What You’ll Find

Stepping into The Hans and Lloyd Coffee Co feels like entering a friend’s beautifully curated living room; surfboards lean against walls, basket lanterns dangle from the ceiling, and hanging plants soften the warm wooden touches. Calm and uninterrupted, the atmosphere invites long conversations or quiet moments with a book. The music is carefully chosen, never intrusive, just adding to the relaxed, beachside vibe that makes this Muizenberg spot feel genuinely special.

Food & Drinks

The coffee here is exceptional, easily among the best cappuccinos in Muizenberg. But what surprises most visitors is the kitchen. The food is “unbelievably good,” with a carrot cake that steals the show. Rich, moist, and perfectly spiced, it’s the kind of slice you’ll crave later. Pair it with a flat white or a cold brew, and you’ve got a simple but memorable treat. Portions are generous, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared.

Best For

  • A relaxed catch-up with a friend over excellent coffee and cake
  • A solo work session or reading afternoon in a calm, beautiful space
  • Post-surf refueling-close to the beach and welcoming to sandy feet
  • Impressing a date with a laid-back, stylish café experience

Insider Tip

Service can be a little slow when it’s busy, so come with time to spare. Order the carrot cake early, it sells out fast, and you don’t want to miss the best slice in town.
