Minard Rd0.1 mi from Shawlands centrelast reviewed June 2026

A Shawlands Japanese cafe with pour-over on the menu and a house blend chosen for character. The aesthetic is the draw; the coffee fits the room.

A Shawlands counter where the coffee is chosen as carefully as the aesthetic.

Pour-over

What we love

  • Pour-over on the menu, not the default call for a food-led neighbourhood cafe
  • House blend runs sweet; the profile is a deliberate choice, not a cost decision
  • Matcha alongside coffee, consistent with a genuine Japanese cafe identity
  • Strong local following on the Southside

Frankie Coffee★★ Specialty

A plant-based espresso bar in Shawlands that runs an Antipodean menu and knows why each item is on it. Order the magic.

Spider Monkey Coffee Southside★★ Specialty

A roastery-backed café in Shawlands where the coffee knowledge runs deeper than the postcode suggests. The southside stop for anyone who cares what ends up in the cup.

Toro Coffee★★ Specialty

Rotating guest roasters with the espresso changing weekly and filter every day or two. The tasting notes are on the menu for a reason: this is a coffee bar where the sourcing is the point.
