The best coffee in the Woodstock Exchange. Maybe even in the whole of Woodstock....
Excellent: Coffe, staff, experience. Every. Single. Time. Hard to believe but these guys are amazing all the way through. For me this is by far the best coffee shop in Cape Town.

Rosetta Roastery is not for the light-hearty casual coffee drinkers!! (I am saying this cause I am one of these people😅) If you are you will likely be disappointed and that you wasted R30 on a cup of coffee.
The coffee is very strong and modern, with different flavour notes that you do not usually find such as Jasmine and Stonefruit notes. Unfortunately, I'm not a Coffee Lover even though I enjoy the normal coffee here and there - I'm more of a Hug-In-A-Mug kinda coffee drinker🙈😅 If this is you as well then you will not enjoy this experience!
It's almost like drinking wine - it's an acquired taste and you will not appreciate the experience unless you really enjoy strong, somewhat-bitter coffee with other flavour notes.
However, I still had to give this place a 4-star rating cause of the exceptional, professional and kind service!!💪 They explained everything to me very well as a first time customer and it was very much appreciated!!
Rosetta is right around the corner from where I work. It is the best coffee in the city (well worth the few extra rand - trust me). The staff are always friendly. Thanks to Justin, who is one of the baristas there, who is very knowledgable, passionate about coffee and love what he does. Also, the ambience of the place is great, love the decor and vibe inside. Great place!
Excellent coffee, very professional and friendly staff. Worth paying a bit extra for a much better quality coffee compared to nearby cafes. Highly recommend.
Good strong coffee in a trendy dark and geometric setting. I had a flat white and the coffee was brewed perfectly. The microfoam quality was good but there were a few big bubbles in the mix. I really like the contrast of black with the warm wood tones.
Heard about this place through a friend and their latest in coffee innovation - the Espresso Tonic. It took me a while to get used to but now I love making them at home. Definitely worth a visit when you're next in Woodstock, CPT. ☕️
If you like strong, flavoursome coffee, Rosetta won't disappoint. When i worked with foodies for 6 months I visited a LOT of different cafes and roasteries all over Cape Town, and Rosetta was my favourite of all of them.

What a lovely evening. We got to attend a coffee event hosted by the awesome Jono and Rob who shared countless pieces of information that has made me more coffee savvy and keen to explore more of... The beans, the different types of roasts and more importantly the flavors each type of roast yields.
I must say their enthusiasm of coffee bubbles over and I look at coffee so differently now. We got to taste and smell 3 different variations and use the flavor chart to see which flavors we smelt.
This was such an informative session and I would highly recommend popping in for not only fantastic coffee but also the history and interesting facts on coffee ...
Great vibe, cool decor and just fun. Love the fact they sell different types of coffee maker... Aeropress, pour over etc. Beans are sold and the flavors do change every once in a while. Every so often they have a coffee facts evening ... Great job truly loved it and walking away with knowledge I didn't have before.
Really excited to pop back and taste stale coffee vs fresh coffee ;) see you again soon! Keep up the great work team....
Coffee quality is insane, its some of the best coffee in CPT and the setting is so chic. I went with a book , sat in comfy silence and just blissed out.
Amazing coffee in a super trendy setting. I got a latte and the coffee had a natural sweet and delicious flavour. It also wasn't smouldering hot.
I love the geometric light fittings and dark hip decor. Service was super friendly as well. Definitely pop in for a quick caffeine fix if you're in the area.
Very cool setup. I love the use of raw materials such as wood and exposed brick and concrete, such an industrial feel. Popped in for a flat white and sweet nibble. Coffee was slightly more muted than I expected, but nevertheless solved the craving. Great if you haven't packed in lunch or eaten breakfast. And positioned in the cool, Woodstock Exchange.
Dropped by for a quick coffee and had a delightful experience.
The folks behind the bar know their coffees and take their craft seriously.
I tried the progressive option for my espresso and was a little disappointed. They immediately offered to remake the coffee and adjusted the extraction.
Extracting light roasts is difficult and they did well the second time round.
The espresso tonic (can’t recall if that was the name) was a super cool concept that I’d never tried before. Be try tasty as well.
The ambiance was relaxed and the bar beautiful.
Highly recommend a visit here if you like coffee.
Rosetta is at the apex of coffee brewing in Cape Town, the only downside to their cafe at Bree is the size of the space - all that goodness needs a larger space. They do make up for it with the patio seatings and quite cleverly too. Their coffees are beyond delicious - whether you’re taking straight black with zero frills like the gods intended or you’re bathing the beans in luxuriously frothy milk for the adventurous ‘cinos and lattes, their brews have got zero acidity to the taste.
Decent coffee and chill/modern cafe. I liked that you could select the beans for your drink, but found the cortado a little bigger and milky than most other places (they did not use the traditional cortado glass).
Coffee 12/10, Sinikiwe’s flat-white was so good today (as it is EVERYDAY) it transcended a regular light/medium-roast-milk-coffee-drink and became more of a vanilla chocolate almond cherry milkshake served hot, at the perfect temperature. Aesthetically perfect, respectfully the best in Cape Town, Rosetta my love, I’ll always be back!
undeniably the best cafe experience in the country… a must visit if you want a memorable food-service-atmosphere experience.
the food is always amazing and the coffee is the best you will ever have;
the service is best in class - the team works together like a family and always makes you feel right at home;
the atmosphere is always giving “homely vibes” - made possible by the incredible team - you won’t want to leave.
If speciality coffee is your thing - Rosetta is the place to visit. I tried the Kyoto Ice Coffee. A complete wild card but I enjoyed trying something new.
It's hard for a coffee shop to get everything right. From the food to the ambiance, it's really really hard (I'm failing at it right now, so I know first hand).
Rosetta on Bree checks every box.
- The space is beautiful, comfortable, and unique.
- The coffee is spectacularly good. I still can't get over how unbelievably excellent and refined the coffee is.
- The food is excellent, interesting, and delicious. The food alone would make this a worthwhile destination.
- The staff is tremendously knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly.
- And lastly, they do all of the above every time...
A true 5 star coffee shop...what a gem of a space. Personally, I can't think of a wonderful place to start your morning. It's one if not the best coffee shop I've been to.
Nice coffee ( filtered) Ethiopian or flat white/ cortado.
Atmosphere and vibes were great.
Staff were nice to change my coffee when I didn’t like it. But not the barista
They sell their own beans. And breakfast was nice but need some work and adding more items or changing. A must go Cape Town visit especially for coffee lovers
Incredible coffee and atmosphere. The sweet treats looked great, but couldn't tempt myself into buying one. I had a Flat White and the taste, body and latte art was great! Very pleased with the service and experience from the manager and barista.
Stunning location, barista is very helpful. My only notes would be removing the signs on the tables that say you can only stay for 45 minutes; when I asked the waiter, he said not to worry, it's a covid artefact. It could be more apparent as a client, so dump them.
