Mochi Mochi is a playful and contemporary Japanese café in the heart of Cape Town, offering a vibrant yet versatile setting for film and photography. The space blends raw, urban character with minimalist design: exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, and visible timber beams create an industrial backdrop, while pale birchwood furniture introduces warmth and simplicity. Oversized air ducts and structural wooden columns add to the textured, atmospheric feel.

A standout feature is the bold anime-inspired mural at the entrance, bursting with colour and graphic energy – perfect for injecting a sense of youth, pop culture, and fun into a scene. Inside, the layout is open and flexible, with communal counters, tiered seating, and compact tables that allow for dynamic compositions. Large front windows pull in natural light, while ambient interior lighting creates a cosy, inviting mood.

Mochi Mochi is ideal for commercials, lifestyle content, interviews, and narrative shoots seeking a trendy, modern café setting that combines industrial edge with playful Japanese-inspired design.
