My boyfriend and I did the three hour barista class with Winston! It was such an amazing coffee experience! We loved it so much and highly recommend it: great venue, friendly staff, beautiful design, delicious coffee, fantastic trainer, free coffee perks, good learning, fun morning and we left with some serious coffee accessory envy :) Well done Origin and Winston! We might come back for the one on one full day course :)
Wonderful coffee, great service! I bought a few types of beans online, and they are superb! Balanced, clean cup! All the questions I asked about the roasting were answered professionally and to the point! Thank you so much! I am, definitely, your new customer :)
Cosy ambiance. Friendly staff. Great location. Second time back @ Origin. First time I had the eggs benedict when they served it on spinach & big brown mushrooms. Delicious but sadly no longer on the menu. Opted to try the Vietnamese Pork Noodle Bowl.. and was absolutely blown away. The flavour fusion was spot on. One of the tastiest meals I've had out in a while. Hubby was also blown away. We will be back.

Coffee done right!!! Great morning hangout spot... toasted bagel with a thick smear of cream cheese hit the spot and fortina cheese sandwich ain’t so bad either...
stoked to be sitting Origin Coffee Roasting today, it was my very first time . I always wanted to go ,but the place is always packed. I managed to get in today ,super worth the wait. I experienced one good morning. totally friendly crowd and everything was just wonderful. I enjoyed the food and my matcha cuppa. Amazing to see how coffee was being brewed and how many different choices I had. wow!! super worth the wait. I can't wait to try out your other foods and coffee soon. very soon.
Now I'll always love this place because this is where I met my partner, I remember choosing a loose leaf tea and then waiting for the timer for it to "soak", the smell of coffee, the cuteness of the place :)
Lovely setting with really delicious wholesome food.
I had a Vietnamese Coffee and fried eggs with croissants and it was delicious.
Service was a bit slow but it was a public holiday and extremely full so I suppose that's an exception.
Recommend for a good breakfast/Brunch.
Love the deco, service sometimes is up and down but croissants are good and if you manage to find the right blend with the proper extraction method coffee is really good. They probably offer the widest options on coffees all over ct
A good insight into coffee roasting and different types of coffees around the world. The tasting was a good experience. Not only taste but smell, sight and insight. They have the best coffee and pastries!
Staff really knows their stuff. Very friendly, and and they make an excellent cup of coffee. Well worth a visit. There's a reason some of SA's top Baristas work here
Well done you guys. For what you are trying to do I can't fault you. Great coffee, interesting, tasty and innovative menu and great service. And all quite affordable. One of my favorites and not only because it's close to where we live...
This place does a mean breakfast! I can understand why it's close to impossible to find a table on weekend mornings (be sure to book!). Along with my breakfast I ordered a Siphon coffee - I was looking for something strong to wake me up. It was good coffee, but the brew was way too strong for me. Their teas are also beautifully presented and they have quite a large variety that one normally only finds at tea houses or high-teas. Will definitely return.
Really cool moody spot. Great for breakfast and brunch. Trendy yet family friendly. Fantastic coffee!! Best BLAT bagel and “corrected coffees”!
Although the staff is pleasant, the service is pretty average.
Might be one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Although simple and unpretentious - eggs classics, it is close to perfect. The bread is fresh out of the oven, thick cut with so much flavour, soft with crunchy crust easy to cut through... The bagels, also fresh out of the oven, are just amazing.
The ladies doing the service are great, the guy managing the seating was a bit rude and nosy, but not important enough to lower the 5star rating for this place.
Wow! What a great café.
The roasts are extra ordinary.
And the food is really well made.
I would recommend this place to any specialty coffee lover.
We had breakfast today and this is my rating:
1- Pastel De Nata 9/10
2- Almond Croissant 5/10
3- Warm Oat Bowl 7/10
4- French Toast 6/10
5- Croissants with Scrambled eggs 7.5/10
6- Omelette with mushrooms, cheese and onion 8/10
7- Pour Over coffee 8.5/10
8- Matcha Latte 5/10
The service was very good
Our waiter was Thando 👍
Great place to have coffee. Vibes are amazing. Had a coffee and croissant while I was in the area. Service was quick, food was good. An incentive to visit again with a bigger group. Would recommend to all caffeine lovers
Edit: Went there again on a morning last weekend, ground floor for busy hence made myself comfortable on the first floor table which also is a workplace for the roasters, packaging staff etc. Tried their Vaccum pour V60/64 which smelled strong but tasted mild with mostly fruity notes, I loved it and it is something that two people can easily share. Also had plain omelet with sourdough bread, it was one of the most delicious breakfast I had, not sure what went into the preparation for the Omelet but I would definitely recommend you try it whenever you're here for breakfast. Again a wonderful experience, I'm revising my rating from 4 to 5 stars as it has been an overall amazing experience in the couple of visits I've been here.
This spot in Cape Town is truly one of my favourites for coffee. It has a fantastic ambience and cosy seating, making it perfect for students and laptop users. I wholeheartedly recommend it. My go-to drinks are Americano and V60, and they're delicious. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I had the pleasure of meeting Fiki, one of the staff members, and we instantly became friends. Her professionalism stood out as she guided me through some excellent coffee grinder options to buy for home use.
Great place for coffee and brunch.
+ the almond croissant was delicious. My boyfriend had the mushroom toast and it is now one of his favorite breakfast/brunch dishes
+ coffee was really good
+ the place looks nice and cozy and the waiters were very friendly
Note: it took a bit longer to get the food compared to other brunch places in Cape Town. About 25 minutes I think so it was really ok, but probably not the best if you are in a hurry.
Note: if you want to work from here, their policy recommends to keep the laptop time under 60 minutes. Not a clue if they enforce this somehow, but just something to keep in mind maybe.
Good coffee, amazing breakfast and brunch. I tried several things, they were all so good! My favorite so far were the Turkish eggs, but the Shakshuka and the omelette are also very good. I love the location and the staff, always so kind!
Great architecture and ambiance between old architectural building and modern coffee shop. I love popping here usually for a takeaway but it so worth taking in the aromas and hanging around indoors to take in the ambiance of this trendy Coffee joint.
Great place for coffee and brunch. They have v60s with different types of beans (went for Ethiopia and didn't regret it). The architecture of the building is cool too
