Kloof St0.3 mi from Gardens & Kloof Street centrelast reviewed April 2026

Espresso-forward and coffee-literate on one of Cape Town's better streets. The latte has made it someone's standing commute.

On Kloof Street for the coffee, not the view.

What we love

  • Named for espresso; coffee is the primary product, not the room
  • Latte drew a purposeful return visit from a coffee-aware regular
  • Milk alternatives available; surcharge applied, which is the specialty coffee tell
  • Kloof Street address, easy to fold into a detour or a morning commute
