You come to Coffee On The Rocks for coffee and homemade cakes at a seaside café in De Kelders, with Walker Bay visible from the tables. The owners moved from Johannesburg and opened the café in 2001 after renovating their home. The kitchen uses local ingredients, and the menu changes daily. The café is on Cliff Street, a short walk from the water.

The bay draws whales in season, and the café’s position on the cliff means you may see them from your table. The building was once a private home, and the conversion kept the original structure, so the rooms feel domestic rather than commercial. The owners live nearby and run the place themselves.

Coffee is the focus, but the kitchen also bakes cakes and serves light meals through the day. The tables are close enough to the water that you can hear the waves when the wind is right. The café is on the road that runs along the cliff top, with parking outside.
