"Kasteel roasts the house blend in-house on Castle Street: dark chocolate and nut, traditional drum roasting. The City Centre doesn't have many cafes doing that."

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 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.
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.
