Best Times to Visit

Mornings are ideal for a quiet breakfast and coffee, while afternoons see visitors seeking gelato relief from the coastal heat. The café provides a calm workspace with WiFi for those needing to catch up on emails between beach visits.

When planning your visit, aim for mid-week to avoid weekend crowds, especially during summer when Langebaan fills with holidaymakers from Cape Town.

Local Tips

Try visiting Café Gelato as part of a walking tour of Langebaan's town center. It makes a perfect pit-stop between browsing local shops and heading to the beach. For the full experience, pair a gelato with one of their freshly baked pastries.
