Garden Cafe

Swakopmund


Set in a nice little garden away from the main street, Garden Cafe has open-air tables and chairs, changing specials and freshly prepared cafe food including salads, wraps and burgers (desserts are yummy too). It’s pleasantly topped off by friendly and efficient service. In winter the cafe is still in full swing with patrons huddled around tables basking in skinny shafts of sunlight.

Knitters among you will love the attached wool shop, but there's also a more standard craft shop as well.
