Review Brewtown Coffee Company - Johannesburg

Seanan Wai
Well situated as it is, at entrance 1 of the shopping centre, this trendy little coffee shop probably does a lot of coffee to go business, but don't let that dissuade you from having a seat at one of the tables provided within or just outside its doors. Our small party was well taken care of by the friendly and accommodating staff. I didn't try any of the artisanal coffees, but I will on a return visit. Food was quick to arrive and was tasty enough. To me, if a cafe has a small menu, the food must be well executed and deliver a little more than what is written up. It's the little details that will set you apart from everyone else. What we enjoyed was the standard sort of fare, nothing more or less.

It's a great spot, the best cappuccino I've had in a long time! My favorite part of the pastrami bagel was its generous filling, it was delicious. I was also really pleased and impressed with the fast Wi-Fi. Definitely coming back!

There is no better escape than Brewtown. A beautiful interior and uplifting music transport me to another world. A warm and welcoming atmosphere is created by the owner, David and his staff are some the friendliest I have ever encountered. My favorite is always the Freezo, which is incredibly decadent and delicious, and the chicken bagel is simply the best. Brewtown's super fast and free Wi-Fi makes it an ideal place to work, especially during loadshedding. It is always a pleasure to visit Brewtown.

10 Stars! Brewtown is such a unique and truly beautiful space. So different from the usual and boring options. I loved the vibe, so chilled. The music and decor made me feel at home. The coffee!!! Wow, smooth, silky, strong and delicious. The new owner is charming and delightful. I truly enjoyed the scrumptious cheese, tomato and pesto bagel. I find myself craving not only the best coffee in town, but the ease and comfort Brewtown offers. I want to move in!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

Not only the best coffee in Gauteng, but in SA. Awesome coffee. Awesome service
PAUL BAROW
For the BEST Cuppacinos in town. There is no other place that comes close. If you want quality, taste and flavour, this is the place to be at
Beverly Salvadori
I've had coffee in 34 countries. This is the best I've tasted. Could honestly taste the nuttiness of the roast. Well done and keep up the great coffee. I'll be back soon
Tracey Corbett
The most delicious cappuccino with cream I've had in a long time. I'll be back for another one, soon.
Zelmerie Henrico Reynders
Amazing coffee and fabulous owner. My new favorite coffee shop! Highly recommended you go and try the coffee and meet the owner...
Gray Kent Rainier Schomburg
An amazing vibe with a mad extraordinary owner who's energy never stops. If you're looking for a place to have a coffee, socialize, bang a few beats before your day starts or maybe just a hello on way through, then this is your none stop coffee shop. The coffee is superb too!
Kelsey Dobie
I have only had the best experiences at Brewtown, apart from the wide range of amazing coffees, you will not experience better service. This place puts Lonehill on the map and I know its only the start!
Chris Reynolds
Awesome shop, awesome service, awesome coffee and a fantastic vibe with Stephanie Mathiesen at the helm... congrats and may it grow from strength to strength. ��
Lauren Smit
If you haven't popped into Brewtown yet, do yourself a favour!! The best service, make new friends, and never mind the mind blowing cakes and coffee. See you soon.
Beverley Salvadori
Had Double reg cuppachinos and loved the rich roasted flavour. A small intimate little shop with personal service.
Kerry Visser
Davey can stay!!!!!! The bestest coffee the bestest vibe so early in the morning..... Dave goes out of his way to make us super special editions EVERYDAY... Highly highly recommend everyone pop in for your morning fix... he opens at 6am and greets you with a very warm welcome huge smile and amazing beats!!!!! Kill'n it!!!!!!
Renate Albrecht
Not only is the coffee brewed to perfection but David is an absolute treat. This man is always frothing with happiness - Brewtown will turn any frown upside down. Also: my delightful dog is welcome at this magical establishment and gets to enjoy a doggy-specific Doggy-Cino whenever he visits Brewtown.
Francois Vorster
Love the new changes and updates being done by the new owners. Awesome coffee and atmosphere.
Nuren Govender
What an awesome place!! Family vibe, young energy which give Brewtown an awesome atmosphere. I'm here at least twice a week. David, you have done a great job & I truly enjoy coming over for the coffee & the conversation.
Jared Bornman
Ordered a Coffee Freezo then noticed that is was being made with milk. I then requested no more milk be added and to use water instead. The owner rudely suggested that I should have ordered it without milk and that everywhere it is made with milk (no not really) did not offer to make me another one without milk I’m vegan so it landed in the bin menu does not state “different made with milk coffee freezo milkshake” such a disappointment wont go back service is all about attitude
Beverley Salvadori
Best coffee and cake I've had in years. And free WiFi. Thank you for an office away from office. Can't wait to try the RED CUPPA. Under new ownership so new broom sweeps clean.
Aubrey
This place has the X factor for me. I can't place what it was about the place. Maybe it's the friendly staff, maybe the simplified decor, or maybe the great coffee and food. Possibly a combination of all of the above. It's a bit small, luckily it wasn't rush hour when I went.
Pashnee Naidoo
Popped in for a quick takeaway, their service was great. First time I was asked how much of honey would I like in my red cappuccino as well as the first for what temperature would you like your milk? The red cappuccino was one of the best I had and temperature was perfect. I see that they do sandwiches I will definitely be back for a quick lunch. @brewtowncoffeeco
Jade Duncan
Such a vibe! Great atmosphere. And they gave our dogs something to have while we were there too :) Delicious cake, lovely coffee. Definitely recommend Brewtown to anybody
Jaco Van Der Walt
Awesome. So glad I popped into Brewtown to take care of some emails. The owner (David) is the personification of excellent customer service. He warmly welcomed me to the "Brewtown Family" and immediately started introducing me to the locals. Never made so many new contacts in such a small space of time.<br/><br/>Anyway, the coffee is top drawer, expertly crafted. Service excellent and the retro/techno tunes helps to keep the atmosphere light. Guess I am a local now too...
Michael Robertson
So, as a new Cape Tonian, I thought that I had experienced 'real coffee' and had actually become quite a snob about it. The coffee here is fantastic. It's faultless and expertly crafted. Less about the coffee though and more about the man that served me. He had the most unbelievable manner about the way he dealt with his customers. Hugs all round and the most genuine pride when he served the coffees to his customers. Asking questions to us like 'is this caffeine up to your standards' made the experience out of this world. Whoever this man is, he is a GREAT manager/owner. I wish I had more experiences and encounters of such passion. Thank you happy smiley coffee man. You made my trip to Johannesburg and my outlook on customer satisfaction has completely changed as a result.
Charlemagne Olivier
Super friendly staff, corrtado's from the heavens, and carrot cake made with the love of a mother. Nice coffee spot to grab a quick cup or listen to some sweet techno tunes.
Kim Vermaak
This tiny shop is a delight. The owner is on site and oozes friendliness and enthusiasm. Passersby in the center often wave to the owner. Staff are full of smiles and helpful. They offer the WiFi codes before you even ask. It is a very vibey atmosphere. With music that makes you feel like you are prepping for the weekend's party time. I can see why it was recommended to me.
Ruan Beyers
Excellent service! Hands on friendly owner! Can see this is the owner's passion, which makes the experience so much better. <br/>Warm modern vibe <br/>Innovative menu <br/>Proper cake <br/>
Terry Harck
This type of REAL coffee house has been missing from modern Jhb until now (28 Feb 2017). <br/><br/>Food: This is not a food place. It is a COFFEE place. The cakes are considerably better than the chain restaurant offerings. The coffee is GREAT. <br/><br/>Service: David (the owner) greeted us in person. He believes in a coffee house that brings people together and he lives this creed. He certainly has the personality for it. Friendly, chatty, interesting and eager for us to have an extraordinary coffee experience- which we did. <br/><br/>Ambience: Right-angled wood furniture, wood-tiled floor, black walls. It all gives the feel of a contemporary, yet warm space. The far end is dominated by the counter and preparation area, leaving you in no doubt that coffee and conversation are taken seriously here, but not too seriously. <br/><br/>Overall: If I could I would be there every day for a rewarding conversation and a professional caffeine hit
Michael
Had a cuppa early on a Saturday morning, the owner was jamming deep and progressive house. Do I need to say more? I was in heaven. Great coffee, really awesomely friendly owner and staff, I look forward to next Saturday.
Sarvin
It's a great place with amazing vibes. The coffee is amazing and so is the cakes they provide. There is good music playing in this small coffee shop in the shopping center and the vibes are amazing. The owner is amazing and checks on everything served. He is welcoming and is always smiling.
Tina B
The best little coffee shop in Lonehill and surrounds.  Excellent service, great music, excellent coffee and happy people!  Can't wait to go back.  Grab a cup on the run.
Michael Morton
Great coffee, great vibe in the shop, free wifi and a very cool owner who's ever present and always full of smiles. This spot is my go to after gym and offers everything a good coffee shop should!
Felix Brendel
I dont think there's any better place to meet awesome people and have the best coffee in the world. <br/>Friendly staff, perfect location and best of vibes.
Charmaine
Quaint little coffee shop with excellent service. Menu is pretty much limited to sandwiches though so best to look elsewhere if you are wanting a meal. Great vibe for a quick cuppa.
Eve
I was really happy that a dedicated coffee store had opened in the area. The location is Also very convenient. I usually grab a coffee when I enter the mall and then go about my business. The coffees are delicious
Sandra Alexandra Bizimana
David and Nadia have created an amazing vibe a, my mornings are not complete without you both . If you are in the mood for really great coffee and a piece of cake with a great smile and two beautiful hosts this is where you need to go. Thanks for caffeinating and making my day .
Heather Hook
Love this little spot. The staff are so friendly and helpful, offering the Wi-fi code immediately when you sit down and checking on you regularly. Besides your regular coffees and mochas etc - they also do protein shakes (handy for all the gym bunnies wandering past) as well as Chai Tea and Hot Chocolate. Not really a food venue, but they do offer toasted sandwhiches and Belgian waffles for those needing a snack. Great meeting venue and spot to work and catch up on those emails.
Fuzzy Lojic
Had the pleasure of being served by David the owner. He treats everyone like a long lost friend and shares titbits of the Brewtown story with you that makes the quaint little place anything but ordinary. I had an amazing irish cream cappuchino. The peanut butter cheesecake is just decadent. He also let everyone in line have a spoon of the coffee cheesecake made with their own coffee beans. Absolutely divine. Will be back to try the lunch menu.
Natalie
David the owner is an inspiration and makes you feel very welcome, calling his store "your home now". He knows his clients by name....this blew me away as I sat and watched him. The cakes here are absolutely delicious and the coffee made to perfection by this passionate individual.<br/>
J
Was walking past and noted people sitting inside working, enjoying this cozy ambiance and warm friendly staff. The music is relaxing, almost jazzy and kept me entertained as I enjoyed my complimentary cup of of coffee. <br/>I was offered a free cappuccino by David, for my enquiring eye and sat myself in the corner of the shop as I enjoyed the rest of my read, luckily I had that in hand.<br/>The warm lighting and earthy feel let's you unwind.<br/>A great place to work and use as a focus point if you want to brain storm or even meet with friends for a catch up.
MarcelloMaestro
Fantastic coffee, worth our effort to drive there all the way from Constantiakloof. Their "dirty espresso" is a must, and the cold drip coffee drinks are amazing! If you're lucky enough to get a spot, try and attend their special evenings - their recent "Coffee appreciation evening" was great! Thanx guys, as coffee goes, I believe you are one of the best!
Bridget
Coffee and cake to cure a hangover was the doctors orders and Brewtown coffee Co provided just what was needed. The coffee was great, keeping the coffee snob in me satisfied. And they had the most heavenly coconut cake. ..they only stock a few cakes but quality trumps quantity every time!
TheHungryKat
I was at Lonehill mall volunteering to assist in the CANSA shavathon, we arrived very early and were extremely coffee deprived. As soon as the store open I dashed in and was greeted with an amazing coffee aroma, I was also pleasantly surprised to see that they offer extra shot coffees (which can be asked for at many places but aren't actually on their menu). The coffee flavor was absolutely amazing, the prices were reasonable and the service friendly. Definitely a great coffee spot 😊
Erasmus Bart Sihin
This hipster coffee spot delivers on great coffee. Popped in yesterday for a quick cuppa with some friends, we tried the cappuccino which was great along with a peanut butter iced coffee which is simply delicious if you don't mind the calories from all that ice-cream, but definitely a must try. The classic iced coffee wasn't as well received though. Staff are friendly and helpful and I'll definitely be back.
Suzanne
Visit Brewtown at least once a week. Great little coffee shop inside Lonehill shopping centre. Flat whites are fantastic, as are the peanut butter espresso iced coffee. The woman who is often behind the counter is fantastic--always cheery and smiling. Wish I could go more!
Saiyuri
Great selection of smoothies and coffees! Tried out the Chemex coffee on my first visit with a bran muffin. Muffin was moist and nice- the coffee was brilliant! It was the first time I didn't need sugar or milk and savoured the pure beautiful coffee taste. My most recent trip with my family we had smoothies and milkshakes and I had Vietnamese coffee (cafe sua da). The smoothies were delicious especially the peanut butter espresso one.
Chantelle Le Roux
Great coffee (cappuccino) and a really good chocolate muffin - all for R30. <br/>The generous sized muffin seemed a bit dry at first look, but the flavours more than made up for it. <br/>This little spot in Lonehill Shopping centre has minimalistic decor and is the perfect spot to use as a mobile office. <br/><br/>My favorite feature is the "Buy a cup of coffee and tweet the person"<br/><br/>You buy a cup of coffee and pin the receipt to a pin-board with the person's name on it. You tweet them a photo and they can pop past any time to redeem their coffee- such a novel idea!
Nathan Smit
From one coffee snob to another- money well spent. Best flat white, awesome service and lekker vibe. Safe underground parking and I don't have to walk past five million shops to get here!
Brutal Pixie
Great decor and great coffee...lovely cuppacino's and we have also tried the Lindt Hot Chocolate...yummy even if I say so myself as I dont like hot chocolate normally.<br/><br/>I was however dissappointed in the Peanut Butter & Espresso Iced Coffee. Was very 'watery'...would be better thicker and creamier...just a suggestion.<br/><br/>Staff were a little 'quiet' initially but they are learning to open up and be friendlier.<br/><br/>
@onejoburglife
Nice little place to get a coffee, the location is a bit strange though as you actually have to go into the shopping centre to find it. It feels as though it should be more a "side walk" cafe. This would add a great deal more to it's appeal. <br/><br/>
Jacques Van Der Merwe
Great decor and feel but staff were a little rude.... tried to engage about their menu and got pushed to order a regular cappuccino.... order for 2, both arrived in what looked like wimpy kids cool drink glasses.... almost a nice touch except mine had 2 inches of foam and my wife's had a thin layer barely thicker than a coin. <br/><br/>Almost cool but glasses allow you to see the poor attention to detail. <br/>

Great little spot in the heart of Lonehill! Delicious coffee's made with care, and absolutely mindblowing Nutella milkshake!! Yuuuuum! Tata diet!
