Oatlands Café is a rustic farm café that’s earned a reputation as the go-to pit stop for cyclists, hikers, and families looking for an escape from the usual suburban coffee shop circuit.

The setting is earthy and relaxed — open skies, farm vibes, and a layout that caters equally to mud-caked mountain bikers and parents with prams in tow.

What to Expect

Food & Drink
Oatlands serves breakfast and lunch, with a full menu available inside the restaurant and on the patio, where table service is provided. A self-service counter operates separately on the lawn, offering a more limited menu for families who prefer a casual, come-and-go experience.

Kids’ Area
There is a dedicated kiddies’ area on the lawn — outdoor, open, and separate from the main restaurant. Children have space to move freely while parents eat at nearby tables. It’s an unpretentious setup that suits the farm environment well.

The MTB Connection
Oatlands Café sits directly on the Tygerberg MTB trail network, making it a natural endpoint or mid-ride stop for cycling families. The Northern Suburbs’ most popular trail network runs right past the door, which means it draws a mixed crowd of active families, weekend warriors, and everyone in between.
