Truth Coffee Roasting

Truth Coffee is an absolute must-visit. The place itself is incredibly cool with a unique, steampunk-inspired atmosphere, and the coffee is hands down the best in town. Service was great from start to finish, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was solid and satisfying. I had the Steampunk Florentine, which was excellent. Well balanced, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the coffee. It’s one of those places that truly lives up to the hype and delivers on every level.

This place really stands out with its architecture and overall aesthetics — super stylish, well thought out, and just a really nice space to be in. You notice the design straight away and it definitely adds to the experience. Service was great too. Everything was quick, smooth, and efficient, and the staff were on it without being overbearing, which is always appreciated. The food was good, although I do wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger, especially for the price. Big shoutout to the coffee though — easily one of the highlights. Properly made and seriously good. Overall, this is a must-go spot when you’re in Cape Town. Great vibes, great coffee, and an experience worth checking out.

★★★★★ Truth Coffee delivers a world-class coffee experience. Ordered the cortado—a clean 1:1 coffee-to-milk ratio—and it absolutelyj lands. Bold espresso, perfectly balanced milk, zero dilution. Flavor clarity is high, texture is spot on, and the finish is memorable. This is precision execution, not overworked coffee theater. If you value balance, craftsmanship, and taste that actually delivers, this one’s a benchmark.

Came from Saudi Arabia to visit Truth Coffee Roasting – it’s easy to see why it’s considered one of the best coffee shops in the world. The coffee is outstanding: perfectly roasted, rich and balanced. Pastries are fresh and delicious, the staff are exceptionally warm and welcoming, and the steampunk decor is truly unique. Well worth the trip! Highly recommend.

One of the lovely places on this planet. Outstanding interior, food (pastry and avocado toast) and coffee. Coffee roasting is light to medium (no dark Neapolitan roasting). Service quick and friendly. Cool people (locals and tourists) were here. Clear recommendation!

Really really great coffee, and the design, of course. My favorite was the Cortado. Best ever! The best time to visit is in the morning as they would have all the bakery stuffed. You may not get everything on the menu if you were to arrive in the late afternoon.

One of the best and most unique coffee shops we’ve visited. They offer an impressive variety of coffee beverages, and the food was delicious. The industrial-style interior adds to the experience, giving it an authentic coffee roastery vibe. Highly recommended!

The Coffee is a brilliant blend. Tastes great with a lot of depth. Food was disappointing. Well worth a visit as the interior does take you to the Steam Punk ear-a. The waiting staff used to dress up accordingly but at the last visit they were not dressed up only the Concierge. The Presentation of the burgers was the same as before but lack the tastiness of before. It was dry and tasteless
