The Loading Bay has been De Waterkant's go-to all-day café since it opened — a bright, industrial-cool space with serious food credentials. The brunch menu is exceptional: eggs Benedict with Cape salmon, avocado toast that earns its reputation, house-baked pastries, and very good coffee. The deli counter stocks artisan cheeses, charcuterie and the ingredients to put together a perfect Bloubergstrand picnic.
