Our story

Coffee, food
& good mood.

Café Roastique is the latest chapter of a kitchen that started small — now a full café at The Village Gate, serving coffee and café classics alongside the Indian delicacies that started it all.

It's grown into Hout Bay's largest menu under one roof — a single kitchen where every age and every craving is catered for, from the littlest ones to the grandparents.

Coffee isn't just a drink here — it's a mood, a moment, and a reason to slow down.

Our approach

Our kitchen covers all cravings.

Café Roastique brings together a proper coffee bar — espresso, hand-pulled milkshakes, fresh juices — with a full café kitchen covering breakfast, salads, toasties, wraps and burgers.

And running straight through the middle of it: the Indian delicacies, biryani and bunny chow this kitchen was built on. Butter chicken and a flat white, on the same table — that's the whole idea.

The journey

How we got to Roastique

Every step brought the same kitchen, the same care, and a few more chairs at the table.

The beginning

Cooked at home

This kitchen started life cooking for family, friends, and word-of-mouth orders in Hout Bay.

Growing up

Hout Bay Harbour

Demand grew, so the first stall opened at the Harbour — serving locals and visitors alike.

Today

Café Roastique, The Village Gate

Now a full café at The Village Gate — coffee, food and good mood, with the Indian dishes that started it all still on the menu.

What we stand for

The values behind every cup

I.

Coffee, done properly

II.

No borders on flavour

III.

A community table

Grown through word of mouth in Hout Bay — we still cook like every guest is a regular.

IV.

Made fresh, daily
