Cake Canteen is redefining how South Africa experiences cake. As the world’s first multi-bakery slice shop, Cake Canteen brings together the country’s most loved bakers and artisan creators under one roof. The result? A curated selection of premium slices, each baked by a different collaborating baker and fully credited to its creator.
Jandri van Zyl founded Cake Canteen after over 15 years of experience in the cake and confectionery industry. Is there anyone alive who doesn't love cake? Jandri believes it's time to give the local baking industry the platform it truly deserves.
Instead of competing for shelf space, Cake Canteen celebrates each baker individually. Every slice tells a different story, and every baker is spotlighted. It's collaboration over competition, creating a space where independent bakers can grow, shine, and reach new audiences.
Located inside HAUS showrooms across Cape Town and Johannesburg, Cake Canteen pairs inspiring design spaces with a joyful cake experience. Stores serve a wide variety ofslices, seasonal specials, savouries, and speciality coffee. Each visit is a moment of beauty, indulgence, and discovery.
Cake Canteen continues to expand with new stores, national collaborations, and innovative product ranges. The mission remains clear: elevate South Africa’s cake industry and empower small creators. Magic, creativity, and community come together every day, and it all happens through cake.
