Eat, Sip,
Celebrate.
Lagoon views, rolling lawns, and a menu worth the drive. Knysna's favourite café — open daily.
More Than a Coffee Shop
Village Café is Knysna's hideaway gem — a restaurant, coffee shop, birthday venue, wedding venue, and weekend market stop all in one beautiful lagoon-view setting at 61 Waterfront Drive.
Tucked beneath leafy trees with rolling lawns, we serve the best coffee in Knysna, fresh croissants, legendary carrot cake, all-day breakfasts, and child-friendly spaces. Come for the Saturday market, stay for the live music — or book the whole place.
