"Life Is Too Short for Bad Coffee - So Why Drink It?!"

I am a lover of coffee, perhaps a coffee- junkie is the better term - you could say that coffee is my Happy Place! I guess you can also call me a "coffee snob" - I will only drink 'proper coffee', no instant for me and the stronger the espresso, the better. I even went as far as buying my own Lavazza coffee machine, to satisfy my need! So in the interests of purveying fine coffee, I thought I would do a bit of research to establish the popular Cape Town coffee hang outs, of some of my readers.

So whether it is for a quick cuppa on the run (“with wings”) or a morning out with friends, enjoying a cappuccino and a delicious pastry, there is a place for everyone! Some I have had the pleasure of visiting, some I have not, but I am sure I will work my way there.

In no particular order, well actually alphabetical for convenience, these are the coffee spots that are trending in Cape Town at the moment:

Origin Coffee Roasting Cafe – 28 Hudson Street | De Waterkant | Cape Town | 021 421 1000

Seattle Coffee Co.– Constantia Village *(This is my fav for a quick Cappuccino on the run)

vida e caffé– Shop 27c | Constantia Village | Constantia Road | Constantia | 021 794 3478

My favourites for various reasons are Knead Bakery, I love their almond croissants and The Food Barn Deli, because they make great coffee and it is in walking distance from my house! I know that all the vida e caffé's are extremely popular and they have stores countrywide. I have heard that both Deluxe Coffee Works and Origin Coffee Roasting Cafe make the best coffee - well I am going to have to pay them a visit and find out for myself! For something a bit more special than just a coffee you have to try tasha's, even their website puts me in a good mood! To quote their website "tasha's is a dynamic sensual journey of flavour set in lush interiors." - need I say more! You will have to experience it for yourself.

So if you are looking for something to do this weekend pop out and sample some of the finest coffee Cape Town has to offer. If there are any local favourites you would like to add to the list please leave a comment below this post.
