We extend our love for serving fresh, produce-driven food beyond our café, with our catering service.

We cater for home meals, team lunches, meetings, studio productions, wardrobe fittings, film recces, school outings, picnics and social events across Cape Town in a sustainable way.

We thrive on giving busy, working people a fresh, healthy, wholesome, and flavourful meal, suited to various dietary requirements, to sustain you through a day.

Our venue is also available to hire for events up to 40 people.

What’s on the Catering Menu

Our catering options are an extension of our café food, and include home-style meals; working lunches; baked goods and quiches; canapés, grazing boards and mini desserts.

Working Lunches

Perfect for office meetings, productions, recces and workshops. Choose between shared platters or individual lunch boxes. All meals include mains and sides, and can be tailored to suit your team’s preferences and dietary needs.

Baked Goods

Whole cakes, loaves and elegant quiches—ideal for birthdays, brunches and laid-back gatherings. We need a day’s notice for cakes and quiches, but always try to make a plan.

Canapés

For cocktail parties, gallery openings, and events that call for something a little extra. We offer beautifully arranged canapé platters, generous grazing boards (minimum of 30 people),  and mini sweet treats to round off your spread.
