Our Story
South Yeaster Bakery is an artisanal sourdough bakery run by a brother-
and-sister team, Brode and Amber. What some might call "humble beginnings", they prefer to call "flowing with the times".
Both trained chefs, they set out on separate paths through the
international culinary world.
But the French and German winters were too cold for Brode, and the UAE was too hot for Amber, so they found their way back to home soil - amazing Cape Town, and decided to build their dream out of trying times in 2020.
Today, South Yeaster has grown into a community hub, a Saturday morning ritual for cyclists and runners who make it their perfect pit stop. Tucked into Hout Bay,
at the foot of Chapman's Peak and surrounded by mountains, it's the kind of spot where you slow down for a coffee, catch up with familiar faces, and grab your bread for the week, all in one perfect outing.
The Mission
Local produce is the cornerstone of our bakery. Amongst our many ingredients, flour is, of course, central, and understanding its journey and character is pivotal in creating exceptional artisanal sourdough breads and pastries.
Our core value is knowledge, which allows us to make conscious and ethical decisions after researching our ingredients. It also helps us create the products we'd love to eat ourselves and share with our customers.
With that knowledge behind us, we use our own hands to craft small batches of naturally leavened breads and pastries for your delight. Our community has helped shape what we envisioned, and that was always part of our vision too.
Specialty Coffee Poured Well
A good bakery deserves a good cup of coffee, and we take ours seriously.
Our coffee is a special roast from Flat Mountain Coffee Roasters.
The house roast is smooth, balanced, and made to be enjoyed slowly, whether you're stopping in for five minutes or settling in for the morning.
