On the bustling Bree street in the centre of the City Bowl, Jason Bakery is a popular little eatery frequented by gym goers and local independent business employees. It is a busy venue with a constant queue for take-away coffee but the queue’s are fast-moving and the atmosphere busy without being chaotic.

People wait patently for their turn, each looking cooler that the next, and their patience is rewarded with friendly service and well made coffee.

But we are here to eat breakfast. Seating is precious so grab it when it is available. The menu choices are creative and they excel at sandwich making, catering for the near by lunchtime business trade.

I wasn’t blown away by the standard of food, needless to say I could have produced the dish easily at home but the eggs were done very well and the service was fast.

Jason’s is a nice break from the madness of the centre of town and a great place from a quick morning meeting over a coffee, but don’t expect a laid back Cape Town vibe. Jason’s is a dizzy mix of people coming and going, with a more mature, down to earth customer who are creating and socialising with the best of them.

Oh, they do the best Portuguese custard tarts in Cape Town – dainty and perfect for one to be enjoyed with your choice of great coffee 🙂
