About Coffee at C’est la Vie
This heavenly rustic Parisian style cafe was voted one of the top 10 best coffees in Cape Town by Elle Magazine. They make artisanal breads of note and rival the best breakfast spots we've ever come across.
Locals greet each other as though it were a communal dining room and its uncomplicated minimalist menu, sweet setting off a cobbled lane and location in the artistic and eccentric town of Kalk Bay, make it a favourite.
