Here’s a list of our favourite coffee spots in Joburg:
Father Coffee
Father coffee situated in Braamfontein claims to have the best coffee in Joburg – and we kind of have to agree. Their small roastery and expresso bar produces the finest quality coffee. Their Heirloom blend is smooth and full of flavour with hints of berries, nut and dark chocolate. Whether you’re hitting the streets of Braamies for a quick browse around their shopping district or making your way to Neighbourgoods market, Father is the perfect spot for a coffee on the go. And if Braamfontein is too far a drive, then head on over to their Rosebank branch in The Zone. www.fathercoffee.co.za

Naked Coffee
Another firm favourite for coffee fans, Naked Coffee in Melrose Arch prides themselves in serving their customers organic, freshly grounded, handmade coffee. The service is always pleasant and they even offer delicious treats like their white chocolate and cashew nut blondie or their canelé – a small French pastry filled with custard that’s simply put, out of this world. Stay tuned for their kitchen & coffee bar launching in Morningside shopping centre very soon! Follow Naked Coffee on Instagram

4th Avenue Coffee Roasters
4th Avenue in Parkhurst features a secret house blend that is hand-roasted, complex and full-bodied. In fact, this boutique coffee roastery has become a regular hangout place for locals and those residing in Parkhurst. They also serve a variety of small breakfasts as well as freshly baked goodies so you’re bound to find something to snack on while you wait for your coffee to brew. www.4thavenuecoffee.co.za
The Grind Coffee Company
The Grind in Melrose Arch pride themselves in serving the perfect cup of joe – and these guys know a thing or two about coffee. The baristas are warm and friendly, the coffee is rich and tasty and they make guilty-free baked treats on a daily basis. So if you’re feeling for something sweet without the added calories, try their gluten-free, sugar-free banana bread served with almond butter and honey. For those willing to take the risk, their coffee in a cone is a definite must! Follow The Grind on Instagram
