Rapt

Rapt is a chocolate cafe on Buitenkant Street in District Six, created by the team behind Cape Town's TRUTH Coffee Roasting and The Art of Duplicity speakeasy. The cafe serves nitrogen ice cream, choc-o-lattes and a build-your-own chocolate bar, alongside pastries and hot and cold drinks.

The menu and presentation are designed to be an indulgent, Instagram-worthy experience rather than a quick coffee stop, with pastry work led by chefs who have worked at other well-regarded Cape Town kitchens. It suits anyone looking for a dedicated chocolate-focused treat in the city centre, rather than a chocolate dessert tacked onto a regular cafe menu.
