The Blue Cafe
Café & deli open in Tamboerskloof since 1904
The Blue Cafe is a neighbourhood heirloom which has been trading as a café and deli since 1904. We continue to uncover folklore from history but so far know that for most of the 20th century, it was known as “The Bubby”. During the 70s, 80s and most of the 90s it was painted blue and known as “Die Blou Kafee” until it was renamed by the Daly’s who nurtured it as the “Daily Deli” until mid-2014. Since then we’ve transformed it back to the neighbourhood’s beacon of blue and renamed it “The Blue Cafe”. With the blue comes a strong emphasis on heritage and engaging with the neighbourhood: the cafe buys fresh produce grown by Tamboerskloof residents, trades on account with its patrons and delivers to their doors.
