👍👍 Phillip is great and his quirky great coffee shop personalised attention and chats make for a fun visit in this neighbourhood. The shop is adjoined to a metal bender / crafter so there is plenty to keep the eye wandering and to be rempted for the 2nd cup. Really well worth the visit as he roasts his...

Moses Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 One of the best coffee spots in Cape Town. But what really sets Moses Coffee apart from the rest, is Moses himself. What a friendly and knowledgeable guy. I've visited a few times, and it's always been amazing. I've also bought beans from Moses, which have been equally as good in my home-espresso s...

👍👍 Joe, who took my order was incredibly polite, friendly and helpful. The epitome of great customer service, which this country generally lacks. The two sushi platters were very tasty and well presented. The only small thing that wasn't quite up to scratch was the wasabi which had very little heat to...

Pang Specialty Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 A coffee stop you will not regret making. Pang’s very personable and genuine nature helps you ‘feel at home’ while enjoying a great cup of specialty coffee. I would recommend trying it at least once. And you will ‘feel’ how different it is from any other coffee shop you have been to. It is a favori...

👍👍 By far THE best site to visit for all your coffee needs... After years of using my Bialetti Mocha Express to brew my morning fix, it finally stopped working. Browsing through the Cape Coffee Beans site I came across the replacements filter and funnel. A couple of clicks and a few days later the repl...

👍👍 One of my favorite haunts in Woodstock. The coffee is fantastic and roasted on the premises. I love the high seats near the window where one can do people watching and admire the buzz of Sir Lowry Road. It is tastefully decorated and the baristas have only been kind to me. It is across the street fr...

It was beautifully prepared with tender bits of beef in a creamy, garlic infus...
