The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

Rosetta Roastery Cafe★★★ Purist

Rosetta has been roasting small-batch single-origins since 2010, the benchmark for specialty coffee in South Africa. The Bree Street counter is where you find out why.

Origin Coffee Roasting★★★ Purist

Cape Town's benchmark specialty roaster, and the standard every other cafe in the city gets measured against. Order whatever's rotating and trust the process.

Espressolab De Waterkant★★ Specialty

The De Waterkant neighbourhood has no shortage of serious coffee. Espresso Lab Microroasters has been roasting since 2009, and the locals here, surrounded by options, still rate it.
