Hermanus's Quirkiest Teahouse
Book a high tea, drop in for something warm, or join us for an event. It's easygoing, a little unexpected, and built for lingering.

Gifts & Joy
In 2024, we started as a small gift shop tucked behind an art gallery. Today, Mr. Write is a café filled with second-hand books, coffee, proper tea, and sandwiches worth the wait.
Our story is guided by our mascot: a Maltese poodle who journeyed into space to find "Mr. Right." But after orbiting the stars, they noticed something: the cosmos is very big and very cold, and it notably lacks a good cup of tea.
They realised that "Mr. Right" isn't always a soulmate waiting to be found; it is the warmth of a room, the weight of a book, and the feeling of finally being home.
They traded the cosmos for this colourful, dimly lit corner that feels like the living room of a childhood home. We've kept it that way: a slightly random and very intentional place for community.
Join us and sit quietly with a book/laptop or loudly with friends! We hope you leave with that fuzzy feeling of having arrived exactly where you belong.
Live music, tea tastings, and quirky happenings - there's always something brewing.
Gather friends, celebrate small moments, or treat yourself - our high tea is best enjoyed with company. Choose a date, pick a package, and we'll have everything ready.
Reserve a TableTell us your mood. We'll prescribe the perfect brew. ☕

We'd love to see you! Pop in for a cuppa, give us a ring, or find us on socials. The door's always open (well, during trading hours at least 😉).
