ad idem café

"A Long Street hideout that keeps the espresso flowing even through loadshedding, with great toasties and the kind of warm, lived-in atmosphere that makes the city centre feel like a neighbourhood."

What we love

• •Espresso-focused menu with cappuccinos and iced lattes as the core offering
• •Manual espresso workflow, with the hiss and rattle of a properly run machine
• •Runs through loadshedding, gas-powered and committed to staying open
• •Independent, non-corporate feel with a named barista at the helm
