Favourite cafe to visit after a walk along Seapoint Promenade or after a walk in Greenpoint Park. This place makes really good coffee and the food is delish! It's a habit to always sit upstairs because of the beautiful views of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, Signal Hill, the golf course and the park! I've never been disappointed by their food, in the past I have tried their wraps, pasta and gourmet sandwiches & I give all a thumbs up! Their fresh juices are super, 'the energiser' is great and so refreshing! This time I had the Cajun chicken burger and it was divine, although it looked more like a sandwich as you choose what kind of roll you want it on (mine was a bougette). I found it a bit strange that instead of fries they gave Lays lightly salted chips, but I didn't mind too much because the burger itself was so tasty and filling!
The service here is really good, the waiters are always so friendly and on the ball! No complaints about this gem!

Whatt an amazing location, the lighthouse and promenade on the left and green point park and stadium to the right. The outside section is dog friendly making it immediately popular as many people walk their dogs in the park. Inside has a beautiful deli that is stocked with luxurious “essentials”. I recommend buying their freshly squeezed orange juice. Most people sit downstairs but I prefer the less busy area upstairs near a window to admire lions head and the park. The Greek wrap is always my choice for lunch and breakfast is their croissant. I find it peaceful enough to work here and I have had some excellent service!

Always enjoy coming to Newport Market and Deli. The place is always bustling but service is quick and efficient. The food is always fresh and I always make a point of eating there when I'm in Cape Town.

Lovely breakfast! Fresh & hot. Service is a bit slow but definitely worth a try! Home made bread & free range eggs is a must for breakfast. Stunning view of the scenic ocean, situated just behind the lighthouse, great for a post run on the promenade.

I had the most delicious homemade beef & bean soup for lunch today served with a sourdough roll. Great service and value for money  I will be back to try the homemade lentil soup!

Quick breakfast here this morning. The cafe is super cute, and the cosy feel was really nice on a chilly morning. The coffee is great, and the food is good. Noting exceptional but good, well cooked food.

Newport is pretty cool. Had to wait for a table but I suppose it was worth it. Coffee was great but a trainee waitress was kind of offish. Will probably go back again though. Perfect for an after cycle breakfast.

I like Newport for their centrality to the promenade and the park. We tend to stop here often before a picnic in the park to stock up on yummy essentials. This time we chose to have lunch at the restaurant. A table outside secures a front row seat to checking out Cape Tonians at their best. The falafel salad is recommended along with the salmon gourmet sandwich. They pride themselves on the salad dressing but it's pretty average according to my taste buds. They make awesome smoothies and the variety on offer is great. Stop by the next time you take a walk on the promenade

If you're looking for a lunch spot with a varied menu, an open & laid back atmosphere and a view of the ocean, then Newport Deli is a place you have to visit! They are super busy so be prepared to queue for a bit... but the wait is definitely worth it! The service was relatively quick but it's the kind of restaurant experience you don't want to rush so reading the menu or sipping on your drink for an extra 10 minutes is pretty painless. My Cajun chicken quinoa salad was really delicious and a very reasonable portion! I shared it with my mum but could have definitely eaten it on my own!
The menu offers something for all tastes so you're unlikely to be disappointed! Looking forward to going back!

Popped in here for a quick takeaway sandwich as I'd heard they offer gluten-free goodies. Was a Sunday at lunchtime and yet I received my delicious gluten-free sandwich within 8 minutes. Beautifully packaged and loaded with toppings. Will definitely be back.

Lovely wraps and salads, quite a bad smell as it's right off the promenade (but they can't help that) and they got me a bowl of water for my dog. Nice touch.

Beautiful setting on the Promenade in Sea Point, especially on a sunny day. The rare beef sandwich on gluten free bread was delicious and good value for money. Our waitress was friendly, polite and attentive. Definitely will be back!

We live in Amalfi, the block above Newport. The service and friendliness from staff is 10/10. You can phone down your order and fetch in 5 minutes. I rate them very highly. Delicious food.

What a beautiful café / restaurant! So light & airy, huge glass windows, tasteful decor. Lovely bakery section selling moutwatering marvels.

We had an excellent slice of New York cheesecake. Creamy, exact lemony balance, thin delicate crust. Perfection.
The chocolate croissant was flaky with a dark chocolatey centre. Lovely. The cappucino was hot, rich & creamy. The orange juice is freshly squeezed in front of you. Pulpy, ice cold & sweet.

Always a nice vibe in the mornings for breakfast and also offers great coffee. Food is not amazing and there is not much of a selection on the menu. I would suggest to go for a morning coffee though for the vibe.

Lovely little spot to stop at while enjoying a stroll along the promenade! I loved the old Newport when it was further along beach road and was eager to try the new establishment out- amazing! Fantastic service that was on the ball, walked in and was served promptly. The coffee is great, the replenish super juice is my absolute favorite (so yummy and good for you!) and from the breakfast I have to say the poached eggs are awesome. This little restaurants deli selection is fantastic- lots of little treats that are hard to come by are scattered all around- easily tempting the eye!

Popped into Newport late this morning for some breakfast nibbles. Between us we ordered the Triathlete smoothie, the Berry Blitz smoothie, a chocolate, cinnamon and plain croissant and coffee. We had no complaints. The smoothies were yummy, the croissants were freshly baked and the coffee was strong! Perfect 👍

There are many places that offers lunch with a view, but this one really caught me off guard! The sandwiched were exceptionally good and with service to match it. I definitely look forward to going back to try some of the other delicacies.

Lovely setting and good vibe - it was bigger than I thought inside, but we were lucky to get a table outside. Food is good but not spectacular. Juice combinations are great - I loved my beetroot juice combo. Bought some bread for home and still have to taste before I can comment. Easy to find parking and even better to take a walk along the promenade afterwards for a great morning out

We went to Newport Market and Deli inGreenpoint on the spur of the moment..with a group of 21 people , 3 kids under the age of 10 as well as teenagers and adults. The owner accommodated us quite quickly , the waiters were very friendly and handled the crowds quite well.

The food was delicious and fresh juices were refreshing.
Wish that there were halaal choices on the menu but I was really thankful to the owner for being very honest with us about the halaal status of the meats

The Market also offers a range of fresh handbaked breads and other foods .
The atmosphere is very relaxed and informal and a great place for families and friends to get together .

I had the Mediterranean plate and my hubby had the avo and pine nut salad , both very good ...the artic wrap was also a winner as was the ceasar wrap and chicken sharwma , the chicken burgers were a hit with the teen boys and mac and cheese with the younger kids .

I highly recommend this place .

I usually go to Newport when I need a pick me up before work. I miss the old location - it had its charm even though it was cramped. The new store is spacious and modern. Great coffee and pastries. My favourites are the chai latte and chocolate croissant. The almond croissant isn't bad either. They have a large selection of fresh juices and superfood smoothies. Maybe next time I should try one of those. Nothing beats a chocolate croissant in the morning though!

This is one of my ultimate breakfast or lunch spots... Especially after a run or walk along the promenade! Their menu makes it really difficult to choose what to order, and everything I've had so far has been delicious! I usually go for the salmon and cream cheese wrap, or one of their salads as their greens are always so fresh. Coffee is of course a must, and although I normally have a latte, it always hits the spot.

What I love about this place is that it's also a deli which makes it really easy to spoil yourself with some overseas goodies!

I had the pleasure of breakfasting at the Newport Deli this weekend, and as I hadn't been there since they relocated eons ago, I was pretty excited to go check them out. In true deli style, I was not disappointed. I had a freshly-squeezed apple and ginger juice to start off with, which was wonderfully refreshing, although the ginger was quite potent, and followed that with a cappuccino. Then I opted for their fresh fruit salad, muesli, yoghurt, and honey breakfast, which was absolutely divine. The mixture of fruit was great and they even had figs, which I thought was pretty epic. Apparently they don't serve bacon (only macon) with their traditional breakfasts, and bacon is a must for me if I have eggs. So I probably won't head there for one of those hearty breakfasts, but I'd be back for the healthy options in a heartbeat!

Newport deli is becoming a firm favourite of mine. Whether it be for a sit down meal with friends or a quick stop to pick up some essentials for the week.

Staff are always friendly, and it's a fantastic place to bring your laptop to work for a couple of hours.

Their baked cheesecake is out of this world amazing and I dare say it- perhaps the best I've tasted in Cape Town!

I recommend grabbing a take away coffee, some cheesecake and a few picnic things and taking a stroll through Green Point park.

Same same but different. If you loved the old one you'll love this one just the same. I love that it is now a double story setting and you can have a view of the golf course or the sea 😊 I had the carrot and apple juice to start followed by the banana breakfast.

This place has always been a favourite. A great place to visit after walking the Atlantic boulevard when they were located in Granger bay. Their smoothies are tasty as are the wrap and sandwiches. Most of the food is simple but well prepared, seasoned correctly and tasty. I would recommend a visit if just for a berry smoothie or freezerchino

The only reason I rate 4 and not higher is the new location is extremely noisy and not as cosy as the original. Having said that they have succeeded in keeping the food standard up.

I love Newport Deli. Plenty of healthy options on the menu, and their coffee is delicious! They've recently moved to a new, renovated space and the upstairs section is just amazing to sit in. Newport never disappoints, great service and a really lovely busy, bustling cafe vibe. Their deli section means you will never leave empty handed, but who minds that, really? Great for a breakfast (try their paw paw with yoghurt, almond, honey and ask for extra chia seeds) or a light salad: sandwhich type lunch after a nice promenade walk! There's something on the menu no matter how fussy the eater is 😊

This is a wonderful little seaside spot. For rainy days, their thick, chunky lentil soup is gorgeous, and for any other day, their sandwiches, wraps and fresh fruit juices are delicious! It is quite noisy inside, since lots of families bring their kids, but it doesn't disturb the atmosphere 🎈

Awesome lovely local spot. Unassuming, unpretentious. Great place for locals. Perfect during winter too with their delicious hot chocolate. Their food is also yummy (I love the pasta with chicken, pesto and basil). Service is good. You can also shop from the cute deli. Not as extensive as others but great nonetheless.

Went one Sunday morning - it was packed and unfortunately VERY noisy due to lots of loud children and a distinct lack of absorbent surfaces - think wall to floor glass and wood, and shiny screed underfoot. Only other negative is the high prices.. BUT the food was oh so yummy! My partner had the shukshuka and I had a delicious 'health' breakfast, one of the best I've ever had, can't wait to do it again soon.

When we arrived, it was raining so the door was closed on account of the weather. One of the staff saw me arriving and opened the door to usher me in before I even reached it. The food was amazing, fresh juice phenomenal, and we had a waiter who was so friendly and looked after us so well. Silly me left the restaurant and forgot my handbag on the chair next to me. About an hour later I realized and raced back. The staff had moved it to a back room and kept it safe for me. Thank you so much, Newport. I’ll be back 1000 times again.

Pretty good overall, go upstairs of you want a view of the golfbaan or the sea obstructed by some buildings. General kinda "healthy" vibe like the type that would attract people coming back from a yoga class wanting a "strong" smoothie. Food was good, Turkish chicken wrap almost tasted like a authentic Shawarma. Albeit portion wise it could have been bigger. But a pretty good place to have brunch, if that's your lifestyle and have to catch a teeoff or yoga before or after class before having your midday white wine.

Newport is an Artisanal Café, Sourdough Bakery & Deli, established 1997, and is one of my favourite places to hang out. From the sourdough breads to their muesli biscuits, everything you eat here is fresh, homemade and delicious. They keep their menu uncomplicated and always appetising and fresh with loads of options! They cater for vegans, vegetarians and those who just love a wholesome well balanced meal. When you come to Newport you can eat fast, fresh and healthy, the deli is truly a lovely place to shop for fresh produce. Absolutely love the healthy breakfast selection. Amazing little gem found just opposite the lighthouse in Cape Town.

Before I was diagnosed as a celiac I loved eating here. They have always had great quality, delicious food. I stopped for a few years because they didn't have good gluten free options. Today I had a toasted gluten-free sandwich and it was amazing. Really happy they have made such a big effort to cater to those of us with food allergies and intolerances. I'll definitely be back.

Quick take-away after walk. Excellent deli and bakes - but the Cinnamon bun looked nice but average, only had half and always order a double-shot or you have to buy an expresso and add to your coffee - not strong enough.

Nice place close to the sea, you can enter for the shop or you can seat down at the restaurant. People very kind, food is good. There are lots of things in the menu, I had pouched eggs with cheese and turkey bacon. We didn't have to wait to long for our food. Inside it's a bit noisy, if you sit outside and you are cold you can have a blanket.

Best sandwich on earth, gourmet grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough. Priscilla who served us is a gem. Really appreciate the service from the establishment and her. Food and cappuccinos are great. Almond milk and other alternatives are available and made equally as good as normal Dairy (this isn’t always the case) Everything is clean and pleasant. All food and drinks are really reasonably priced. The venue borders the eco park which is an absolute must. Top spot. Will be back whenever we visit.

We went looking for a brekkie place after our walk. Most places are understaffed and not serving breakfast. We asked if we could have croissants made with cheese and salad and this was no issue. We ordered coffee and bought a bran muffin fresh from the oven it was amazing. Everything tasted great , the service was excellent nothing was to much staff are so friendly.
