Awesome selection of bread and other tasty pastries. You can directly have a look at the bakery where things are made and the products are therefore super fresh.
The backyard is nice to relax and have a coffee and a bite. Be advised though if you want to be served a breakfast with many options this is not the place you are looking for.

BEST ALMOND CROISSANT ON THE PLANET! If you haven’t tried these pastries, you’re seriously depriving yourself of something truly perfect. But get there early, all the local are in love with this cafe and certain items get sold out early!

I'm German and therefore a bit of a bread snob by nature. Their bread is the best I have found in South Africa to date. Their new building also has a pretty little backyard with nice mountain views to enjoy a coffee and pastry.

Delicious coffee, but either ask for a cup with a handle, or BYO cup. The handleless cups used are too hot to pick up.
Almond croissant we had was delicious.
Unfortunately, when we returned the next day, no pastries were available because of load shedding. So check load shedding programme before visiting. New pastries only available 2 hours after the end of load shedding, so on a Stage 6 day like we had yesterday, availability very limited.

Butter butter butter, real butter used in their croissants and pain au chocolats. You can feel it. 🤤🤤🤤
The coffee and outdoor atmosphere is lovely.
This is a gem that makes you want to get up in the morning and ride to Hout Bay.
Would rate South Yeaster a 6 if I could (and if they decided to open at 7 every now and then) 😍
We often buy sourdough from South Yeaster and it is by far the freshest, most delicious you'll find! You also can't go wrong with any of their pastries, everything we've tried so far has been even more delicious than it looked. And the cherry on top of it all is their in-house barista👏 couldn't recommend them more!
If you see any bad reviews on here, it's because they don't want you to come and taste these wonderful treats! Let me tell you, this bakery is an absolute gem, and once you've tried their croissants and sourdough bread, you'll understand why it's the best bakery ever.
First things first, if you're planning to indulge in these delectable creations, make sure to set your alarm clock and arrive early. Trust me, by 8.30am on Saturdays, this place is buzzing, and everything tends to fly off the shelves. It's a testament to how amazing their treats are that people don't hold back and buy in bulk!
Now, let's talk about the croissants. Picture this: flaky, buttery layers that practically melt in your mouth. From classic plain croissants to delectable almond-filled ones, they've got your cravings covered. Each bite is pure bliss, and it's no wonder people keep coming back for more.
But wait, there's more! Their sourdough bread is a force to be reckoned with. With a crust that's perfectly crisp and a soft, tangy interior, it's a bread lover's dream. Slather some butter on a warm slice, and you'll be transported to bread heaven.
What makes this bakery truly special is the attention to detail and the dedication of the bakers. You can taste the love and passion they put into every single item. The staff is always friendly and ready to assist you with a smile, adding to the overall wonderful experience.
So, my fellow food enthusiasts, set your alarm, get there early, and prepare to be blown away by the incredible croissants and sourdough bread. This bakery has earned its reputation as the best, and it's well worth the early morning wake-up call.
And just to clarify, this is not a paid review—I genuinely believe in the excellence of this bakery. However, if the owners are feeling generous, I wouldn't say no to being compensated in the form of more of their mouthwatering croissants;) I'd gladly write countless reviews if it means indulging in those delightful treats. But jokes aside, the real reward lies in the joy of experiencing the incredible flavors and textures that this bakery has to offer. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!
Absolutely the best croissants we came across in CPT - and we tasted many here.
Not to mention actual sourdough croissants, which is a rare craft around here.
The sourdough baguette and buns are equally amazing.
What a gem! Absolutely amazing!
Start with a kimchi and gruyere, finish with almond sourdough croissant... and grab a monkey bun for later!
