While you might know Hout Bay as more of a tourist destination, complete with rich history, breathtaking mountain- and ocean-views and a slew of fun, outdoor experiences, it may surprise you to learn that Hout Bay also has some of the loveliest coffee and breakfast spots in the Mother City.
And many of these spots provide customers with the perfect place to fend off the winter chill, which blows in from the icy Atlantic Ocean.
In this post, we share some of our favourite cosy coffee- and breakfast-spots in Hout Bay:
Houtbay Coffee
A reputable coffee institution of note, Houtbay Coffee has been raking in good reviews for several years now and really, it’s no surprise.
Because here, you can enjoy some of the best coffee in town. What’s more, this rustic, even simple, cafe also offers arguably one of the loveliest, historical atmospheres around.

And did we mention that Houtbay Coffee’s customers rave about their coffee and delectable sweet treats (ranging from their biscuits to their cakes)? So, if you do decide to pay them a visit, definitely try something sweet while you’re at it!

Allegra Cafe and Life
This lovely cafe, located at Mainstream Mall and Village, has plenty of Italian flair. They serve everything from all-day breakfasts (unless they change their minds, that is!) to panini, Italian pastas, salads, homemade cakes and of course, good coffee.

According to online reviews, service is always friendly and attentive, so you’re in for both a good food experience and a quality dining treat in one.
Deus Cafe
Bringing something slightly more unconventional to the mix, Deus Cafe offers a somewhat more eclectic vibe than your traditional coffee shop. Yet, it still manages to create a welcoming and warm space for customers to enjoy good coffee and food.
Many of their visitors rave about their breakfasts, including their full English Breakfast or the Eggs Benedict (which, by default, comes on a zucchini base).
And, if you’re brave enough, ask about the ghost story and keep an eye out for the table that’s always set for two.
Dario’s Cafe
Owned by an Italian couple, Dario’s Cafe combines a casual, yet warm coffee bar-meets restaurant experience.
Here, family feasting prevails thanks to their generous menu, which offers authentic-style pizzas, pasta and freshly baked cakes.

For breakfast, choose from a range of tasty options, including their signature breakfasts, like the excellent bacon and egg roll or Dario’s choice (which consists of smoked salmon, onion, cream cheese cucumber and potato rosti).
Parents will also be pleased to learn that Dario’s is also child-friendly. It comes equipped with a nice play area, making this cafe the perfect spot for families to enjoy.
