Did a bit of coffee shop hopping on Saturday. Father was our second stop and it absolutely didn't disappoint. Coffee was great and place looks amazing. I bought some beans, grinded them to a nice course grind so I can use it in my french press at work and even done so crudely (compared to how it would be done in the shop) it is still amazing! Loved the shop, people were friendly, but more than that, your coffee is really great! Thanks!
Hands down the best flat white I've ever had!
Very impressed that the barista wasn't happy with his 1st attempt, and he explained that I'm waiting longer so he can get the flavour right. Blown away!
Best coffee, best vibe and excellent service - it's a must visit when in the inner city and you can buy your own beans to have the best at home🖤 Absolutely one of my favorite places
The decor in this place is just miles ahead - cliché as it may sound but it's utmost simplistic sophistication. You get this calm, chilled vibe as you walk in through the door despite it being on one of the busiest streets in Braam. Friendly staff, couldn't possibly complain. All I ordered was a double cappuccino. So damn strong it was! I wouldn't describe myself as a coffee lover so it turned out to be a bit much for me but taste and fragrance was abundant nonetheless. Was my 1st time here despite being in Joburg for a couple years now and despite the fact that I actually lived in Braam.
I would definitely recommend this place for an easy meet. I'll be back for sure.
Brilliant coffee. Beautiful simple setting, horrible arrogant "too cool" Barista. Still, the coffee is worth all the coolness.
This place is actually pretty accessible, it seems out of the way but isn't. Do it
Probably the best coffee I've had by far has to be from Father Coffee... wow, it was so amazing that I didn't even want to eat my croissant anymore. I just wanted to drink the coffee.
P.S The lighting is bomb.com for taking pictures:)
Definitely one of the better coffee spots in Jhb! Its a small, quaint coffee shop thats serves one of the best cappuccinos I've had yet. They also sell the coffee beans they use.
A cool little spot in the trendy Braam serving dream-like coffee. You'll get no "pumpkin spiced lattes" or flavours of any kind here, but if you appreciate real coffee - its natural flavour and aroma - then you'll feel right at home. Father's baristas are serious coffee men, sometimes bearded, sometimes not. Despite facial hair, they always deliver the godfather of all coffee - no pun intended.
I hardly ever go to Braam without stopping at Father first. Great coffee, very artisanal. Lovely setup inside - nice and cosy. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area.
Whenever we swing by Braamfontein, Father coffee is definitely my go to coffee spot! They roast on site and baristas know what they are doing!
The look and feel of Father coffee is the selling point, besides the great coffee it's one of the best looking coffee spots around! Try the affogato, it's pretty phenomenal..
Perhaps the best coffee I have come across so far on my search for the perfect cup. Perfect temperature, delicious blend and hipster. Baristas are super friendly and dress a lot better than me. "Fact the best coffee in Joburg" - Adam Habibb
Father Coffee is a small but trendy spot to grab your quick caffeine fix. They have a small seating area. Over the years I've found the service to become less friendly and enthusiastic, which is quite disappointing.
The coffee is great, usually stick to a flat white but I also enjoy the hot chocolate. You generally can't go wrong with their espresso based drinks and I would definitely recommend giving them a try, if you can look past the unfriendly service.
First time visiting South Africa. And during my stay I meet a someone who was giving me suggests of things to do. And it was suggest that Father coffee makes the best coffee in the country. Strong and smooth coffee beverages with a friendly staff. Location in a small section on the block, perfect setting for a coffee break.
Good coffee, the menu looked great although I didn't eat - lots of good breakfast options, sandwich type things and sweet treats. The atmosphere is nice if a bit small - benches and tables. It's quite good for meetings if a bit loud at times.
Feel free to ask them for recommendations on new blends. Just been there today and was surprised by the new offerings. I've been taking their
Heirloom blend for the longest time (and love it) but I've been pleasantly surprise by the Konga Party offering. Its Ethiopian (Yirgacfeffe). Brewed it this afternoon and its great. Go ahead - Try something different man, Maybe you'll love it!
I spent less than 5 minutes at the spot and I instantly reviewed my approach to Customer Service.
I'm usually a hasty person but being there calmed me down without being told to.
Really thankful to have had such an experience.
Trendy crowd and place. Right in the centre of things. Conveniently close to The Orbit Jazz Lounge, the Stevenson Gallery and the Kalashnikov Art Gallery. Fantastic coffee - some of the best in Johannesburg.
This is theee best place to chill and enjoy your coffee. If you are a coffee lover, this place is the one for you. The people that work here are amazing. The service is so amazing.
Maybe there’s a better coffee to be found in SA but not in my experience. From the impeccable service to the perfectly consistent delivery, every cup has been fantastic.
Most coffee spots in Braamfontein never seem to disappoint and Father Coffee is one of them...Your day won't go wrong after a cup of Java from there
Clean styling, hip crowd, urban setting, one of the city's best coffee brewers. The only place I know that makes a Gibraltar.
