😐 Good coffee, bit on the darker side. Also a bit pricey at R30 for a flat white, but it's in long street so maybe that's why. Beans were underwhelming. Was told that they were roasted a week ago, but they definitely didn't pull like they were. The grind was dry and they smelled slightly stale, like...

    Good coffee, bit on the darker side. Also a bit pricey at R30 for a flat white, but it's in long street so maybe that's why. Beans were underwhelming. Was told that they were roasted a week ago, but they definitely didn't pull like they were. The grind was dry and they smelled slightly stale, like closer to a month old. The roast date was not indicated on the packet, and it being there should be a given for any serious roastery. Would've been 4 stars if not for the disappointing beans experience.

    I'm writing to you because I feel like I've found a place where you can actually get the perfect coffee. It's called Kamili Coffee on Long street. They offer so many different types of coffee and the best part is that they will make it to your liking. The bartenders are really nice and they have a great energy. Don't forget try the fresh pastries, especially the TRADITIONAL BUTTERY FRENCH CROISSANTS, it will take you back to Paris for a moment.

    Really great place. Friendly staff on my two visits. Very clean space and good seating area. The food looked delicious but I only went for the latte. They offered a good cup. Solid 4 star quality for the whole experience.

    After a big lunch we needed a great coffee, from the outside the place seemed nice and actually it was! A really nice barman made us an Amarula Coffee, maybe bit strong since it was 2:30pm but we are on holiday, who cares?! The coffee was perfect, really really good! Highly recommended!

    Staff members are very friendly, service with a smile is guaranteed. The place it is situated in is very noisy so if you want a coffee in quiet place, Kamili is not the place.

    Lovely coffee shop that's making constant improvements. The only thing they're missing now is fresh orange juice (hint hint, Kamili).

    I was here for my morning caffeine kick on one weekday morning couple of month's back. Service was quick, capuccino was good. Barista was chatty in a good way. Overall a decent experience, this place has touristy vibes from the moment you enter.

  • 5/5 Fernanda 6 years ago on Google
    Awesome coffee! I had coffee beans, it was freshly grounded and super aromatic (Kenyan coffee). Not to mention the egg tart... Definitely a go for in the morning. Only probably is that there's no facilities in the coffee shop, you have to go in the shared area downstairs, and its not so comfortable.

  • 1/5 Roman M. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible customer service, racist at its best. The manager told me i can't be coming to this coffee shop because I'm black. He literally targeted me out of all people. The owner was just there watching it happen. Racist organization.

    Cute little cafe with super friendly and positive staff ☕️ We had a coffee and a sausage roll before jumping on the HOHO bus with the bus station right in front of the cafe

  • 1/5 Alexandra Afia A. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee in this coffee shop is not nice quality, today one more friend of mine told me the same , and he also mentioned that muffins were not fresh , how can you serve to tourists such kind of bakery and coffee which is too harsh .....I'm disappointed 😞

    Convenient place to grab coffee after taking a walking tour. The walking tour meets here as well, so gets busy before and after tours. A free beverage is included with the purchase of a bag of coffee beans. Friendly staff. USB charging ports and AC adapter units at every table.

    Prior to lockdown, Kamili was one of my go-to coffee places. It still is! In fact, they’re even better than before (as if that was possible). The baristas are so friendly and make you feel like family. The coffee is perfectly roasted and the taste is incredible. The pies there are nothing short of incredible too. I would highly recommend the spinach and feta pie or the pepper steak! As for their beans, the quality is great too! The roast is perfect for any coffee enthusiast.

  • 5/5 Nicole W. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my morning go-to! Service always with a smile and when I get coffee early in the morning I get a free mini croissant. The eggy thingy is a quick breakfast egg and bacon muffin for just R15 which used to be my daily brekkie, then I started getting the salami and mozzarella sandwich which is about R38 if I'm not mistaken. The farm style pie is also a great lunch item and pepper steak filling is great even though the bottom is a tad bit soggy. My double decaf latte sets me back R28 which I never mind paying because the staff makes you feel comfortable and welcomed and the coffee is really good too. Not too strong and bitter, but bodied and good quality.

    TLDR: This is a good coffee shop for all visitors — socializing, studying, etc. There are plugs, timed WiFi, and good coffee. This coffee shop is located on a corner in a decent neighborhood of Cape Town. They have a wide offering of good coffee, sweetening syrups, and dairy alternatives like almond milk. Kamili also bakes most of its pastries in house. The environment is very flexible. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There are tables with plugs, and a bar with stools (but no plugs). Kamili plays a light but lively soundtrack in the background. Whether you’re there to study (like I was) or chat with friends, Kamili will work for you. In exchange for a purchase, you get a free WiFi login. (I’m unsure if the WiFi has a time limit, but I believe it does.) The only downside for my visit was that the credit card terminal was not working the entire hour I was there. Fortunately, there is an ATM about a block down the street. Overall, I would recommend Kamili.

    Great selection of coffee. Love the Burundi beans they use for coffee. Also tried the Amarula coffee and the chocolate stick hot chocolate. It was delicious. We went back there again to try the flat white (loved it) the croissants were fresh and the the pepper steak pie was delicious😍

    It's mediocre. There are better coffee shops around. I had a stale croissant and the foam on my coffee wasn't good. It's joined to a red bus souvenir shop, and red bus stop, so it has this weird touristy vibe. Not really a place for locals, in my opinion

👍 The best thing about this place for me is the location and the interior decor . The ambience can go either way-Different strokes for different folks I went there for lunch on a sunny Friday afternoon, the terrace was packed and the service was okay but the food was underwhelming(or maybe my choices...
