Coffee, on Clarence

About Coffee, on Clarence

Coffee, on Clarence is a beloved coastal institution in the heart of Betty’s Bay that stands out as an absolute must-visit café stop for coffee purists and road trippers alike. Nestled dynamically along Clarence Drive right at the foot of the mountain peaks, this vibrant gem offers sweeping ocean views and a charming atmosphere where even the local baboon troupes occasionally pass by. Passionately helmed by owner Kristi and her attentive team, the café has beautifully expanded from its tiny 2017 origins into a warm, modern brick venue that pairs exceptional artisan espresso with a legendary bakery. Regulars flock here for freshly baked homemade breads, delicious ciabattas, and exquisite pastries like their authentic, buttery Pasteis de Nata, while also browsing an in-house collection of local art and unique gifts. Complete with a free parking lot, full credit card services, an inclusive LGBTQ+ safe space designation, and a wonderfully dog-friendly attitude that makes four-legged guests feel right at home, this smoke-free oasis is the ultimate neighborhood hangout on the Overberg coast.
