About C'est La Vie Bakery
Tucked away on a charming side street just off the beach, C'est La Vie Bakery is a beloved, women-owned artisan French bakery and coffee shop that has earned a cult-like following in Cape Town's South Peninsula. Operating out of an unassuming corner workshop on Recreation Road, it is widely celebrated for serving some of the finest traditional, handmade sourdough breads, baguettes, and flaky croissants in the region. This bustling, family-friendly neighbourhood hub opens early from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Wednesday to Sunday) and frequently sees long queues of loyal locals eager to snap up their fresh bakes before they sell out for the day. Blending a passion for classic French baking techniques with exceptional barista-brewed coffee, it offers the quintessential, laid-back morning stopover on the scenic coastal route toward Cape Point.
