Coffee and Cake at Cafe Blouberg in Bloubergstrand, Cape Town (2019-06-17)

If you have small kids then you know that you seldom have no kids around you and if you do find yourself without kids around you then you should definitely make the most of the opportunity because they are sure to be around you in no time at all again. So we drove all the way down to Bloubergstrand just to be safe.

To be fair, this was totally a planned excursion for Chantelle and myself because she had been keeping a keen Facebook eye on a little eatery called Cafe Blouberg for quite some time now, and eager to taste their cake wares she was now super excited to make the most of our missing kids scenario (that she herself had very carefully orchestrated mind you).

Cafe Blouberg offers as they put it in their own words on their website: “an aesthetic experience tantalizing the senses with mouth-watering cuisine and delicacies baked for everyone’s delight.” That is of course a lot of marketing guff, but it isn’t too far off from the truth and to be honest, their location does come with a magnificent view that stretches over the Atlantic Ocean towards Robben Island of course Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain.

It is a small cafe that buzzes with eager patrons and we were lucky to snag a seat for coffee and a tasty light lunch, before taking a stroll down the lane to snap some pictures of the sea and mountain, followed by a drive over to Big Bay to marvel at how different the place is to what it was when we grew up. (A lot).
