About Honest Chocolate Café

Nestled in the heart of Cape Town’s city center, Honest Chocolate Café offers an indulgent escape for chocolate enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Located at 64A Wale Street, this artisanal café specializes in handcrafted, organic chocolates made using traditional methods, ensuring a pure and rich flavor experience.​

The café’s interior exudes a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, featuring a blend of rustic and modern décor. Patrons can choose to sit in the intimate indoor space or enjoy the charming courtyard, which is part of the original building. This serene outdoor area, adorned with ivy-clad walls, provides a tranquil retreat from the bustling city streets. ​

Honest Chocolate Café prides itself on offering a variety of delectable treats, many of which are vegan-friendly. Their menu includes an array of chocolate truffles, tarts, and cakes. Notable specialties include dairy-free milkshakes, the trademark ‘Coconut Dream’ drink—a blend of coconut milk, dates, cocoa powder, and ice—and the renowned Banana Bread ‘Bunny Chow’. Additionally, the café serves a selection of coffees and teas, with non-dairy milk alternatives available. ​

In the evenings, the café’s courtyard transforms to host the Secret Gin Bar, offering a curated selection of gin-based cocktails in a unique and intimate setting. ​
