CAUSE | EFFECT is a vibrant ode to the stunning natural beauty of Cape Town, drawing inspiration from the region’s oceans, mountains, fynbos, and vineyards. Our cocktails are not just drinks—they are immersive experiences designed to be seen, touched, smelled, and savoured.

Driven by creativity, our seasonally evolving menu showcases local ingredients and inventive techniques. From fynbos-infused Vermouth to meticulously crafted brandy-based cocktails, each drink tells a story of South Africa’s rich landscape and heritage.

    Our experience at Cause | Effect Cocktail Kitchen was incredibly unique! I brought a group of 30+ board members, staff, and members here for a networking reception during our week of meetings. Our group comes from around the globe and our meetings are held globally as well, and everyone agrees that this is one of the more unique and fun receptions we've had. The food was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the drinks were fun AND delicious! We loved the different presentation of the various cocktails, and the punch bowl drinks were a fun addition. The staff was all wonderful to work with, from the event planning to the onsite execution, everything was easy and smooth. Thank you for a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back should we return to Cape Town!
