Caxton magazines staffStarbucks might be coming to SA next year, but we’ll still be supporting local. Digital ed Carina Claassens rounds up four of our favourite coffee shops in Jo’burg. Whether you want your cuppa to go or spend hours taking in the atmosphere – here they are
FATHER COFFEE, BRAAMFONTEIN
Drink: A Cortado.
It’s basically a short flat-white, meaning the ratio of textured milk to espresso is much tighter resulting in a more flavourful coffee.
Where to find them:
Shop 2, 73 Juta St, Braamfontein
082 513 4258
MOTHERLAND COFFEE CO, DUNKELD
Drink: The Dictator.
One of their signature drinks, it’s an espresso with condensed milk, whipped cream and chocolate shavings. It’s a sugar and caffeine hit with the tag line “make the day obey you”.
Where to find them:
Dunkeld West Shopping Centre, Corner Bompas Road and Jan Smuts Ave, Dunkeld
011 325 2324
AFRICABLACK, NORTHRIDING
Where to find them:
Northlands Corner Shopping Centre, Corner Witkoppen and New Market Road, Randburg

PRIEST ESPRESSOBAR, ROSEBANK
