About Chalk and Cheese Café
Positioned perfectly at the traffic circle on Main Road, the Chalk and Cheese Café is a whimsical, family-run coffee shop and boutique gift store that injects a healthy dose of old-world charm into the Fish Hoek coastline. Known locally as a treasure-filled "café with a twist," this cozy venue pairs its popular, premium coffee blends with an eclectic retail setup where guests can browse through ceiling-high shelves of secondhand books, vintage antiques, nautical home decor, and clever thrifting finds while waiting for their food. The kitchen specialises in simple, beautifully prepared comfort foods, executing hearty all-day breakfasts, light lunches, and artisanal vegan specials—like their signature dairy-free cashew cheese balls—at fantastic value for money. It provides a welcoming, slow-paced sanctuary for beachgoers and locals looking to unwind, eat well, and discover hidden gems under one roof.
