Truth Coffee Roasting

The space had such a cool and funky vibe, with an atmosphere that felt effortlessly creative and relaxed. It was the kind of place where you immediately feel at ease, whether you are catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet solo brunch. The service was warm and attentive without ever being overbearing. The menu was full of interesting and tempting options that made it hard to choose. I ended up ordering the avo Benedict and was so glad I did. The eggs were perfectly poached with silky yolks, and the avocado was at that just-right stage of ripeness that is hard to come by. The tomatoes on the plate were bursting with flavor, so much so that I found myself wishing there had been more than just three. The topping on the Benedict was absolutely divine, adding a rich and flavorful finish to an already beautiful dish. If I had to pick one downside, it would be the bagel. It was on the chewy side and a little too flat, lacking that soft yet slightly crisp texture I had hoped for. My friend ordered the Power Oats, and with a drizzle of honey, they turned out to be a hearty and satisfying choice. The hot cocoa I had was rich but not overly sweet, which some people might love, though I personally prefer a touch more sugar. My friend's drip coffee was decent, not exceptional but still enjoyable. All in all, it was a wonderful experience in a charming spot with great food and a thoughtful menu. I would definitely come back and try more.

This coffee shop embodies a unique atmosphere enhanced by a welcoming staff! They offer a selection of exceptional coffee beans and specialty coffees. Additionally, their pastries are delightful, and the kitchen serves remarkable dishes. I savored the avocado toast with salmon, which was truly delicious. The plain croissant was also a wonderful treat. Their beans from Rwanda are extraordinary, boasting a remarkable taste that is hard to find elsewhere. We left with over a kilogram to bring that joy home with us😍

Hands down, the most epic coffee experience I've had in ages! The vibes were IMMEDIATE - cozy, trendy, and utterly Instagrammable. But what truly set this place apart was the hospitality. The staff hooked us up with board games, and we had a blast! The service was TOP NOTCH - attentive, friendly, and made us feel like regulars. The coffee? Perfectly brewed, of course! We left feeling energized and grinning from ear to ear. Can't wait to come back and do it all again! 10/10 would recommend

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2.5 stars) Visited Truth Coffee for a quick stop—ordered a coffee and hot chocolate which came to R108 (excluding tip). The vibe is definitely unique and it's cool that you can play board games while you’re there. However, the service was below average, especially considering the place wasn't busy. The coffee was just okay—at R60, it didn’t feel worth the price. It looked a lot better than it tasted. The hot chocolate was cold and watery at first, though they did replace it with a better one, but still nothing special. Would return more for the atmosphere than the drinks.

I have been coming to Truth Coffee for many years (even before the Best Coffee in the World title), and I have to commend them for consistency. Consistency in coffee, food and most importantly, service. I had the bacon and 3 cheese sandwich which was just delicious! It was this perfect mix of savory, salty and a tad sweet. Coffee was perfectly balanced and no, you really don’t need to add sugar. My friend and I were very happy all around. I only wish the lighting was 20% brighter. I get the whole steam punk thing, but it’s a bit too dark for us 40+ spectacle wearers ;)

Great tasting coffee, pastries and freshly baked goodies 😋 beans and other retail products can be purchased on premises. Industrial decor with great vibe, amazing service. Extensive menu options for sit down and take away. Ample seating for larger groups. Great spot, a Cape Town favourite ✨️

🌟 Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 ☕ Coffee: 5/5 Absolutely exceptional! 🔥 From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans hits you 👃☕. The flat white was smooth and rich 💯, and the Resurrection Blend had deep chocolate notes 🍫. Highly recommend trying their cold brew on a hot day 🧊. 🍽 Food: 5/5 The food is good, but not mind-blowing 😐. I tried the eggs benedict 🍳 — well-prepared but a bit small for the price 💸. The pastries 🥐 were fresh, but overall, food takes a backseat to the coffee experience here. 🛋 Atmosphere: 4.5/5 The steampunk interior is one of a kind! 🛠⚙️🔥 You feel like you’ve walked into a sci-fi film 🎥📽️. Lots of attention to detail — copper pipes, vintage machines, and dramatic lighting 💡. However, it can get loud and crowded during peak hours 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️🔊. 👥 Service: 5/5 Staff were generally friendly 😊, but service was a bit slow when it got busy 🕰️. That said, the baristas know their craft 👨‍🍳 and are happy to chat about the different blends and brewing methods 🧠☕. 💰 Value: 3/5 On the pricier side 💸 — especially for Cape Town standards 🇿🇦. You’re definitely paying for the vibe and uniqueness 🎭, not just the drink. Still, a cool place to take visitors or treat yourself 🌟. 📍 Location: 5/5 Right in the heart of Cape Town 🏙️, close to plenty of landmarks and walkable streets 🚶‍♂️📸. Parking nearby is manageable 🚗, especially in the morning. ⸻ ✅ Would I return? Definitely — especially for the coffee and the visual experience 🤩☕. Just aim to avoid the busiest times for a more relaxed vibe 😌.

Today we experienced more than just coffee—we experienced Truth. One of the best coffee shops we’ve ever been to, right here in Cape Town. The atmosphere, the coffee, the energy—absolutely unforgettable. Special thanks to Mathabo for making it all feel even more perfect!
