Selections Cafe, Umdloti Beach
Updated
Selections Cafe & Shop, the small healthy-food cafe at Umdloti Centre on South Beach Road, has closed. Seattle Coffee Company now trades from the unit.
Selections Cafe & Shop is a small cafe across from South Beach in Umdloti, known for healthy food and drinks: smoothies, vegan ice-cream, muffins, brownies and a well-regarded cortado, per its Tripadvisor reviews. It is rated 5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, ranked twelfth of sixteen restaurants tagged to the Umdloti area, and is noted as pet-friendly.
The “across from South Beach” positioning ties it loosely to Selection Beach, though this page keeps the area tag as Umdloti Beach rather than stating a precise street address, since none was independently confirmed during research. Its Facebook page (facebook.com/selectionsza) is the current best source for updates, since no dedicated website, phone number or published opening hours were found.
The “healthy food” descriptor sets it apart from most of the seafood, Italian and fast-food-leaning venues covered elsewhere in this guide, and its high review rating suggests a well-regarded, if lower-volume, local spot rather than a destination restaurant.
Given the remaining gaps in sourced detail, a direct call or an up-to-date Google Maps listing check is the sensible route before planning a visit around specific hours.
For cafes in Umdloti with more confirmed detail, see FOAM and Caffe Java. For more on the beach the name likely references, see Selection Beach.
This venue has closed. Closed. Seattle Coffee Company now trades from this unit. Confirmed locally by the site owner, September 2026. The space is now seattle coffee umdloti.

I've been frequenting Selections for the past few years whenever I'm in town. When I have guests visiting I always recommend they stop in for a coffee. I am happy to report that the quality and service has been consistently excellent throughout the few years. Right across from So...

They remember me and my consistent order of five roses tea. Once they even made a heart on top with frothy milk, a world first! Good quality and value, wonderful to visit after a surf or walk. Highly recommended.
