The Blue Cafe

The Blue Cafe is a long-standing cafe in Tamboerskloof, trading since somewhere between the mid-1890s and the early 1900s, making it over a century old. Loved by locals, it has become a place where neighbours keep in touch with each other, as well as a spot to buy coffee, light meals and deli produce.

Over the generations the cafe has been owned by a few different families, each adding to its role as a neighbourhood fixture. One of its ongoing initiatives invites local parents to let their children harvest fruit and vegetables from their own gardens to sell to the cafe, encouraging a young entrepreneurial spirit in the area.

It suits Tamboerskloof locals who want a historic neighbourhood cafe for coffee, a light meal or deli produce.
