Courtyard 53: A Hidden Plumstead Gem

Courtyard 53 is one of those hidden gem spots in Cape Town that you’ll wish you knew about earlier. A tranquil garden courtyard nestled in the heart of Plumstead that is home to shops, a nursery and garden café. A lovely spot to catch up with friends or enjoy an outdoor, relaxing shopping experience at one of the surrounding shops or monthly market.

HIGH TEA

At the centre of the courtyard is High Tea, the quaint tea and cake shop, where, as the name suggests, you can enjoy a high tea, simple cake and coffee or even a light lunch. Their baristas are trained to provide patrons with the finest Camissa coffees or a pot of uniquely flavoured and exotic teas. And, nothing goes better with a good cuppa than one of their individual petite cakes in a range of flavours or one of their pastries and confectioneries. Their idea is to provide an escape from the overwhelming hurriedness of the outside, somewhere you can slow down, enjoy something special while sitting under a canopy of trees with the sun rays peeping through and  listen to the lulling sound of the water fountains.
