All-day dining, deliciously good

Mornings at The Square begin with a legendary breakfast buffet, with traditional favourites, creative healthy options, the freshest in-house juices, and bread and baked goods still warm from the oven. By lunch and dinner, the mood shifts as the menu showcases seasonal ingredients and modern takes on classic mains.

Abundant, honest, always from the heart

Our food philosophy is about being abundant in your approach. Use whole food. Know where it comes from. Be seasonal, be local. Choose sustainability over convenience. And always, always serve with heart.

Whatever the weather, Long Cafe at The Vineyard ticks the boxes—freshly-roasted coffees from around the world, the best pastries in the ‘burbs, moreish bagels, and comforting breakfast favourites right here in Newlands.
