If there were a prize for the coolest coffee shop in Cape Town, it would probably be won hands down by the Truth Coffee HQ in Buitenkant Street. This uber cool urban hang out is architected and decorated to perfection, oozing steampunk style in every crevice.
Designed by Industrial Designer Haldane Martin, it lives on the ground floor of an old warehouse in the city centre. The renovations saw the place stripped bare, leaving a raw space with room for a creative mix of style and décor. With wooden and leather chairs, visible red industrial pipes, leather-seating booths, vintage fixtures and a long wooden table, it is an eclectic mix of industrial, retro, vintage and modern punk.
Visit Truth at 36 Buitenkant Street for a delicious, creamy cup of coffee. If you’re partial to sugar, test their motto out, “Truth Coffee Roasting: Flavour, not bitterness. No sugar required”.
