Pulled from our Amber house blend, chocolatey, low-acid, and built for milk. Ask for the single-origin guest if you want something brighter.

A latte with rosetta art

Every milk, one price.

Honey Oat Flat White Popular R42 Steamed oat milk and a thread of local honey. Comfort in a cup.
Cappuccino R38 Equal parts espresso, milk and foam, dusted with cocoa.
Cortado R36 Espresso cut with a little warm milk. Small but mighty.

The Bakery

Everything on the counter was made this morning by hand. When it's gone, it's gone, so the early bird really does get the croissant.

A golden butter croissant

Baked before you're awake.

Butter Croissant R32 Laminated over three days, baked deep golden. Flaky in all the right places.
Almond Butter Croissant Popular R38 Twice-baked with frangipane and toasted almonds. Sells out most mornings.
Pain au Chocolat R36 Two batons of dark chocolate folded into buttery pastry.
Buttermilk Scone R34 Served warm with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
Carrot & Walnut Cake R46 Three layers, cream-cheese frosting, a proper doorstop of a slice.
Banana Bread V R36 Toasted and buttered on the flat-top. Vegan and quietly excellent.
Flourless Choc Brownie GF R40 Dense, fudgy and gluten-free. Warm it up for an extra R6.
