Best Cafes in Cape Town
The best cafes in Cape Town for specialty coffee, pastries, and that perfect work-from-anywhere vibe.
Best coffee spots in Cape Town
Truth Coffee Roasting
Regularly voted one of the world's best coffee shops. The steampunk interior is extraordinary — leather, brass, vintage machinery. The espresso is strong and the baristas are brilliant. A must-visit.
Origin Coffee Roasting
Cape Town's pioneering specialty roaster in De Waterkant. They source directly from East African farms and the roasting quality is exceptional. The cortado is the move — short, punchy, and sweet.
Rosetta Roastery
A small-batch roaster in Woodstock with a minimalist tasting room. Their single-origin filter coffees are outstanding — the seasonal Ethiopian washed is always a highlight. Serious coffee for serious nerds.
Jason Bakery
A beloved City Bowl bakery with legendary doughssants (doughnut-croissant hybrids) and excellent coffee. The savoury croissants with bacon and cheese are perfect breakfast fuel. Get there early — they sell out.
Deluxe Coffeeworks
A Cape Town roaster with multiple locations — the Kloof Street branch has the best vibe. Great flat whites, good food, and a reliable WiFi connection for remote workers.
Tribe Coffee
A huge roastery-cafe in Woodstock with an industrial interior. Watch beans being roasted while sipping an excellent pour-over. The brunch menu is solid and the space is laptop-friendly.
