10 Best Coffee Shops in Cape Town

"Canadian Joel Singer opened this original home of artisanal coffee in Cape Town in 2006, and it remains one of the foremost breeding grounds of award-winning baristas. Origin’s HQ is an historic brick warehouse in trendy De Waterkant. Exposed red brick, original timber beams, high ceilings, and long, communal tables on two different levels add to the convivial warehouse charm. A minimum of eight single-origin coffees and a seasonal blend are served daily, and the very curious can sit at the brew bar and learn about alternative brew methods or ask questions." - Jane Broughton

One of the best coffee spots I've visited! The coffee is delicious and of excellent quality, and the breakfast was truly satisfying. I really appreciate places that respect others' cultures and needs — providing a bidet in the bathroom is a thoughtful and respectful touch. Highly recommended! I highly recommend this coffee shop to all Arab families visiting Cape Town دورات المياة اعزكم الله فيها شطاف

Origin Coffee Roasting ☕✨ I’ve been to Origin Coffee Roasting multiple times over the past six months, and here are my impressions and recommendations if you’re planning to visit: ✅ A paradise for coffee lovers – Origin offers a wide selection of beans and brewing methods, including Cold Brew, French Press, and Americano from the espresso machine. If, like me, you prefer a strong coffee with low acidity, I highly recommend telling the staff your coffee preferences – they’ll guide you to the perfect choice. There’s also a small coffee tasting experience, which I absolutely recommend! ✅ Take the coffee experience home – I once bought beans for my French Press and had them ground on-site to the perfect grind size. Great option if you want to enjoy quality coffee at home! 🥗 Great breakfast & light meals – If you’re looking for a healthy, high-protein meal, go for the green salad with feta, tomatoes, and chicken. The dressing is very light, and the chicken comes with a delicious dip. I also highly recommend the veggie omelet – perfect for a protein-packed start to the day! 🥐 Sweet treats for indulgence – If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you’ll love the freshly baked croissants, pastries, and sweet rolls. There’s something for every craving! 👨‍🍳 Open kitchen & homemade goodness – The open kitchen allows you to watch the chefs and bakers at work, making everything fresh in-house. A great touch that adds to the experience! 💯 Friendly & efficient service – The staff is super helpful, fast, and welcoming. Always a pleasure! If you love great coffee and delicious breakfasts/light lunches, Origin Coffee Roasting is a must-visit in Cape Town! 🌍✨

Origin Coffee in Cape Town is amazing! The coffee is really fresh and full of flavor. The shakshuka was delicious – rich, spicy, and cooked just right. Great place, friendly staff, and perfect for breakfast or brunch. SPECIAL THANKS TO BEAUTIFUL GIRL RUTENDO

Went to this cafe and it was such an amazing experience. One of the staff, Chipo (probably misspelled 🙏), was absolutely a delight. She was helpful, patient, and kind. I went there twice. The tea selection is great. The coffee is good and the one baked good I tried, the Tunisian orange cake, were delicious. I paired the cake with a hot latte, but I think it’s best with a black hot or iced coffee/cold brew. Anyway, this cafe is a must visit. Their coffees are used in other cafes, such as the one in the Time Out Market. Therefore, you know it’s good. Check them out! Chipo deserves a raise.

It's probably the best coffee experience I have ever had for a first visit. We were served by an amazing person who was so light-hearted, welcoming, and kind. The waited explained the different coffees and the way they are specifically brewed each bringing their own unique flavor. I ordered the flat white with a Rwandan roast and a white chocolate with cranberry cookie. The cold brew the person I was with was also exquisite. Would 10/10 recommend going out your way to give it a visit.

I enjoyed an avocado toast with sourdough bread that was incredibly chewy. The combination of tomatoes and pickled onions paired perfectly with the toast, making it delicious. The omelet was impressively large, which surprised me, though the taste was fairly standard—just fine! The coffee had a strong acidity and tasted quite sophisticated. I also tried the cheesecake, which had a unique flavor and was extremely smooth. Since I prefer a denser texture, I think it would taste even better served cold. The strawberry jam had a rich, homemade flavor, and I’d like to buy it separately next time. The staff was friendly, and the café was bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.

We went in hoping for great coffee, and that exactly what we got! I think what adds to the greatness is that they roast their own beans, have won awards and take pride in their coffee. They also have great breakfast options! And they serve it so quick. We never mentioned we were in a hurry, but it was like they could sense it. Great for an on the go stop, or longer visits.

Excellent service by Lovejoy. We didn’t just have lunch, it was a coffee “experience”. Great place to visit.
