    Legend has it that Maggy Lou was a Sea Point pioneer in the late 60s, serving up food so irresistible from her iconic Promenade food truck that people would line up for hours just to get a taste.

    This cosy café pays tribute to her legacy, offering a nostalgic hangout where you can savour wholesome café classics and salty bar snacks in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

    With its warm wood tones, lush hanging plants, and a killer playlist, Maggy Lou’s provides a delightful retreat from the bustle of Sea Point Main Road.

    The café’s inviting nooks are perfect for reading or catching up with friends, while a large central table invites lively card games and group gatherings.

    The relaxed self-service setup enhances the homely feel, allowing you to settle in and get comfortable.

    Additionally, fast Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets make it perfect for working remotely in a cosy, welcoming setting.

    TikTok and Instagram are buzzing about Maggy Lou’s standout dishes: the crispy fried chicken sandwich and prego rolls, served on charming checkered paper, as well as their fresh, flaky pastries.

    Don’t miss the homemade chilli vinegar, which adds an extraordinary kick to your side salad and fries.
