Search for the Great South African Cup of Coffee: The Corner Cafe in Durban
Recently, while in KZN to attend the wedding of one my World Wide Creative team mates, I hooked up with fellow coffee addict, Geoff Brink, who lives in Umdloti down the road from prolific blogger Fred Hatman. Geoff is otherwise known as the ‘nutter on the unicycle‘ – although he also moonlights as a photographer and a [...]
Search for the Great South African Cup of Coffee: Fournos
Earlier today I was stuck at O.R. Thambo.
My flight was delayed, and I was kindly reassured that it wouldn’t be long. “The stoppage is merely due to the airport’s radar system being faulty.” Which is good to know, since I already have a MASSIVE fear of flying, so this little tidbit settled me down to [...]
Search for the Great South African Cup of Coffee: Dario’s
The search goes on, and I’m pleased to say that I’ve uncovered a real hidden gem in Hout Bay, my back yard. It so happens that this place is a stone’s throw from where I live, so forgive me for my being a little hysterical about this.
I stepped out of the house to chat with [...]
Search for the Great South African Cup of Coffee: Arpeggio
I’ve been quiet lately, for various reasons – mostly because I’ve been well, well busy – BUT that doesn’t mean that I’ve given up coffee. Far from it, in fact. So, here goes with a bit of an update.
I’m sitting in Stellenbosch right now, in a lovely little Italian restaurant called Arpeggio – having just [...]
Cool coffee start-up website idea
Thanks to Tripeak for sending me this link: Coffee in Town. It’s a nice use of Google Maps for coffee meet ups in Prague.
Jozi, Durban and Cape Town are crying out for this. I’d use it for sure…

Cape Town is the Silicon Valley of Africa
Check out this post, ‘Cape Town breeds Entrepreneurs‘, that appeared in Fin24 on the weekend.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s research findings over the past five years show that the percentage of people between the ages of 18 and 64 in Cape Town who pursue new business are 190% above the national average.
I think this is something [...]
Search for The Great South African Cup of Coffee: Sage Organic
Cape Town is a maze of one-way streets and back alleys. If you know your way around, you may just find great little spots like this, Sage Organic, on Hatfield Street in Gardens.
I went there with Paul, the CSS whiz-kid from World Wide Creative, last week. We were not expecting to have great coffee, only [...]
Search for The Great South African Cup of Coffee: C’est La Vie
While visiting Lisa’s Little Wine Shop in Kalk Bay, a true hidden gem, I was pointed swiftly to C’est La Vie, the coffee shop / French bakery round the back.
I followed the aroma of freshly roasted bean coming from the Mediterranean-style balcony outside Lisa’s shop. As you enter, you get a sensory double-whammy. In one [...]
Search for The Great South African Cup of Coffee: Origin Roasting
I’ve held this one back a little. It’s been almost a year now that we’ve featured my coffee review on Ideate. It’s been an up and down affair, with Caveau Josephine Mill and CaffeNeo coming up tops so far.
I’m not going to make a meal of this next review, since I want to encourage you [...]
