A spiritual quest took me to Baraka gifts.
What a delight it was to receive a personal video from Gavin and staff which I could choose my 1st singing bowl from the other coastal side of SA.
It has been a pleasure and a marvelous experience. To Gavin and staff, your time and consideration has been greatly appreciated, may the store grow from strength to strength during these interesting times.
I look forward to meeting you.
Much love and meditation blessingsresponse / report this review -

The BEST South African gift shop. I discovered it yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. Well thought out gift selections, not cheesy , just cool and funky. Had to exchange something today- an effortless transaction. Kid’s loved it too! Thanks for a great shopping experience. Gavin is a pleasure to deal with.

I had the most amazing gift service experience ever with Baraka Gifts and Decor!!!! Their staff is the most attentive team I have ever come across and went out of their way to make sure that a birthday gift that I ordered with them was to my complete satisfaction! They went above and beyond what was expected and that I was absolutely happy with the order and that it was to my exact request! Derrick the owner responded to my enquiry almost immediately (on a Sunday evening) and responded to each and every one of my emails. If you're looking for a gift shop/service with a WOW factor then Baraka Gifts and Decor is the one!!! Thanks a mil! Very happy customer!😀

Great shop with lots of choices from local and African artists. Prices are incredibly fair and the sales staff is helpful and knowledgeable without ever being pushy.
Can't rave enough about this great treasure.

You can find really cool Funky Fun Handmade Gifts at this shop! Also a big poster range, from movies all the way to Cape Town surf posters. It is always changing and interesting. Very full so you would need some time! One of the few shops in Cape Town where you can buy a genuine Panama Hat! Uber cool and I love the vibe always sick tunes playin' :-)

I was here today to buy gifts for my family. I was looking for days for authentic and handcrafted souvenirs but was mainly disappointed. Greenmarket square and the area around seemed to offer mass produced things made in China. But then I entered Baraka today and I was positively surprised!
SO MANY things and very helpful staff! I bought presents for all family members and had to restrict myself. Hahaha I could have bought the whole shop! Wine bottle openers with wild hog teeth, beautiful wristbands and necklaces but also some nerdy things can be found here. I really recommend coming here when you want to have authentic things from South Africa. And this shop has something for every budget in my opinion. Of course, there are pricey objects but we should keep in mind that those are handcrafted and such work deserves appreciation.
I also got the hint that tourists can get 12 of the 14% taxes at the airport back. Very useful advice! You can see and feel that this shop is made and operated with love. Well done!response / report this review -

We really loved this beautifully curated gift shop! It has so much atmosphere when you walk into the shop it is like walking into a treasure trove. so much to choose from. It is original and mostly locally made gifts.
We found the prices reasonable and there are a big variety to choose from. We found cool movie posters, leather journals, handmade spoons made of shell and driftwood andvery cool Star War clocks and coasters! Super fun shop and friendly owners!response / report this review -

This is a world class store with everything you could possible wish to find! It is in a wonderful location with easy parking and lovely little restaurants nearby. The owners are always amazingly helpful and kind, and they choose such brilliant items that I always find something perfect for friends and family, no matter what the occasion. These guys have the best taste in town, they have made their store a treasure trove. Best of all, shopping there is inspiring and uplifting, I always leave somehow feeling better about life! I think it is their great hospitality and customer service and also the joy of discovering the new items they have found. 10/10 to Baraka Gifts. Highly recommend.

Baraka is a gem of a find :-)
It is beautifully curated, with locally handmade gifts to suit all pockets. They have a huge selection of gifts from jewelery, leather journals, handbags, posters, sarongs, scarves, art, ceramics and up-cycled decor pieces like the unique lights made out of vintage cameras.
Cool vibe in the shop with up-beat music playing and very friendly assistance.
I got all my gifts here!
It is a must see when visiting Cape Town!response / report this review
