Saltmarket Coffee | Specialty coffee and breakfast, Bree Street, Cape Town

Morning light does half the work.

We roast in small batches so every bag is fresh by the time it reaches the bar. By eight the sun clears the buildings and runs the length of the long table, and from the back window Table Mountain is right there waiting.

Pull up a stool, ask what’s on filter, and take your time. Nobody is rushing you out the door.
