Swan Cafe Cape Town

Combined with a warm or cold drink, it’s the perfect option whether you are looking for your next breakfast spot or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth.

The seating area is a replica of the design that European cafes follow now, and we absolutely love it! @swancafect gets extra points in our book for the small touches in their menu, paintings, tables and environment that link to their French connection 😍 You may even be able to spot some in our video.

We wanted a bit of dessert so we chose the sweet classic crepes option of Nutella and bananas with the iced coffee. We were more than satisfied with our choices, and we could clearly see why Swan had won the hearts of many with rave reviews and awards.

The crepes were delicious and we couldn’t get enough of the iced coffee. Now we’re craving these again! Which of their menu items would you want to try?
