Drawing Room Cafe

Cape Town


As well as being a rather cool cafe serving Deluxe roasted coffee and various snacks (including vegan all-day breakfast dishes), this space serves as a gallery and a place for artists to meet. Check their Facebook page for details of evening events such as jazz and folk music sessions.

They're one of the businesses that are part of Art Thursday.
