Cafe, Coffee Shop, Pizza, Bakery, Breakfast & Brunch · Wilderness · RR
Tucked into Timberlake Village along the N2 between George and Knysna, Naughty Monkey Cafe has become a favourite pit stop for locals and travellers alike. The relaxed outdoor seating area creates a welcoming garden atmosphere where families, cyclists, and road-trippers gather for proper breakfasts, freshly baked goods, and wood-fired pizzas that emerge crispy and generous from the oven.
The menu covers all the bases—from full English breakfasts and healthier options to sandwiches, burgers, and their popular pizzas. The coffee is consistently good, and the bakery counter tempts with fresh breads and sweet treats. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a second cup or grab something quick for the road.
Conveniently located just off the highway near Wilderness, it's an easy stop whether you're heading to the beach, exploring the Garden Route, or just need a decent meal in comfortable surroundings. The friendly service and reliably good food explain why it's earned such a loyal following.
