Jason Bakery

Green Point & ­Waterfront


The second branch of this popular cafe is larger than the original and boasts arguably better views. Grab a table on the terrace and enjoy your coffee while admiring the World Cup stadium in the distance. It's best for breakfast, but at lunchtime there are salads, sandwiches and a self-proclaimed 'kick ass pie'.
