What You’ll Find
Tucked away on a quiet street in Wynberg, Four & Twenty Cafe feels like stepping into a friend’s eclectic living room-if that friend had impeccable taste in art and a serious passion for baking. The walls are adorned with local artworks and quirky curios, all available for purchase, while mismatched vintage furniture invites you to sink in and stay awhile. Despite the suburban setting, there’s a buzzy energy here, with families, freelancers, and food lovers all finding their corner. The Constantia Uitsig outpost may offer vineyard views, but this original Wolfe Street spot charms with its intimate, bohemian warmth.
Food & Drinks
The kitchen leans into comfort with a creative twist. Their cheesecake has become something of a local legend-visitors travel specifically to judge if it’s Cape Town’s best, and while one guest found it good but not transcendent, the almond and ricotta heart-shaped bake (gluten-free!) earns rave reviews. Coffee is serious business here, with expertly pulled espresso-based drinks. For events, the team-especially Bianca and Chris Brayshay-shines, handling everything from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations with a personal touch that keeps clients returning.
Best For
- Hunting for the city’s best cheesecake (and deciding for yourself if they’ve nailed it)
- A relaxed catch-up with friends who appreciate good coffee and quirky decor
- Hosting a private event-birthday, baby shower, or creative workshop-in a space that feels effortlessly cool
- Gluten-free visitors seeking sweets that don’t compromise on taste or texture
Insider Tip
Snag the table by the window on a sunny afternoon-it floods with light and offers the best people-watching on Wolfe Street. And if you spot a painting you love, buy it on the spot; the art rotates frequently.

“Lovely, quirky cafe with lots of art and other bits for sale. Most important to me was that they had a couple of gluten free options. I had their almond and ricotta heart shaped sweet bake and it was the best gluten free item I have tried this trip so far, absolutely delicious and not too sweet.”
