The Active Hobo Cafe
Nestled in the heart of Westlake, Cape Town, at 6 Stibitz Street, you’ll find a café that’s more than a place to refuel — it’s where Cape Town’s active community comes to connect, refocus, and recharge. Welcome to The Active Hobo Café where your new favourite coffee shop.
We started with one simple belief: great coffee unites and builds communities. Our café has become the heartbeat of The Active Hobo space — a crossroads for cyclists rolling in from a mountain loop, runners cooling down from Silvermine trails, creatives and entrepreneurs looking for inspiration over a flat white.
Fresh Sandwiches & French Pastries
Good fuel is essential, and our menu proves that simple can still be exceptional. We serve freshly made sandwiches using locally sourced ingredients — think crisp greens, artisanal bread, and bold, balanced flavours. And for something a little indulgent? Our pastries are imported directly from France, flaky, buttery, and impossible to resist. A croissant and cappuccino might just become your new favourite pre and post adventure combo.
Coffee Done Right
We take our coffee as seriously as we take our adventures. Sourced from the best local roaster – Ekhaya, every cup is brewed with precision and passion. Whether you prefer a rich espresso, a silky flat white, or a decadent hot chocolate, our baristas craft each drink with care and a touch of flair. Our secret? Consistency, quality, and conversation. Because in Cape Town, coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s a ritual that brings people together.
A Space That Feels Like Home
Step inside, and you’ll feel the hum of creativity. The scent of espresso mingles with the sound of laughter, the clatter of cleats, and the rhythm of Cape Town’s outdoor energy. Whether you’re here for a meeting, a quick bite, or an afternoon edit session, The Active Hobo Café is designed to feel open, warm, and alive.
With plenty of parking on-site and in the street, it’s the perfect stop before hitting the road or the trails. Sit inside our light-filled space or outside in the sun, surrounded by mountains that remind you why we live here.
Rooted in Community
Our café isn’t just for cyclists and runners — it’s for anyone who loves good food, good coffee, and good company. It’s where stories start, friendships form, and new ideas take shape. If you’re looking for the best coffee in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, paired with French flair and local spirit, The Active Hobo Café in Westlake is waiting for you. Visit us at 6 Stibitz Street, Westlake, Cape Town — and taste the rhythm of the South Peninsula.
