We have not been out for breakfast for ages and
wanted to get together with good friends we haven't seen for a while. The original plan was to go to Jason's in
Green Point but when we got there we discovered he closes on Sunday (Memo to
self - always check the web site first). We wandered along Main Road, knowing we would find something open in this
area and the sign above the Shift Coffee door on the ground floor of the Cape Royal Hotel building told us that this was possibly the place
for us. It read "Death Before
Decaff!" and we agree
Some cyclists leaving after
having their breakfast. They told us that the coffee is very good
A small enclosed courtyard and
lots more room inside
Lots of shade under the
umbrellas and usually lots of free parking in the area, however the Cape
Carnival had been held in Main Road the day before and they were breaking down
the stands and the Big Walk was
ending. We all found nearby parking,
eventually
Things to buy to take home at
the counter, croissants and filled rolls
Run by Italians, we knew the
coffee would be good. Americanos were R19, a Cappuccino R20
Lynne ordered The Breakfast Croissant
with bacon and scrambled egg. Good croissants, very crisp and layered. R40. The eggs were cooked dry and needed to be more
buttery and soft. Bacon was good
Scrambled egg and sliced
avocado with health bread, and a small salad for a vegetarian. R36
A filled omelette with
mushrooms and cheese and cooked baby tomatoes with rocket; John’s had bacon in
it instead of the mushrooms
Some of those tempting filled
rolls. The prices are reasonable too
