Welcome to Cake Canteen – our physical cake counters where cake dreams come to life.

Forget the traditional café setup. At our Cake Canteen locations, there’s no fixed menu. Instead, you’ll be greeted by a beautiful cake counter showcasing an ever-changing selection of showstopping cakes. From exciting new creations to beloved classics like our famous rainbow cake, there’s always something worth indulging in baked and made by only the best cakeries and chefs. Curated by Jandri van Zyl, founder of The Velvet Cake Co., Cake Canteen, and Cart Cart.

Slices start from R89 and are available for sit-down or takeaway. You’ll also find freshly baked croissants, quiches, muffins, and other savoury treats. Our cake fridge is packed with favourites like the popular Lunchbox Mini Cakes, cupcakes, chocolate bonbons, and more.

Where to find us

Cake Canteen has partnered with Hertex Fabrics to bring our beautiful sit-down cafés to select showrooms.

You can visit us at the following Cake Canteen locations:

  Cake Canteen Bellville

Where the cake steals the spotlight.

Set inside Hertex HAUS in Bellville, this location pairs bold interiors with even bolder bakes — but make no mistake, the real star is behind the glass. Think tall layers, luscious fillings, glossy ganache, and a cake counter that changes often enough to keep you curious.

From our iconic rainbow cake to new flavour obsessions in the making, every slice is generous, dramatic, and absolutely worth it.

Beautiful space. Very serious cake.

Pop in. Pick a slice. Repeat as needed.

Your neighbourhood cake ritual starts here!

Cake Canteen Fourways

Big flavours. Big energy. Big cake decisions.

Our Fourways café brings Cake Canteen to Joburg’s northern suburbs in style! The cake counter is loaded with over 15 rotating flavours, from nostalgic favourites to “wait, I need that” new creations. Tall layers. Delicious frosting. And big cake energy.

Add buttery croissants, savoury bites (for balance, obviously), and a fridge full of mini cakes and take-home treats… and suddenly restraint feels overrated.

Come for a coffee. Leave with cake. Possibly more than planned.

Cake Canteen Kramerville

A creative corner for cake and connection.

Located in the heart of Joburg’s design district, Cake canteen Kramerville is bold, inspiring, and never boring — just like our cake counter. This is where cake becomes part of the creative conversation — the ideal stop between fabric swatches, client chats, and “quick” coffee meetings that turn into two-hour catch-ups.

Today’s line-up won’t always be tomorrow’s. That’s just how we like it.

Beautiful space. Even better cake!

Cake Canteen Paarl

Sweet moments in the Winelands.

Set inside Hertex HAUS Paarl, this café pairs gorgeous interiors with even more irresistible cake. Between mountain views and weekend exploring, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and treat yourself properly.

Grab a slice after wine tasting. Pick up mini cakes for later. Stay for “just one more bite.”

A little Winelands magic — served by the slice.

Slow mornings. Long chats. Cake first, questions later.
