Hout Bay's coffee benchmark. The food is worth ordering too, which makes it the natural anchor for a morning in the area.

Cedar Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist
Woodstock

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

City Centre

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.
