Luxury cars and coffee: Inside Archive Coffee Shop in Cape Town

If there is one thing about Cape Town, you will never run out of a new restaurant or café to try. Every time I visit the scenic city, I always try to visit one place I haven’t before and on my last trip I took a little coffee break from work, and headed to The Archive Coffee Shop, located on Clare Street in Gardens, Cape Town.

I found this cute little café through my personal Cape Town “travel agent” – my aunt, who always knows how to find the most beautiful hidden gems.

The Archive Coffee Shop is a little café situated in the same building as The Archive Automotive – an automotive store which specialises in detailing, storage, upgrades and brokerage. The café area allows visitors to enjoy their coffee while looking at the view of luxury cars – a car enthusiasts dream!

This is also an ideal spot to get some work done or wind down and read a book . The café itself is quite reasonably priced with hot drinks from around R30, which is almost half the price of other coffee shops such as Starbucks, Seattle and more.
