"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

Booked a table for 5 outside on the deck yesterday with Faith, I was assured it would all be in order but when we arrived the table was not ready, seems like there was a double booking. Since I was asked to write my name and contact dets on a random piece of paper I am not surprised. Jessica tried to help and apologised. We went down stairs to start with a really professional water Franklin, he took our order perfectly. We ended up in our spot after about 30 minutes and enjoyed that experience much more. It looks like a very challenging space for the staff who work there. Thank you for all the effort, just a suggestion that a digital booking system would ensure people get the tables they book for. Such a popular spot 💕

With a long and rich history, this small and cute café has become a beloved spot for both residents and visitors. One of the highlights of this coffee shop is its outdoor seating area. It's the perfect place to sit back, relax, and watch the comings and goings of the neighbourhood. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee or an afternoon snack, the bustling yet quaint atmosphere makes for a delightful experience. Inside, the café is stocked with local fresh produce and deli goods, adding a touch of artisanal charm to their offerings. The breakfast menu is not very varied, but each dish showcases the quality of the ingredients used. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food is good In summary, The Blue Café is a gem in our neighborhood. Its combination of historical charm, quality produce, and inviting ambience makes it a must-visit.

Food is super tasty! Coffee is delicious. Was a bit taken a back by the one granola and muesli being served in a plastic container, seemed a bit cheap for a sit down meal! The pastrami sandwich also had a disappointing amount of meat (50g if being generous). But service was good and food was tasty nonetheless!

One of my favourite cafés to go. Open till late for a coffee and a snack. Lots of vegan options and the service is always top notch! Still need to try quite a few dishes so very excited to go again!
