Happy Boy, the street-food café in lively Obz

[CLOSED DOWN] Simple South African street food classics like vetkoek and Stoney

Happy Boy Cáfe, in one of Cape Town’s most lively districts, Observatory, is for everyone – from students and artists to business owners.

FANCY A VETKOEK AND STONEY?

I mean who doesn't love fresh vetkoek and cold, Stoney ginger beer. For all the real Slim Shadys, there’s an Eminem Tartine (mushroom, mint, peas and lemon zest on toast). Or crispy wedges with a shot of tequila...who said potatoes were boring?

VIBE IN THE STREETS OF LOWER OBZ 

Happy Boy, with its neon-purple sign, fits right in in Observatory, with its street art, funky bars and thrift shops. It’s a place for all to unwind at the bar, disconnect from the screen and connect with people over classic South African street foods.
