrot cake was amazing, we had a strawberry and peanut banana shake. the strawberry was fresh but lacked alot of flavour where as the peanut banana was great.

I've been coming here for three decades. Service makes it still a one star place. The servers cannot see you from the shop inside so you could be out there for a while. The tea collection is just wonderfully fantastic. Sweet treats are ok and pricey but that's just Cape Town.

Such a lovely cafe, will be back! The way the seating bleeds unto the sidewalk and into the street, is so great. Coffee was tops. The pastries were great too!
