"Set in a stunning ivy courtyard, which
has played host to a wedding shoot or two, this coffee house is a
peaceful retreat, tucked away behind market square. Rising at 7, the
cafe prepares hearty breakfasts, light lunches, traditional African
dinners and a mean slice of Cape Brandy Tart. You'll find yourself
chatting with the owner, who has many an interesting story to impart." http://www.capetownmagazine
