This little place most probably serves one of the best makes of coffee. Not only is the aroma very enticing but the taste (no watered down coffee passing as "strong"). Eats are all organic and the vibe honest and homely. What a treasure. xxxx
Among the best coffee experiences I’ve had anywhere in the world - great coffee, great cake, great vibe
I happened to be in Hout Bay and i stumbled upon this coffee shop. It almost has a rustic feel to it and i loved the way they recylced the coffee bags to make the cushions. It's a small intimate space inside and a perfect place to enjoy a good cup of coffee.
Amazing place, really authentic and laid back atmosphere with great, friendly service. Their coffee is among the best in South Africa, I've been many times and it's always exceptional.
Very very good coffee set in a rad, “run-down” little building... if they’d had cheesecake I would have had that too... really cool chill spot. Worth skipping other coffee in the big centre and walking over the bridge for.
If you call yourself a true coffee lover lookout for this little coffee shop. Rustic, unpretentious kinda small village feel. Roasted on the premises, delicious home-baked treats. Be sure to carry cash ad there's no card facilities
Absolutely adore this place. Houtbay Coffee is a very special find. They use high quality ingredients, so expect to pay a little more. But it's so worth it. Their baked goods are INCREDIBLE. The cheesecake is one of the best. Definitely try their iced chilli chocolate if you're in the mood for something different - deep chocolate flavour with a slight kick.
Magnificent little little coffee shop tucked in a quiet corner of Hout Bay. The quietness attracted us but the coffee sold us. Absolutely the best coffee I have ever had!
The interior is tiny with rustic seating and lots of minutia decorating every inch of space. It smells divine and has a warm cosy ambience. There is also outside seating. People sit quietly sipping coffee with a mesmerized look on their faces. Yes, it's because the coffee is outstanding!
Luckily, fresh roasted beans are sold in the different sizes starting from R85 for 250g. I chose the Burundi bean as it is dark, intense & smokey.
There are also lovely baked treats and goodies to whet the appetite even further. I will be back to try these.....

Amazing vibe, and it's the home of the wizard of Hout Bay (Paul) and don't forget about AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS coffee! There are many different types of beans and delicious treats to choose from. Coffee that warms the heart and soul. A friendly and peaceful atmosphere in the heart of Hout Bay. I couldn't think of anything better..
highly recommended. Hope to see you there!
A hidden, cosy little coffee shop. They roast their own coffee and make delicious pastries. The proprietors are friendly and enthusiastic about their dishes and coffees.
Dear Hout Bay Coffee,
Your coffee & atmosphere are like a warm hug from the airport arrivals in the middle of winter - a roads closed, schools off, blizzard storm, dreaming of summer type winter.

What a lovely surprise to stumble upon this sweet little coffee spot. It is beautifully quaint and tucked out of sight, alongside a little river that runs through the town. The owners are authentic coffee connoisseurs, and their love for their trade is apparent in every aspect of the shop.
Although I couldn't muster the courage to try one of their coffees in the summer heat, I did have a little sample of their baked goods (which all look and smell delightful). I opted for a small almond croissant. It was light and crispy, without being too rich in terms of sweetness or butteriness. They also have some interesting drinks on offer, such as an iced chilli-chocolate coffee.
I loved the simplicity and authenticity of Houtbay Coffee, and will definitely be returning to sample more of their goods.
Brilliant find in Houtbay!! Coffee roasted on site and was delicious. You must have a sweet treat as well as the cakes are Exceptional. The orange almond flour cake was so full of favour and probably the best example we ever had.
Wow! The smell in here is simply gorgeous. Coffee lovers unite and discourse deep topics. Amazing looking cakes, croissants 🥐 and pies 🥧 flat whites and coffee for sale
Brilliant little coffee gem - the best coffee I’ve had in the vicinity of Cape Town and the selection of sweet treats are amazing (especially the Carrot Cake). Their coffee beans to buy by the bag are also superb!
Definitely not what I expected when I googled the place. If you into the rustic vibe with the surroundings looking like a house with scraps in the yard then okay.
The drinks were and biscuits were good. But nothing really to rave about.
I think the look of the place just wasn’t for me and my family but otherwise a good coffee shop
Maybe won’t be in a hurry to go again
We went for a little walk and came across this absolute Gem of a place. Absolutely amazing coffee and baked goodies and must try the Chilli Iced coffee
Amazing coffee! This place must be one of the best coffee houses in south africa. I loved the decor. I love the passion of the barista working there. No doubt a "must visit" when in houtbay
What a great way to spend your day, at this cute, rustic but homely cafe. The moment you step in, you feel the warm welcome. Coffee was great, the vegan treats were amazing! Must try their vegan banana bread! They had so many vegan goodies it was hard to just pick one! Their cookies, lemon one and the ginger one were great too. Can't wait to come back and try everything else!
Thanks for making great coffee and amazing vegan treats!!!
A hidden gem. Amazing coffee and delicious treats. Meet the owner Paul Myburgh who always has an interesting story and great sense of humor! They also sell coffee beans 🫘. They only open at 9am. This is a great place and worth a visit
Nice hidden jem. I hear the cheesecake is to die for. But, I got the quiche instead. Was amazing. Do not be scared of the birds that want some of the delicious awesomeness.
Tranquil. Simplistic yet very much an eloquent coffee story, beautiful, rustic and ran by the most sweetest lady. Inside the coffee shop, it feels like you are not in this era.
The pastries are too good to even describe, the coffee is strong. Amazing place to get coffee.
