Nestled on bustling Kloof Street, Egghead Diner transports guests to a vibrant 70s-era diner right in the heart of Cape Town.
Designed by KT-Interior, this retro-inspired eatery celebrates nostalgic charm with an irresistible twist, weaving in warm hues and playful textures that make each visit feel like a step back in time.
The color scheme, a tribute to the iconic egg, features sunny golden yellows, crisp whites, rich creams, and hints of black and green. These shades bring a sense of warmth, homeliness, and familiarity, creating a cozy space where nostalgia meets contemporary flair.
Wooden cladding, opaque glass decals, and buttery yellow booths form the diner’s backbone, complemented by black-and-white tiled floors, curved edges, and eclectic details like Bauhaus-inspired art and playful neon lighting. Decorative wallpaper and beaded curtains add another layer of personality, making it a space filled with fun visual surprises.
Guests can choose their vibe—grab a high-top counter seat for a view into the kitchen, settle into a cozy booth, or enjoy the outdoor curbside tables, perfect for people-watching against the backdrop of Table Mountain. With its nostalgic ambiance, Egghead Diner is as much a feast for the senses as it is a celebration of retro style, where every detail captures the spirit of Cape Town’s ever-trendy Kloof Street.
