Cafe Bloom

KwaZulu-Natal


One of the nicest cafes in the area. Located in a small complex with a garden, this homely, funky place is decked out in a melange of retro decor. You’ll find great coffee, snacks and all-day breakfasts, and all products are made on the premises, from bread and cakes to the daily seasonal special (the likes of veggie curries and quiches).

Ceramics and artworks are for sale.
