A local coffee shop that does the basics right. The flat white I ordered was well proportioned and the coffee was treated with care. The highlight was the team who were friendly and also really helpful in recommending places to see and visit in Cape Town

Friendly staff...good coffee.. a variety of large and small bags of Coffee Beans. I purchased a 'Kenya' blend to bring back to USA.. a very good price comPared to what i would have had to pay in USA. Chocolate Pain Pastry was also very tasty.

This is my morning go-to! Service always with a smile and when I get coffee early in the morning I get a free mini croissant. The eggy thingy is a quick breakfast egg and bacon muffin for just R15 which used to be my daily brekkie, then I started getting the salami and mozzarella sandwich which is about R38 if I'm not mistaken. The farm style pie is also a great lunch item and pepper steak filling is great even though the bottom is a tad bit soggy. My double decaf latte sets me back R28 which I never mind paying because the staff makes you feel comfortable and welcomed and the coffee is really good too. Not too strong and bitter, but bodied and good quality.

Convenient place to grab coffee after taking a walking tour. The walking tour meets here as well, so gets busy before and after tours. A free beverage is included with the purchase of a bag of coffee beans. Friendly staff. USB charging ports and AC adapter units at every table.

I picked up some beans from this coffee shop twice because they were so great. I picked up a large bag to take back home with me since I’m visiting from out of town. The staff was super friendly and hopeful, and the coffee is delicious!

After a big lunch we needed a great coffee, from the outside the place seemed nice and actually it was! A really nice barman made us an Amarula Coffee, maybe bit strong since it was 2:30pm but we are on holiday, who cares?! The coffee was perfect, really really good! Highly recommended!
