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.

The Shawlands roastery that treats every cup as a profile decision.

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.

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.

Dnisi★★ Specialty

A family roastery that has been in Shawlands since 2004. The rotating named single-origin programme is what gives regulars a reason to keep coming back.
