Just along the main road in Lakeside on your way to Muizenberg, Cape Town you can find the building known as the old bakery. This was the home of the bread bakery that oozed smells each morning that made your toes curl and mouth water. Then one day they were gone.

The building stood empty for a while then was revamped, painted and opened once again. It now houses a small selection of shops and restaurants, one of them being Sostanza.

Owner Manager Hope Cornelissen has put her magic touch into the business with a strong focus on that friendly relationship with all her customers and passer-bys. This together with an excellent selection of snacks, meals and awesome coffee has put this old bakery back on the map in the Cape Town area. And the ovens in the back are once again oozing out that toe curling, mouth watering smells of specialty breads and bakes. Yummy, a must visit for breakfast on your way to work.
