Dubbed the biggest awards show of the year, Kfm 94.5 invited the people of Cape Town to vote across 30 categories for the 2022 Best of the Cape Awards. No funny business, just you choosing the Mother City’s finest. And Cape {town} Etc is adding to the gees by proudly supporting each winner.
Stay tuned: over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing a full feature story on each of your favourites. Get ready for a scrumptious start to your day … this is Cape Town’s ‘Best Breakfast Spot’:
Best Breakfast Spot winner: Bo-Kaap Deli
Koeksisters and coffee against the background of the colourful Bo-Kaap and its cobbled streets … what more could you want each morning?

Bo-Kaap Deli serves contemporary food rooted in rich Cape Malay traditions in the heart of this historical area of the CBD.

The Royal Blue exterior is hard to miss, with outdoor seating that paints the picture of a French corner café – but better because #localislekker. Inside, you’ll be surrounded by delicious takeaway goodies and plenty of fresh plants.

Diners can choose to sit inside the bustling eatery or streetside. Order from the menu or grab something yum on the run. On offer is everything from a “Boss Brekkie for boss customers” to Masala Mince Shakshuka and freshly baked quiches and croissants.

For a classic breakfast lover, the Bo-Kaap Breakfast is heavenly.

Bo-Kaap deli was nominated for serving authentic Malay-inspired breakfasts with a modern twist, and for a vibe that takes off on weekends with live music sets. Plus, there’s always an epic special on offer. How good does a free milkshake with a chicken or beef burger sound? Get it on Saturdays.
