The CCID wishes these new businesses all the best in the Central City. We also chatted to the manager of one of them in our autumn issue of City Views to find out more about what this venue will bring to the Central City.

Q&A WITH NICHOLAS ESTERHUIZEN, CO-OWNER OF THE LADDER
Above: Nicholas and Anastasia Esterhuizen, Co-owners of The Ladder - Artists studio and coffee shop
Tell us about The Ladder?
The Ladder is a working artist’s studio where Anastasia and I practise our crafts of stained glass and ceramics, and also offer various courses in the applied arts. The studio also features a coffee shop where we share our love of artisan coffee and hospitality.
What sets The Ladder apart?
We strive to make people relax and feel welcome. We have a children’s play area to give moms and dads a place to unwind during their daily fix, something that’s unusual for the Central City. As the venue functions as an art studio, it means guests at The Ladder can be a part of the work being created on-site.
What do you make of our downtown?
Central Cape Town attracts people from other parts of the city, and for us, we hope that our art and coffee will encourage them to appreciate the love of beauty, hospitality and great coffee.
