Sea Point

Kanéla Café

Kanéla Café is your go-to spot in Sea Point for a leisurely brunch or coffee pause, especially in the morning or early afternoon. With a relaxed vibe bolstered by an inviting backyard fountain, families and solo diners alike will feel right at home. It's one of those places where the freshness of the food stands out; regulars praise the smoothie bowls, though they're known for their high pricing. We recommend this for anyone who enjoys thoughtful service and a beautiful setting — it’s equally suited for a quick coffee or a proper meal.

Swing by The Pottery Camps Bay for a leisurely afternoon painting your own pottery while sipping on fresh juices or trying one of their pizzas. It's great for solo visits, casual dates, or a fun family outing, especially if you're in the mood for creating something unique. The mix of DIY art and a casual dining atmosphere gives it a special charm. Be prepared for a limited menu if you've got dietary restrictions, but the drinks are a highlight.
