Cedar Coffee Roasters put their café inside a CBD sneaker store on St Georges Mall. The pour-overs through a Timemore Crystal Eye Dripper are the best in Cape Town.

What we love

  • In-house roaster: Cedar Coffee Roasters, with retail beans to take away.
  • Manual brew methods: pour-over (Timemore Crystal Eye Dripper), AeroPress, and French press (Timemore U-Press).
  • Single-origin coffee throughout the menu.
  • Barista Georgia is one of the more knowledgeable in Cape Town; will talk you through the current origins.

Truth Coffee Roasting★★★ Purist

Truth roasts on-site and has earned a global reputation for it. This is the kind of cafe that makes everything you drink afterwards feel like a step down.

THE 777 COFFEE SHOP★★ Specialty

Ask for Abu Saqr and order the Colombian V60. Clean extraction, no bitterness, and at least one reviewer left the City Centre having changed their mind about pour-over.

Woodstock

Winston is a South African Barista Champion and roasts every bean in the cup. Order the Ethiopian anaerobic natural as a pour-over; it's what serious coffee travellers cite when asked for the best they've had.
