Bootlegger Milkwood

The café forms part of the Garden Route’s everyday food and coffee scene, offering a straightforward setting for a morning drink, a relaxed meal or a takeaway stop.

The menu covers all-day breakfast, brunch and lunch, making the venue suitable for different schedules rather than only traditional breakfast hours.

The café is open seven days a week, with early morning opening from 6:00am. Published trading hours run until 5:00pm from Monday to Saturday and until 2:00pm on Sunday. This makes the venue useful for an early start, a daytime meal or an afternoon coffee during the week and on Saturdays, while Sunday visits are suited to the shorter daytime schedule.
