This cafe is a great example of how a theme and marketing can make you successful. The "steampunk" motif that this shop is built around has nothing to do with coffee, or how good their coffee and food tastes (very good, btw), but it brings...people in, regularly.
I like the vibe in this cafe. The staff are all quite friendly, and dress in costumes to fit the theme. The menu, printed to look like an old newspaper, is fun to read, and has plenty of great choices. If you think coffee is simple, you'll be re-educated when you go through the list of options.
Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit if you're in Cape Town. It's a fun atmosphere, an enjoyable visual experience, and good coffee.More
