Whether you’re a caffeine connoisseur or just need a strong flat white to start your day, Plettenberg Bay has a world-class variety of coffee shops and cafés to satisfy every kind of coffee lover. From forest-side spots to ocean-view brews, here’s the Moonshine curated guide to the best places to grab your morning coffee in Plett. Trust us, we’ve tried them all!

Seakrit Spot

Best for vibes and garden coffees. Tucked just off the main strip, Seakrit is a charming and peaceful little café offering specialty coffee and artisan pastries. It’s a local favourite for a reason—go early to secure one of their croissants and grab a seat in the sun. Closed on Sundays.

Hap & Co

Tucked behind Buco Hardware, this hidden gem is more than just a refill and superfoods store. Hap & Co is home to Stoffel, the town’s top barista who pulls a consistently perfect cup every time. Locals know: this is the place for serious coffee lovers. Bonus: stock up on pantry staples, natural products, and zero-waste goods while you’re there.

Nature’s Way Farm Stall

Located just outside of Plett on the way to Nature’s Valley, this rustic gem offers fresh coffee in a serene farm setting. Sip your brew while the kids visit the animals or stock up on homemade bread and cheese from the dairy. A perfect slow morning stop if you’re exploring The Crags. The scones are also outstanding.

Rumour at the Market Off Main

Seakrit’s little sister, Rumour is open Tuesday to Sunday and is part of the smorgasbord of gourmet offerings at the outdoor market. You can start with a coffee and then do a lap and window shop for lunch! Rumour serves excellent coffee with an excellent view of the sea. Stop in for a cup and browse the local artisan stalls and produce while you’re there. Closed on Mondays.

Le Fournil de Plett

Best for a French bakery vibe. A long-standing favourite just off Main Street, Le Fournil offers buttery croissants, fresh baguettes, and excellent Truth Coffee espresso in a courtyard garden. Perfect for people-watching or catching up on emails over a flat white.

Eleven Plett

This contemporary café in the heart of Plett serves excellent espresso, juices, sandwiches, and champagne! With stylish interiors, reliable Wi-Fi, and superb coffee, it’s a top pick for digital nomads and casual coffee catch-ups.

Dough & Co

Dough & Co delivers exceptional coffee, buttery baked goods, and a chilled atmosphere. The doughnuts and croissants pair perfectly with a cappuccino made just right.

The Bike Shop Café

A hidden gem for cyclists and coffee lovers, The Bike Shop serves great espresso alongside smoothies, wraps, and healthy snacks. It’s a low-key hangout that attracts active locals and coffee purists in equal measure. Insider tip: Try the banana bread.

San Francisco Coffee Co.

This small café and roastery is where the locals go to stock up on high-quality beans. If you love making coffee at home or want to take a souvenir back with you, this is the place to visit. Try a bag of their signature roast—your moka pot will thank you.

Thyme & Again

A little outside of town on the N2, Thyme & Again is a must-visit for travellers heading in or out of Plett. Stop for home-baked cakes, hearty breakfasts, and a strong cup of locally roasted coffee. Their lush garden and deli make it an ideal pitstop.
