Food scene
Not your average venue, you will be met by a vibey atmosphere, super energetic staff at one the finest day eateries and coffee roasters Cape Town has to offer. I love the raw energy of this place, from wee hours in the morning too. I have even ventured there in the wet and cold of winter for my coffee fix. The food is always consistent, and service is on point every single time. There is a variety of breakfast options, but I stick to the Eggs Benedict's with salmon, or I opt for one of the morning fresh pastries (croissants are heavenly) that hit the spot.

Take the ferry to Robben Island. During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional brutality. The duty of those who ran Robben Island and the Robben Island prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison on Robben Island for their beliefs.
Those imprisoned on the Island succeeded on a psychological and political level in turning a prison 'hell-hole' into a symbol of freedom and personal liberation. Robben Island came to symbolise, not only for South Africa and the African continent, but also for the entire world, the triumph of the human spirit over enormous hardship and adversity.
The ferry trip itself can be quite exciting as the views of the Mothercity is amazing from the ferry.
