Really cool moody spot. Great for breakfast and brunch. Trendy yet family friendly. Fantastic coffee!! Best BLAT bagel and “corrected coffees”!
Although the staff is pleasant, the service is pretty average.

Might be one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Although simple and unpretentious - eggs classics, it is close to perfect. The bread is fresh out of the oven, thick cut with so much flavour, soft with crunchy crust easy to cut through... The bagels, also fresh out of the oven, are just amazing.
The ladies doing the service are great, the guy managing the seating was a bit rude and nosy, but not important enough to lower the 5star rating for this place.

Wow! What a great café.
The roasts are extra ordinary.
And the food is really well made.
I would recommend this place to any specialty coffee lover.

This spot in Cape Town is truly one of my favourites for coffee. It has a fantastic ambience and cosy seating, making it perfect for students and laptop users. I wholeheartedly recommend it. My go-to drinks are Americano and V60, and they're delicious. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I had the pleasure of meeting Fiki, one of the staff members, and we instantly became friends. Her professionalism stood out as she guided me through some excellent coffee grinder options to buy for home use.

Great place to have coffee. Vibes are amazing. Had a coffee and croissant while I was in the area. Service was quick, food was good. An incentive to visit again with a bigger group. Would recommend to all caffeine lovers
Edit: Went there again on a morning last weekend, ground floor for busy hence made myself comfortable on the first floor table which also is a workplace for the roasters, packaging staff etc. Tried their Vaccum pour V60/64 which smelled strong but tasted mild with mostly fruity notes, I loved it and it is something that two people can easily share. Also had plain omelet with sourdough bread, it was one of the most delicious breakfast I had, not sure what went into the preparation for the Omelet but I would definitely recommend you try it whenever you're here for breakfast. Again a wonderful experience, I'm revising my rating from 4 to 5 stars as it has been an overall amazing experience in the couple of visits I've been here.

Good coffee, amazing breakfast and brunch. I tried several things, they were all so good! My favorite so far were the Turkish eggs, but the Shakshuka and the omelette are also very good. I love the location and the staff, always so kind!
Great place for coffee and brunch.
+ the almond croissant was delicious. My boyfriend had the mushroom toast and it is now one of his favorite breakfast/brunch dishes
+ coffee was really good
+ the place looks nice and cozy and the waiters were very friendly
Note: it took a bit longer to get the food compared to other brunch places in Cape Town. About 25 minutes I think so it was really ok, but probably not the best if you are in a hurry.
Note: if you want to work from here, their policy recommends to keep the laptop time under 60 minutes. Not a clue if they enforce this somehow, but just something to keep in mind maybe.
