Easily one of my favorite coffee experiences in Cape Town. The space is small and peaceful with quite a few lovely half shaded or full shaded areas to sit and relax.You have so much choice when it comes to choosing what kind of coffee youd like to try and youll definitely have to come more than once to try all the coffee and decide on your favorites. Whether you want to try a cup with bright flavors, low acidity or an incredibly smooth finish youll definitely find something you like. Paul roasts all the beans on site which ensures that youll always have an insanely freshly brewed coffee. If you have not checked out this coffee spot yet Id highly recommend you put it on your list.

Most delicious coffee with many options all roasted on-site. A range of gluten free and free-range eats to add to the experience of enjoying a coffee in a unique spot. Enjoy a sit down or take-away but be sure to pop in either way. Rewards for bringing your own cup to help ensure we keep our environment clean.

Stopped in for a quick Cortado, and enjoyed every sip of it. A nice quirky and hidden gem in Houtbay. Will definitely be back for more than just the coffee.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Amazing coffee with multiple options (try the Cold Brew!) and tasty snacks! Great to sit outside.

Authentic gem in the Houtbay, with delicious freshly grounded coffee or red cappuccino, home made cakes, cookies and crunchy are not to be missed. Must try when in the area.

A wonderful, tranquil place to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee with a wonderful variety of cakes and savory items. Paul roasts and sorts his coffee himself offering 9 different types of coffee. You can take beans home or buy online. I wil definitely come back

Possibly the best baked cheesecake in Cape Town. Highly recommended.

Best coffee weve ever had. Perfectly unassuming and magically authentic. ☕😍👌❤️

Behind this door you will get more than coffee. Your mood will change from Covid to Carefree Caffeine.

Roastery and cafe in a historic area in Hout Bay - the coffee was some of the best we’ve had. Rustic setting and tasty carrot cake to boot — don’t miss this!

This coffee shop is a little bit of heaven... The coffee is superb, the service is better. This is not a restaurant, but you will find temptations like New York Cheesecake, carrot cake and other gluten-free creations there. Everything is made with love and dedication. I love coffee and this is the best coffee... Do try the Rapcha coffee... I had a gluten-free chicken pie and New York Cheesecake... Really superb!

My fav coffee ☕ spot in hout bay. The smell of the coffee will call you from a distance😅🙂🙂

A lovely coffee joint in a very relaxed atmosphere. The confectionery, their baked cheesecake to be precise, is to die for. A great spot to meet up with friends and converse over some really good coffee.

Loved the cuppachino and walked away with organic cacao, stevia, rooibos and Moringa Powder.

Little tucked away fairy tale. When you step into this place, you walk straight into magic.The furniture is made with the owners hands, who is aks most always there, roasting the beans to perfection or chatting to the customers, who all quickly become regulars. There is no WiFi so you won’t see beads buried in the screens, there’s no alcohol, so nobody will be loud or annoying, instead you will find a poet coming every way with his notes and a dog, sitting under the tall tree looking for an inspiration, or a city dreamers trying to get away from the noise of the city. Coffee is delicious, so as desserts and the food snoek pie. My personal favorite is red cappuccino, I don’t know the place that can make it better.One more thing which not everyone might notice is the book hanging around on the tables, which turns out to be written by the over of the coffee shop. Book tells about his life for several years in a bushman tribe in Kalahari desert and the entire experience of leaving the civilization behind. So that man has got stories to tell to any curious ears.Can’t get enough of this place.

Authentic rustic coffee shop in one of the original buildings of Hout Bay. Good coffee roasted on the premises.

Never have i tested such amazing tasting coffee. The beans are roasted here and are fresh! Croissant was home baked too and fresh and delicious. I took my time enjoying my coffee and meal to Saveur the flavor. Really friendly staff! This is a favourite and a must to visit.

Absolutely beautiful coffee and croissant, the surroundings make it magical.

Probably the best coffee I have ever had, they really get the perfect brewing temperature. Onsite coffee roasting also available, plus they can create your own unique blend. Please go have a cup yourself when in the area.

A really cute, rustic coffee shop right next to a stream

Great coffee. Cute spot. Delicious cakes (even the gluten free was super moist and citrusy)Take cash (they dont accept cards) but there is set of ATMs right around the corner.

Quaint authentic charm, tented outdoor area for cool days, seats next to stream and historic relics, cosy inside with homemade treats.

Amazing coffee, don’t forget to try the homemade pastries.

Incredible delicious coffee. Quiche and Almond Croissant are just amazing. What a place! Highly recommended!

Perfect coffee and yummy eats in the most authentic spot in Hout Bay!

Absolutely love this little rustic corner in the heart of Houtbay. This roastery and coffee shop offers great service, beautiful surroundings and awesome decor! I flippen love the rustic/fisherman theme. They also have great coffee.. so do yourself a favour and POP IN! They have many vegan friendly options as well as gluten free freshly baked goodies. We had the sourdough croissant with almond butter, to die for! Thanks for being amazing people!

Great little spot. Superb coffee. Every day when I’m in Hout Bay. Snacks too.

Great coffee and cakes....love this little hide-away coffee shop

Coffee lovers this is a must! Best latte ever.This is not an in and out visit, each coffee is lovingly made and takes time. Sit and enjoy the aroma and soak up the atmosphere.

Cute little coffee shop with really good coffee :-)

Fantastic coffee, chill out next to the river with the dogs in a friendly environment. Staff are friendly and remember your name!!! Can thoroughly recommend.

This is a must stop on any Cape Town visit! Absolutely fantastic coffee and charming owner willing to engage his customers

Delicious coffee, uniquely roasted by owners, Paul and Brigitte. I work next door to them, smell of roasted coffee just too tempting ☺️

The best coffee by far in Cape Town. Paul is a great Person. Coming into the store feels like a magical time travel. Recommend 100%

My favourite coffee spot!

Best flat whites in the western cape and the friendliest people too :)

We love going here, very interesting and unusual with the best coffees! The treats look delicious as well. Friendly staff and convenient location

Coffee made with real care and pride. Quite possibly the best in CT.

Little gem, hidden behind a huge beautiful tree. Great capucino and orange almond cake. Friendly owners, lots of Charme.

Tasty and organic

Very cute / small and a little alternative coffee bar. Great for a short and relaxed coffee stop. Cash only.

Quaint little coffee shop. Amazing Coffee, Cake, Pies and other surprises.

This is one of my favourite places. Its a quaint coffee shop with a feeling as though you have stepped into another era. Cosy with a sense of home. The coffee is tasty and you can purchase beans to take home. Jams and homemade treats adorn the place. Take cash for payment

Love this small place. Great coffee, tea, rooibos and pastries.

Best coffee in the whole of Cape Town. X

What a lovely little spot, very friendly people and fantastic coffee and cakes

Great coffee! Fabulous cute location.

Best coffee and cheese cake in cape town.

We have been in Hout Bay for 3 weeks. We had tried every coffee shop. All were horrible till we found this one.

My favourite spot in Hout Bay. Superb coffee every time, friendly service and really chilled vibe.

Great coffee and cakes in the Republic of Hout Bay

Absolutely amazing coffee with great service. A definite must.

Absolutely amazing coffee. As an international traveller Ive experienced some very different coffees and while I wouldnt normally associate South Africa with top tier coffee this place is definitely up there for me. Cool and eclectic vibe inside with a very cosy feeling. Coffee was very smooth and well balanced on the pallet. Highly recommended for anyone to try if in the Hour Bay area.

Nestled under the tallest tree in Hout Bay - its tricky to find, but definitely worth it. The coffee is near perfect with an atmosphere to match. IMHO, the best coffee in the Cape Town area (yep, better than Truth).

Very rustic vibeBest coffee ever

Very friendly staff and a very down to earth feel to the shop. Small and intimate little shop. Lots of seating all around the shop. Great coffee! The shop is however cash only.

Maybe its just that I dont like South African coffee beans but the coffee just isnt my favorite. Pretty cool environment and great staff. Give it a shot!

My favourite hide out. I get to try the very different coffees that they offer, which are really quite brilliant. I think this shop opened my taste-buds to coffee. The owners are extremely welcoming and friendly; I look forward to my weekly chats. The assistants are also helpful and interesting. THis sounds gushy, but I really recommend this place. Dont confuse with another coffee shop in this area.

Absolutely love this little hidden gem. Rustic setting, superb coffee and great menu for something sweet or savoury. The perfect place to enjoy a cuppa without the hustle and bustle or even to go on a coffee date with your little one, as they serve baby-cinos too! Staff are friendly. Definitely returning!

Best coffee weve had in years - bought a bag to take home. Very friendly service!

Nice restaurant. Great food and coffee. A new business in Hout Bay.Extremely friend staff and mangers. Really went beyond helpful. Highly recommended.

Before one arrives at this most distinguished Coffee House, just follow the aroma of coffee filtering out of the front doors and windows to this, Rostery, and order a cup of, one of so many verities available on sale.Coffee beans can be ground to suit your needs of taste within a few minutes at a reasonable price.A most enjoyable experience of taste!

Good flat white.

Love this place. Awesome coffee.

Best coffee, best cheese cake WOWZERS

Coffee is out of this world. They use excellent quality beans. If Y love coffee then drive out to hout Bay and find this place. Its small and cozy and you will not regret having made the trip to this hidden gem

Very good selection of coffee, quiet and with some nature surroundings. Friendly staff and good snacks too.

Go here every week. Best coffee iv ever tasted with the most beautiful surroundings and people. They have coffee beans personally imported from around Africa and South America. Choose from as many as 9 different beans that each give you a new experience as each bean shows off its own character

Recently went here for a coffee with my mom. We had a great afternoon chatting and enjoying lunch and of course really exceptional coffee. The owner roasts, grinds and makes coffee that is balanced and nuanced in flavour. Amongst the glut of Cape Town coffee houses, this place is well worth seeking out.

The best coffee to go in Hout Bay on way through to Cape Point. For those who need to have Gluten free best Almond cake ever

Interesting and quirky! Great coffee. First time there but not the last.

Best coffee in the whole of Cape town

Quaint visit. Delicious almond croissants

I do not take coffee reviews lightly, and like to think that the creators of the gods sweet nectar are as dedicated to their craft - sadly, finding that passion throughout the entire growing to brewing process is rare. That is why I am so grateful to have the pleasure of visiting Houtbay Coffee, giving me one of the few insights into the minds of those who are as passionate and as dedicated as it takes to make, repeatedly, an unforgettable cup of coffee.

Beautiful coffee shop worth visiting. It is veyy old fashioned and a bit run down but in a romantic way. The coffee is very expensive but its worth a visit.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff!Good food!

What a gem!My find of the holiday!Tranquil, cozy vibe and excellent coffee.Just be warned - they are so authentic that no plastic money is accepted.

Amazing coffee. The flat white is a must have. Food price and portion can be a little miss matched, in that you pay extra for a side salad with a simple dish such as a pie.

Just because it is what people go does not mean that it is what I should go but you need to visit and taste! One of my favorite place in Hout Bay!

A hidden gem. Best coffee I have ever had. A small, cute little cottage with lots of different treats to choose from. Quite pricey but worth it.

Best coffee ever. Loads of atmosphere. Cash only

Tiny coffee shop with atmosphere. Great coffee & delectable eats, which we shared so we could taste them all.

Very welcoming and cozy coffee shop with amazingly delicious coffee (harbour roast). And the quiches and pies are also very good.

Hout Bay offers a lot of places with nice vibes. The Hout Bay Coffee Roastery is not one of them. Dont go there.

Very rustic.. But the coffee is excellent. Service is personal. Loved the experience!!

The ice coffee is nice

Amazing coffee ,brewed there too and a delicious ,moist carrot cake to top it off .Hats off to the people that made it happen .

I love this place and i will visit it again.... Im from Saudi Arabia

If you like being treated like family, drinking the BEST cuppa whilst waiting for your coffee beans to be ground, and taking home some astoundingly good rusks and local, raw honey, then this cosy, tiny little hidyhole filled with great aromas is a place to call home.

Excellent coffee with some yummy little cakes and dishes. Relaxing atmosphere with super friendly crew.

Very nice drinks,quick service but doesnt take cards which is inconvenient

Coffee wasnt to my taste. But cool atmosphere

The manager criticised and nagged a female employee the whole time we were there, making a horrible awkward atmosphere - I couldnt wait to get out. We were pounced on for an order the second we set foot inside the door; I asked for a moment to look at the menu and decide but the waitress stepped closer and asked again. I looked forward to coming here after a personal recommendation but found the shop stressful.Good coffee and delicious but expensive snacks, jams etc. Ask for one shot if you dont like your coffee too strong.

A fantastic little spot to stop off and enjoy a great cup of coffee

Quaint setting with rustic, chilled vibe and good quality coffee!

Best coffee, great baked goods

Lovely coffee shop with what feels like a rich history.

The most amazing freshly ground coffee in CT. Friendly service

Great little coffee shop. Nice atmosphere and excellent coffee

Roasting There Own Coffee On Sight !Stupendous Outside Seating !Arturo
