Empire Cafe menu

Breakfast all day, lunch until we close.

The whole board, prices in rand. Breakfast runs from open to close, the sandwiches and mains come on through lunch, and the coffee never stops. Two minutes inland from Surfers Corner at 11 York Road.

How the board works.

Breakfast is not a morning-only affair here. The suburb runs on surf hours, so eggs are served from the moment the doors open until the moment they close, and nobody minds an order at two in the afternoon. The lunch side — sandwiches, salads, pastas and mains — comes on alongside it rather than replacing it.

Prices below are in rand and are kept current with the board on the wall. Specials change with what the kitchen has, and they are not printed here, so call us on 021 788 1250 or ask when you sit down. Dietary swaps and alternative milks are on the board where they apply.

When

Opening hours.

We trade 07:00 to 16:00 Monday to Saturday and open an hour later on Sunday. The kitchen runs the whole time we are open, so a late breakfast is a normal order rather than a favour.

Before or after the table.

We are two minutes inland from Surfers Corner, so a meal here usually sits either side of something else. Check the live Muizenberg webcam and surf report before you commit to a paddle, plan the rest of the day with the guide to things to do in Muizenberg, or see how we fit into the rest of the suburb in the Muizenberg eating guide.

Breakfast tastes better within earshot of the sea.
