What You’ll Find
Step inside Kleinsky’s and you’re instantly transported to a classic New York-style deli, right here in Sea Point. The warm hum of conversation, the clatter of plates, and the scent of freshly baked bagels fill the air. With its tiled floors, retro signage, and bustling open kitchen, it feels both nostalgic and lively. On a Sunday morning, the place is packed with a happy mix of locals and visitors, all here for that unmistakable deli energy. It’s unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character.
Food & Drinks
The bagels are the undeniable stars-chewy, dense, and perfectly toasted. The “Leo” bagel, loaded with smoked salmon and cream cheese, is a fan favorite. But the coffee holds its own too; it’s noticeably stronger than your average Cape Town brew, which regulars really appreciate. Pair a flat white with a pastrami on rye, or go for the “Heaven” bagel if you’re feeling indulgent. Every bite feels like a little trip to Brooklyn.
