Update 2: returned for breakfast and they had a coffee and breakfast bagel deal for R60! The bagel was enormous, stuffed full of yummy ingredients. It was definitely a winner!

Update: returned for a takeaway breakfast on the run. Heard so much about their coffee and just had to stop by for a cup. It’s really really good!! Got super tempted by the baked goods and added a bran muffin to my order. Wow! Warm, fresh out of the oven. Filled with raisins and nuts. Larger than life. And dare I say it may be better than my mom’s bran muffins (and I think she makes the best ones). Definitely increasing the scoring by 0.5 points.

Review 1: Wanted to pop by this little cafe for like forever, and somehow never got around to it. Well today I was adamant to make a lunchtime stop here.

I had initially opted for the veggie salad with hummus; however, the menu seemed to be new and a few ingredients not in stock, so I had to pick something else instead.

I then decided to have a plain cream cheese bagel. Was pleasantly surprised that it came with fries. Bagel was yummy. Chips were amazing! But then I saw a salad order go by and got instant food envy. I’ll have to come back for one at a later time.

Welcoming atmosphere, a really cool space to escape from the office and get great food. The coffee never disappoints. Friendly staff. Great music. love the salads. A fantastic experience all around.

Great little spot next to the office for daily coffee runs and breakfast. Yaron and team are always chirpy and friendly, proper neighborhood vibe. Whats better than walking into the local coffee shop and asking for 'the usual' and they know exactly what you want?
The Boss bagel (chicken and sriracha mayo) is a must try - ask for some extra chilli sauce, thank me later!

This place was amazing during the week and an opposite experience on the weekend. Really disappointed as the coffee was amazing and then lacking all substance. They should also explain that their large flat white is basically a small flat white with a lot more milk and not a big version of a flat white with the same ratios. When I asked if I could have an extra espresso I would've been charged another R16 so I thought it best just to order another coffee. A little better the second time but seems as if the B team work weekends and the standards drop dramatically. Always sad when you have such opposite experiences!

Great little coffee spot that is worth a visit. Very friendly atmosphere and staff - and some great coffee too!  The decor is relaxed and thoughtfully chosen too. Nice place to work or meet a friend for coffee. I only had a pastry here, and have not tried their meals yet, but look forward to in the future.

Having been so impressed with the atmosphere, coffee and interior of Hard Pressed before, I decided to pop by again to see if anything new was happening...This time round, I opted for something new on the their menu, which was the Salmon Eggs Benedict on sweet potato. The portion was substantial, the hollandaise was delicious, and the sweet potato was an awesome substitute for an English muffin. Not only that, it seems they have created awesome winter daily specials, including a soup of the day( it happened to be spicy butternut the day I was there) and a daily special. It seems they have also incorporated great Gluten Free sweet treats,so there is definitely domestic by for everyone. Prices are reasonable, portions are substantial and the music is amazing. Really impressed with what's happening here at the moment!

Excellent coffee shop on Bree Street. Came here for a quick coffee and sweet treat as I was early for an appointment. Service was so quick. And BEST BROWNIE in Cape Town 😍 it was a fresh baked brownie- chewy, decadent and delicious. So much better than all the frozen Lindt brownies warmed and served with ice-cream. I only regret not taking away another one.

Stopped by for brunch. A vibey spot that offers great coffee and treats. I had the tony which was delicious. Sashen had an americano which he also enjoyed. To eat I had the Moroccan and Sashen had the breakfast at Tiffany's. I liked my sandwich but felt the smoked chicken wasn't cut properly so it made the sandwich very chunky. Sashen's breakfast on the other hand was amazing. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Service was good and friendly.

Had an appointment next door so they were conveniently situated and exactly what we were looking for, a good flat white and a quick breakfast. Had the poached eggs with extra avo and enjoyed it even without the hollandaise I'm used to. They sell bags of bites treats and also had very tempting brownies.
