About
Truth Coffee Roasting is a quirky café in Cape Town's city centre housed in a distinctive steampunk setting of pipes and old metal. The café serves home-roasted gourmet coffee and a full menu of breakfast items including avocado toast, pastries and croissants, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Reviewers consistently praise the coffee quality, the friendly and welcoming staff, and the unique atmosphere. The space can get busy during peak times.
The café has WiFi and welcomes customers to spend time there, though little is documented about the suitability of the space for longer work sessions.
