What You’ll Find
There’s a magic that settles over Café Caprice as the afternoon light softens and the Atlantic begins to shimmer. Golden hour here isn’t just a time of day-it’s the main event. Perched right on Victoria Road, the outdoor seating puts you front row for that famous Camps Bay sunset, with the beach just across the street. The music is always on point, the crowd is stylish but relaxed, and the whole place hums with a social energy that feels both upscale and effortlessly Cape Town. It’s the kind of spot where you arrive for a quick coffee and end up staying for three rounds.
Food & Drinks
The menu leans into easy, satisfying fare with a Mediterranean twist. Breakfast is a highlight-try the “Arvo” (a loaded avocado toast) or the “Cheese & Bacon” burger, both praised by regulars for their fresh, generous portions. Cocktails are the real draw here; think classic Mojitos and creative blends that pair perfectly with the view. Just note that alcohol isn’t served before 11am, so plan your morning visit accordingly. The coffee is solid, and the service keeps things moving even when the terrace is packed.

- Sunset drinks with friends or a date, watching the sky turn over the ocean

Insider Tip
If you’re here for sunset, arrive by 4:30pm to snag a front-row table. The view is free, but the best seats go fast-locals know to book ahead for weekend golden hour.
