The Hans and Lloyd Coffee Co
About This Spot
Stepping into The Hans and Lloyd Coffee Co, nestled on York Road in the heart of Muizenberg, feels like slipping into a warm, familiar corner where the rhythm of the seaside town gently lingers. The space invites you in with the soothing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, mingling effortlessly with salty ocean air just beyond the window. Here, time slows down—whether you’re escaping the morning rush or unwinding after a surf, the atmosphere carries a relaxed, welcoming hum that makes you want to linger.
The decor effortlessly balances casual beach charm and quiet comfort. Surfboards lean against warm wooden walls, while hanging plants and soft lantern light create pockets of calm amid gentle chatter. There’s a fireplace nook where you can sink into a couch, and even from the ground floor vantage point, glimpses of the sea remind you why Muizenberg has such a devoted following.
The heart of the experience pulses through the coffee itself—carefully brewed and thoughtfully served. The menu unfolds naturally alongside the mood: breakfasts that feel like a kind embrace, whether it’s the melt-in-your-mouth shakshuka or hearty breakfast wraps that fill you just right. Sweet moments arrive on the plate too, with familiar comforts like carrot cake or warm cinnamon-spiced hot cakes inviting a slower savoring of the day.
The friendly, attentive staff are attuned to the steady flow of locals and visitors alike, ensuring each visit feels personal without rushing the pace. It’s the kind of place where baristas know their craft intimately, and a flat white is as much about ritual as refreshment. Fresh juices, including vibrant cold-pressed scents, round out the experience, hinting at the care placed in every detail.
Whether you’re popping in after a morning surf, meeting a friend for a quiet catch-up, or simply seeking a moment of calm with good coffee and thoughtful food, The Hans and Lloyd Coffee Co offers a little slice of Muizenberg’s easygoing spirit. It’s a spot where the everyday feels quietly celebratory and the simple joy of gathering is front and center.

**Review of Hans and Lloyd Coffee Shop, Muizenberg:** Walking into Hans and Lloyd, the atmosphere is fantastic; the smell of coffee hits you, enveloping you in warmth and comfort. The service here is great, with staff that are attentive and friendly, ensuring your experience is pleasant from the moment you step in. The coffee tastes wonderful, with each cup showcasing the care and expertise that goes into its preparation. I've had breakfast here previously, and it was very delicious, offering a satisfying start to the day. One of the standout features of Hans and Lloyd is its stunning view. From your window, you look out onto Muizenberg beach, watching the rolling breakers. The majestic mountains of Simon's Town and Miller's Point stretch into the distance, with vistas even reaching up to Cape Point. It's not just a coffee shop; it's an experience that connects you with the natural beauty of the area. Highly recommended for both the culinary delights and the visual feast it provides.

Food is unbelievable good and this is easily the one of best coffee and cappuccino spots in muizenberg. The other being up the road past the striped horse on the side. Service can be slow because it’s so busy and in demand and you may have to wait but you’ll almost always not wait longer than 10 minutes. Personally once served found it to fly. Breakfast wrap is really good but proper filling. You’d actually be fine to share it!

First time visiting after hearing a lot of praise, and now I see why! Beautiful space with stunning interior—surfboards, basket lanterns, hanging plants, and warm wooden touches give it a relaxed, beachy vibe. The coffee bar is well stocked, juices are made with visible fresh fruit, and the cozy fireplace corner with couches is a great touch. Staff are friendly and super helpful. The only downside? Flies. Quite a few around my table and food, possibly due to the fruit near the bar. If that were sorted, this would easily be a five-star spot. Still, highly recommend!

In the hub of Muizenberg, surfers delight, with a stunning view. Vibey atmosphere. Our little dog was allowed. The fresh juices served is a delight, try the flu shot one, the salad was fresh and tasty. Value for money. Pop in when you in Muizenberg. It's on the ground floor level, but you can still have a sea view. The coffee is of a really good quality as well.

Genuinely great café experience The atmosphere is calm and uninterrupted, making it an ideal spot to relax or have a long conversation. The music was so good. The carrot cake was a highlight. If you like your coffee strong I recommend the flat white. Overall, this café delivers exactly what you hope for: good food, good coffee, and a peaceful environment. Highly recommended.

It's probably one of our favorite breakfast spots; great atmosphere and even better food. The breakfast rush is always intense, so keep that in mind! You may not find seating immediately in the morning or the coveted window seating for that beach view. We've also never had to wait too long for our orders so even during the rush it was great service. Their coffee is really strong, so if that's your jam, then you won't be disappointed. Our go-to order is usually the Hans Full House Breakfast, hubby loves the coffee, and I usually go for one of the dairy-free smoothies. Their stuffed croissant, scones, and cakes are great as well.

Probably some of the best coffee I've ever had. The atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing, one just feels at ease. Food was amazing and the service was snappy and attentive. They're also pet friendly, which is awesome. This is really a gem in Cape Town and I will definitely be back for another visit.
