Every time I return to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/cape-town-safari\">Cape Town<\/a>, new cafe\u0301s have opened up all over the city. There\u2019s now so many great independent coffee shops in Cape Town; you are totally spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n<p>While the majority of coffee lovers flock to the old, hip suburb of Woodstock, there\u2019s been a growing trend of amazing spots in and around the CBD. I\u2019m fortunate enough to spend my days travelling the globe in search of the best coffee one can find. Here are my favourite coffee shops in Cape Town:<\/p>\n<h2>1. Origin Coffee Roasters<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BR0BmKcBAG2\/?taken-by=origincoffeesa<\/p>\n<p>From cold brew to pour overs to a classic flat white, coffee at Origin is always second to none (regardless of how busy they might be).\u00a0Something which many people are not aware of is Origin\u2019s emphasis on connecting with the coffee farmers that supply their roastery. Origin believe in working towards not just Fair-trade but a relationship model, where everyone in the process feels involved and benefit from an overall greater quality coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it such a special cafe\u0301? Origin is what it is because it&#8217;s filled with really great people. The baristas are not only knowledgable about coffee but are excited to share what they know with you. At the end of the day, they love coffee and for me, that is what makes a good cafe\u0301, great.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Quality coffee, ethical coffee sourcing, great people<\/p>\n<p><em>28 Hudson St, De Waterkant<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/originroasting.co.za\/v3\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h2>2.

It\u2019s on the expensive side for breakfast in Cape Town but it\u2019s a firm favourite and this place is always ridiculously busy and buzzing with locals.\u00a0It&#8217;s pretty rare to find somewhere with great coffee that seems to specialise in food. The barista&#8217;s are seriously knowledgable and super friendly, serving beans from Espresso Lab, a superb cafe\u0301 and roasters based in Woodstock. Ask for their coffee in a cone.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Expansive breakfast and lunch menus combined with great coffee<\/p>\n<p><em>90 Regent Rd, Sea Point<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jarryds.com\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h2>3.

Coffee is served at the highest quality and the baristas at Rosetta are more than happy to talk you through the different coffees and flavour combinations. Best known for their phrase, \u201cCoffees are orchids, not aspirins\u201d, the people at Rosetta are passionate about where they source their coffee and finding the best way to carefully extract the most flavour from each blend or bean. This is definitely a cafe\u0301 dedicated to perfecting the art of pour-over coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Incredibly talented, knowledgable baristas and roasters<\/p>\n<p><em>66 Albert Rd, Woodstock<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosettaroastery.com\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/africa-safari?action=DesignATrip&wId=001\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner \" data-entity-type=\"country\" data-country-id=\"10000000\">\n                    <figure><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/images\/affiliate\/timbuktu-general-african-safari.jpg?w=500&h=634&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center bottom data-country-id=\"10000000\" class=\"timbuktu_desktop_image\" alt=\"General Image\"><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/images\/affiliate\/timbuktu-general-african-safari.jpg?w=768&h=309&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=1&q=50&crop=center bottom data-country-id=\"10000000\" class=\"timbuktu_mobile_image\" alt=\"General Image\"><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Design your own trip<\/div>\n                        <span class=\"timbuktu_works\">Choose a destination, pick your properties and we'll do the rest<\/span>\n                        <div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Design a trip<\/div>\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>4.

It\u2019s no longer a \u2018means to an end\u2019 and there is finally a take-away bar in Cape Town that can compete with some of the best coffee shops in town. Uncle Bear is relatively new to the city and is without a doubt the smallest cafe\u0301 you\u2019ve ever seen but don\u2019t be mistaken; the standard of coffee will blow you away. The owner is super passionate about the coffee they serve and as word is spreading, this little bar is becoming increasingly popular &#8211; for a very good reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Best for: Takeaways<\/p>\n<p><em>112 Long street.

The Blue Cafe\u0301<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BWfOqdDF3AU\/?taken-by=bluecafe_<\/p>\n<p>A well kept secret of Cape Town, Blue Cafe\u0301 has actually been around a long time but I&#8217;ve only just discovered it. With long opening hours, even at weekends, it&#8217;s a great spot particularly if you don&#8217;t want to venture into town. Being situated up in Tamboerskloof, Blue Cafe\u0301 has the feel of an old neighbourhood cafe\u0301 which I really love. There&#8217;s nothing pretentious about it, just simple but well done coffee, food and delicious juices.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Local spot<\/p>\n<p><em>13 Brownlow Rd, Tamboerskloof<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebluecafe.co.za\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7. Jason Bakery<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BWjmkOujCGd\/?taken-by=jasonbakerybree<\/p>\n<p>I love Jason\u2019s. Like Jarryds, it\u2019s got a busy, \u2018hustle of the city\u2019 vibe and their focus is not in fact on coffee but on the bakery. Located in town, it\u2019s a popular spot post sunrise hike for one thing in particular: croissants. Their pastries are freshly baked every morning and have been known to sell out within hours of opening. It&#8217;s no wonder since they are without a doubt, the best pastries I&#8217;ve ever had. If you happen to visit on a Saturday, you&#8217;ll find anything from peanut butter and bacon croissants to Nutella &#8216;doughssants&#8217;. Do yourself a favour and try both.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Pastries<\/p>\n<p><em>185 Bree St, Cape Town City Centre<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jasonbakery.com\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h2>8.

I&#8217;ve come to realise that, as in most walks of life, first impressions make the world of difference in a coffee shop. At this cafe\u0301, you are sure to receive the warmest of welcomes from the minute you arrive. The cafe\u0301 doesn&#8217;t claim to have the best coffee in Cape Town but if you are looking for a great spot outside of the city centre where you can sit, work or read, this is a perfect option.<\/p>\n<p>Best for: Chilled, relaxed environment with super friendly and accommodating staff<\/p>\n<p><em>160 Strand St<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Groundartcaffe\/\">View coffee shop<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Written by Dan Carter<\/p>\n<p>Dan is a blogger, photographer and coffee\u00a0connoisseur from the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>South Africa is one of his favourite all time travel destinations, so it is no surprise he\u00a0knows all about the Mother City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>He shares his travel adventures with the world on <a href=\"http:\/\/dancarternow.com\/\">dancarternow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTRxnqIFF_D\/?taken-by=dancartertc<\/p>\n<div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/wizard\/start?action=StartTheWizard&wId=001\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner \" data-entity-type=\"country\" data-country-id=\"10000001\">\n                    <figure><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/images\/affiliate\/start-africa-safari-wizard-timbuktu-travel.jpg?w=500&h=634&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center center data-country-id=\"10000001\" class=\"timbuktu_desktop_image\" alt=\"Wizard Image\"><img src=https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/images\/affiliate\/start-africa-safari-wizard-timbuktu-travel.jpg?w=768&h=309&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=1&q=50&crop=center center data-country-id=\"10000001\" class=\"timbuktu_mobile_image\" alt=\"Wizard Image\"><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Not sure where to go?<\/div>\n                        <span class=\"timbuktu_works\">Answer a few simple questions to get instant trip recommendations<\/span>\n                        <div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Start the wizard<\/div>\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow the third wave of coffee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":3878,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[175,176],"tags":[134,1402,4169,1403,4168,3941,4167,4165,4162,1223,145,4163,93,4166,4164,3647],"class_list":["post-3728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outabout","category-top-10s","tag-cape-town","tag-coffee","tag-dan-carter","tag-experience","tag-ground-art-cafe","tag-jarryds","tag-jason-bakery","tag-loading-bay","tag-origin-coffee-roasters","tag-outabout","tag-pre-departure","tag-rosetta-roastery","tag-south-africa","tag-the-blue-cafe","tag-uncle-bear-coffee-company","tag-woodstock"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Explore the best coffee shops in Cape Town with blogger Dan Carter<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Mother City is home to some of the best third wave coffee around the globe.
