If 'picturesque' was a place, it would undoubtedly be Cafe Chiffon. Bask in soft natural tones, cute aesthetics and natural lighting streaming in (a key ingredient for the perfect picture) as you sink into arguably the fluffiest Asian-inspired desserts:
If “picturesque” was a place, it would undoubtedly be Cafe Chiffon. From the quaint setting of the cobbled streets, elegant architecture and sidewalk boutiques that make up the Old Cape Quarter, to the bright yellow walls of its facade – and this is all before we even take a step inside.
Owner and head chef Christine Hu, who grew up in China where cake shops are in abundance, said she noticed this gap in Cape Town’s cake market. She decided to open up this little gem, and, suffice it to say, Cafe Chiffon has been thriving ever since.We asked Christine the most difficult question for any sweet-tooth: “Which one is your favourite?” After much deliberation, she said her favourites are the tiramisu and the chiffon rolls.
After trying it ourselves, we can completely understand why. It may be fluffier than the clouds we see in cartoon skies. It’s sweet but not overly sweet, so light that it melts in your mouth and the cream adds an idyllic finish to both the look and the taste.If you’re yearning for fluffiness with distinctive flavours, the chiffon rolls are the ideal choice. The red velvet chiffon roll marries velvety goodness with the same airy texture that can be found in the Japanese cheesecake.
