Bach Background
A ‘Bach’ is small beach hut found on the coats of New Zealand and Australia.
The Bach brings cool beach vibes to East London.
We focus our menus on healthy, fresh produce and are a destination café for food intolerances and dietary requirements. We have an interesting set menu with dishes using kimchi, figs, mackerel and lots of eggs and avocado! And a changing counter menu that gives our chefs the freedom to create interesting and beautiful salads and Savory and sweet Bakes on a daily basis. Suggestions from all staff are always welcome!
We are very proud of our coffee and its’ quality; we use All Press Coffee Roasters to make the usual coffees and some others; turmeric lattes, matcha lattes etc. Our customers are loyal dog lovers, entrepreneurs, creatives and have become good friends. We do around 250-350 covers at peak times.
