What we love

  • •Consistently well-made espresso, with bean character that repeat visitors notice
  • •Khutso, named by regulars as the reason the coffee lands
  • •Cinnamon bun is a genuine draw, not background pastry
  • •Regulars arrive having tried elsewhere; this is where comparative coffee-seekers tend to stop looking

Cedar Hatch★★★ Purist

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.

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.
