Scarborough is one of Cape Town’s most peaceful seaside villages, and right in the centre of it you’ll find Whole Earth Café — a warm, relaxed café that fits perfectly into the slow-paced, nature-focused lifestyle of the area. It’s part of the Whole Earth Collection, a small hospitality brand offering food, accommodation and wellness experiences inspired by simplicity and the natural surroundings.

Whole Earth Café has a cosy indoor area and an inviting outdoor space where guests can sit under trees or enjoy Scarborough’s fresh ocean air. The restaurant offers a homely feeling where families, locals and travellers can settle in for an easy brunch or a coffee.

They feature a small jungle gym with a climbing tree, slide and climbing wall. Inside, you’ll find a cute gift shop to take some memories home.

The Menu

The café focuses on straightforward, wholesome dishes made with fresh ingredients. Their menu includes a mix of breakfasts, salads, bowls, burgers, wraps, smoothies and freshly baked items. While the selection changes over time, the food generally leans toward colourful, nourishing and filling meals without being overly complicated.

A few examples from their current menu include: flapjack stack, falafel bowl, wraps, burgers, salads and fresh juices.

Part of the Whole Earth Collection

The café also forms part of the broader Whole Earth Collection, which includes accommodation and wellness experiences in Scarborough — all designed around the same idea of living simply and close to nature. You can take a look at their accommodation options here: ACCOMMODATION
