Cape Town · 3 locations
Cape Town espresso brand with retail beans at the counter and baristas who treat the shot as the brief. Ristretto on the menu; filter is not.
Platō Coffee · 121 Kloof St
Kloof Street cafe where the baristas treat the process as the point. The drinks are better for it.
Platō Coffee · 120 Main Rd
Platō is a Cape Town brand that treats espresso as the point, not the product. Sea Point has its off days, but the calibration is there.
Platō Coffee · Corner Chiappini
The barista at this De Waterkant corner knows his coffee and will sell you a bag to take home. Solid espresso stop, no filter in sight.
