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.

    We chose Cause | Effect as the venue for my sister's kitchen tea, and could not have been more content with everything from the booking to the service. Highly recommend visiting for a lovely breakfast (and mimosas that keep coming) and friendly service. Will definitely be back. Big thanks to Angel for accommodating us, and to Nomusa for the great service on the day.
