About Cafe Penguino
Cafe Penguino sits right in the heart of Simon's Town, offering an informal but inviting spot that feels very much part of the local rhythm. This café draws a steady mix of residents and visitors, from people grabbing a quick coffee and pastry to those settling in with a laptop for a couple of hours, even without Wi-Fi, thanks to its welcoming vibe and attentive staff. The charm here is in its unpretentious character nothing too fancy but well made and honest food with highlights like the egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich, alongside baked treats such as red velvet cake, banana loaf, and the Portuguese inspired pasteis de nata. Homemade lemonade and comforting coffee options, including lattes and cafe mochas, round out the menu nicely for daytime refreshment.
