"Slurping on Smoothies from Uncle Merv Uncle Merv's Original Shakes makes some killer smoothies, all with non-dairy milk bases. My favourite would have to be the Macci-Porter, a delicious blend of Tahini, Dates, Cashew nuts, Banana, Honey and Soy Milk. Grab a sarmie (sandwich) or a croissant and a coffee or smothie and plant your bum at the nice, long table under the tree to do a bit of people watching on a Sunday. Or if you're feeling tender ffrom a big party the night before, you can order a health breakfast and recover in the sun The sidewalk shop is situated next to the Infor'motion Station in Fox Street"
Great coffee with very welcoming service. Great spot to people watch too. Check out the art next door while you wait.

Been visiting Uncle Merv’s for some time now for some coffee and sandwiches. My favorite by far is the Tuna Sandwich.
Firstly, the price of the Tuna might scare you but the quality is exceptional. The ingredients are high quality, and it takes some time to prepare due to the artistic process it takes to make the masterpiece. So it’s worth every Rand.
The ambiance is great, the shop is situated at one of the busiest corners in Maboneng so the vibe is always fantastic. The service is great, it’s personal as Bongs makes sure to engage and know his customers well.
I would recommend anyone to visit the place.

Great place to stop for a quick coffee or milkshake, they also have pretty good crushers.
The pastries left out in the open was a little questionable, but the café's setup is great and blends into the market on main really well.
Would recommend for a quick stop or a takeaway drink.

Ok coffee
The coffee is just OK.
You can probably find better coffee around in the area. For a capuchino I paid 40 rand, so also not the cheapest.
The good thing of the place is that it has place to sit outside (no place índice and no toilet). Also some nice pastries, smoothies, croissants, sandwiches and omelets.

Uncle Merv’s is the spot to meet and grab a quick coffee or sandwich as we did before heading off on a Past Experiences tour of Maboneng this time to experience all the street art.
