JASON BAKERY (CBD)

BEST FOR Cape Town’s best croissants and a hip vibe. FOOD There is an ever-changing display of decadent baked goods at this cool bakery, including apple danishes, pasteis de nata and cookies. If you’re looking to get your hands on one of Jason’s doughssants, you’ll have to get out of bed early on a Saturday because they fly out of the store. There's an extensive menu of sweet and savoury dishes to eat in. For breakfast, don’t overlook the shakshuka, with eggs baked in a fiery tomato and red pepper sauce. Lunches feature man-sized sandwiches, kick-ass pies and salads. DRINKS There is a no-fuss approach to the drinks menu, and you’ll find any coffee or tea you’re after. Daily juices and a select wine and beer offering. SERVICE Quick, friendly and efficient. AMBIENCE This small-but-mighty bakery is located on a corner with ample outside seating, whereas inside space is limited. (JS)
