CAFE PENGUINO, Simon's Town

My mom and I hadn't been to Seaforth for a good 20 years and we discovered Cafe Penguino when we went out for brunch yesterday. Cleo was our helpful waiter - he provided us with hand sanitiser and kept his distance while serving us, which...was very much appreciated. We sat outside on the pavement, which was absolutely charming. My mom had a traditional breakfast, which she said was very good, followed by a scone and coffee. I had a decaf coffee, then a swim, then rejoined my mom and had excellent and lightly herbed scrambled eggs on toast, which a generous amount of butter. The souvenir shop adjacent to the café was a delight. Will definitely go back again!More

Great food

Our group of 4 had three breakfast sandwiches and one tuna sandwich, and they were all excellent. The side salad was a greek salad that was very tasty. The hot chocolate and the mocha drinks we ordered were VERY chocolatey. We also had dessert a...slice of cheesecake and a slice chocolate cake both were wonderful. The prices were very good. This is attached to a small shop, the service was great. Very convenient to the parking lot for visiting the penguins.More

Great meal, very good prices

Our group of 4 had three breakfast sandwiches and one tuna sandwich, and they were all excellent - the ciabatta bread was wonderful. The side salad was actually a greek salad with a good amount of olives, cukes, feta, etc. The hot chocolate and the...mocha drinks we ordered were VERY chocolately. We also had a slice of cheesecake and a slice chocolate cake, both of which were served with a side dish of whipped cream and were wonderful. The prices were very good. There is a nice shop attached. Very convenient to the parking lot for visiting the penguins.More

Family cafe

Sharing a corner plot with a souvenier shop this cafe is diectly opposite a large free car park near the Penquin Colony. A small menu disquises a tasty selection of snacks and drinks. The cakes were particularly good. Loved the display of old bank notes...pinned to the counter back. Very friendly service too.More

Really good food and friendly service.

A small cafe near the Boulders Beach penguin colony. Four of us had delicious toasted ciabatta sandwiches with a variety of fillings which came beautifully presented with a side salad. We also had home-made lemonade which was wonderful. The service was friendly, personal and very...serious about the quality of the food. Other customers were calling in for coffees and snacks and clearly were regulars. If you're going to Boulders Beach, look no further for lunch or refreshments.More

Cosy little cafe

Small and cosy cafe with very good food that is not expensive at all! Located next to parking place. Rapid service guaranteed if you are in a hurry and just want to grab a quick meal! There's a souvenir shop next door- you can do...some souvenir shopping while waiting for your food! Try their sandwiches and milkshake. Highly recommended!More

Dont let the size fool you

Just a little covered patio off the side of a souvenir shop but Cafe Penguino offers a full menu of breakfast, snacks, coffee/lattes and so much more. Breakfast portions are very generous and the flavored lattees and coffees are really good. Get their early as...seating is limited but dont be fooled by location and size. Grab a quick bit and walk over and see the actual penguins on the beach.More

Quaint little cafe with friendly servers

Try any of the cakes with a cup of tea after the visit to the penguins, good prices and comfortable intimate cafe'. Cake comes with a small bowl of ice-cream, nice surprise!

Great for breakfast

Despite a limited menu, this café prepares very good food at a good value. The location is convenient for visits to Boulder's Beach and Seaforth Beach. Inside seating for about 12-14 and outside for 6-8 more. Service is fast and friendly.
