Recently had the privilege of actually sitting down and having some breakfast instead of grabbing one of their delicious bagels on the go. Oh man, was I impressed?! Not only do they serve the best coffee in all of Cape Town, they even provide food of the same standard - without breaking the bank!

Such great coffee and the food is fantastic too. You can pop upstairs and see the coffee roasting process. These dishes were the Asian chicken and the steak roll, fantastic food. The roll is baked in-house and is really delicious.

The coffee cupping was a great experience - Hayley is fantastic.Eggs benedict and coffees were very good.Shakshuka is not shakshuka, its a vegetable curry with eggs.

Beautiful place for coffee lovers. Huge space with good seating areas. Inside, but also outside. In a busy area, but secluded enough to enjoy your coffee fix in peace. In my case, I got a very solid latte. Could have been a bit more creamy, but cant complain.

Loved this spot. So old times. Great breakfast and coffee

Best coffee. Great service

This place has AMAZING food. Best shakshuka Ive ever had and their bagel Benny is sooo good. Coffee is wonderful as well - love a cappuccino with the local handcrafted oat milk. The staff is wonderful too. Sometimes the service is slow but I couldnt bare to give it less than 5 stars. Have been here multiple times now.

Honestly, they have one of the best matcha lattes Ive ever tasted!!! Their bagels are absolutely amazing just like their coffee. One of the best coffee spots to come to!!

It was fantastic. A good variety of vegetarian meals to choose from and coffee to satisfy every connoisseur

Good place to enjoy an early brunch.We were delighted by how much choice there is here for coffee and tea. Dont hesitate and ask the staff for advice, we both liked a lot the ones we got.We ordered the omelette, the sweet potato rosti and a peanut butter cookie. They were all good but not extraordinary.Conclusion: a very nice place to chill in the morning, the staff is very friendly and the drinks are definitely worth it.

Origin coffee is an authentic place. No hype here just good coffee and the food looks good too. The service is nice and they like to explain the differences between the beans too. And the best thing they do light-medium roast! Beautiful place!

Coffee absolutely fantastic. Food was very tasty but portions too small and music bit to loud. From a pure coffee purest perspective you cant go wrong at all. So much to offer with great service

Did a barista course that i will definitely recommend to others. Origin has great instructors and offers a really great course.

Worm place with great coffee, they provide vegan milk also.You can come for breakfast, lunch or just to enjoy a rich cup of coffee.Thanks all for the great experience.Thank you Themba for the hospitality.

Nice place to have a good and tasty breakfast or lunch. Wide range of coffee and tea varieties. You may even choose the brewing method! Loosing the fifth star just because service is a bit slow when the place is getting crowded at lunch time.

A great experience for breakfast/brunch! Had some sweet potato rösti, someSourdough bread with butter (in cute small wrappers) and marmalade. Then make the experience complete with some freshly roasted coffee brewed with the perfect method.The service here is great and if you are a coffee lover then this is the place to go. Even if you are not into coffee then this is still a great place for food!Will definitely return if I return to Cape Town.

Great selection of coffees with local roasted beans. Bagels can be recommended.

I ordered Flat White and Hazelnut Iced Latte.They tasted awesome and the service was also nice. Especially the coffee was very rich and balanced. It is allegedly one of the best coffee roastery. That is definitely true.

Given all of the hype about Origin I had very high expectations and maybe that was the problem. I like coffee but I dont love it. I had a pour over and it was served in a cool manner but it did not wow me. I also ordered a burger. It looked great but the bread was dry and the meat, while juicy, lacked taste. It was only okay. And it was expensive....

This spot is really special has such a great feel to it. Theyve done all the little things well that other cafes forget to do. The look and feel the quality in every cup of coffee the pastries are exquisite, the background music the staff the plants all are brilliant. Its worth going over and over again. Just want to warn you when it gets full it gets really hot in there don’t think they have air-conditioning. The service is very slow and unorganized. Been their a lot of times and the toilets get dirty seems like no one checks up on it.

Great coffee, vibe, service and people!

So I dont drink coffee and dont understand how anyone can drink something that tastes like burnt. But my girlfriend loves the stuff, so I was delighted to see a page of different teas that was almost as long as for the coffee.The Croque Monsieur was pretty good too.Ive knocked a point off as I felt that serving hot drinks in glasses without handles is style over functionality.

A brilliant experience once again at Origin Cafe. It was bustling with life & vibrant sounds yet still prompt servise. I had Origin fried chicken. Boneless chicken thigh, Marinated in spiced buttermilk with a crispy crumb with Picked basil slaw, confit red cabbage & sriracha mayoAlong with a single ‘Origin’ Ethiopian pour over coffeeA must visit when in Cape Town

Another fantastic coffee shop in Cape Town! I definitely recommend the salmon bagel and Vietnamese coffee and the pastis de natas! Yum! They also keep bringing amazing tea and snack tasters around which adds an AMAZING element to your coffee shop experience. We’ll definitely be back!

The best breakfast we had in Cape town. The food was delicious and the staff where amazing 😉

Amazing quality coffee, nice atmosphere, the baristas are extremely knowledgeable about the coffee beans and brewing. I learned so much while watching her brew my coffee. I was mind blown. The staff were very friendly as well. I highly recommend. Quality coffee, incredible people in a nice industrial vibe building.

Brilliant coffee in a trendy setting, great selection of cakes, sandwiches and food to order. We had the vegan mushroom sandwich which was delicious.Best is the selection of beans and brewing methods, so many combinations to try and all so reasonably priced (all coffees less than £2 - R33 to be exact - which is about half what you’d pay in the UK for Chemex or V60 pourover)!Came back twice on our visit to Cape Town because it was so great!

Great coffee and great breakfasts - I had the Banting Benedict and it was tasty! Good atmosphere without the pretentious coffee shop vibe, a must stop for all coffee lovers in Cape Town ☕️

Food and coffee is excellent - definitely a superb place to visit. But there’s no denying that Origin is always chronically understaffed and disorganised. Few waiters and baristas seem all over the place and you can wait quite a while before they even recognise you’re at the door. Food is very slow but tasty. Waitering staff also seems to need a bit of training - often they ask you to reiterate your order or forget an item. Management needs to work on this place because it’s a gem

Origin Coffee has a great vibe, organised and attentive service. Coffee 8.5/10. A nice offering of treats and a free WiFi that works. Recommended.

Best coffee in town and very good breakfast.We had shakshuka (its an dish from Israel, with pouched eggs in a tomato sauce), very good!!!

Not just coffee experts, I had the most enjoyable brunch in years. The Banting Benedict was excellent. It was a very good hollandaise topping poached eggs and the most delectable tumeric flavoured grated butternut rösti. My friends vegetarian shakshuka was superb too.

Unique experience, amazing service and their salmon bagel is highly recommended!The place gets quite busy but it brings a vibe!

A definite must visit in Cape town!!! The best coffee in town (well - on the top 3 list), and their food is really good as well. Parking can be challenging, so be prepared to take a short walk.I really enjoyed their friendly service and coffee, and will strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the city, whether business / vacation.

Wonderful atmosphere, great service.

Not just fantastic coffee, best smashed avo on toast in Cape Town CBD too!

Coffee is good, bianche is quiet and open and people are absurdly nice.The eggs on toast plus avocado was a bit empty but the green chili sauce that came with it was incredible. I liked it so much I asked for the recipe.

Great coffee...which is is primary reason for Origins existence. The food menu is also superb and the serving staff know their stuff.

A favourite for meetings and breakfast. Well worth the vibe and great service

Since 2007, the origin of most coffee lovers coffee passion, including many other loved establishments and roasteries founders (name them...they probably grew up on Origin before venturing out to start their own ventures). Informative, top-shelf, options options options. Food is as good as their coffee too

Absolutely can not go wrong with this eclectic stop. Each beverage and dish carefully and passionately prepared out of the sheer pleasure of being just that, deliciously proud.

Best coffee in cape town, really defines speciality. very friendly and attentive staff. Fantastic breakfast. nice music. highly recommended.

Quality coffee thats roasted and served well.Service is a bit slow close to closing time.200mb free Wi-FiSmall collection of cakesRoasted beans on sale too; good range of single origins and a house blend

Great service, amazing coffee offerings and great food - a must visit if you like coffee. Sit at the bar and watch them make the syphons and V60 filters - they’ll give you a real show!

The food is so tasty. The coffee is good. Loose leave Tea available. Themba your service is awesome. Might want to turn the music down a little bit. But overall great experience as always.

Great coffee taster and eggs benedict with home made hollandaise.

By far the best coffee shop in town!! Very friendly and welcoming staff, thats how all coffee should taste like. I bought few coffee bags for me to take home! Will miss this place 💕

This spot is definitely for the true Barista-Style Coffee lover. You will not be disappointed if youre looking for that top notch cuppa experience. Head over to Origin, sit back and relax while the atmosphere does the rest. Youll forget about the time, for sure.

Amazing coffee experience learned a lot about processing of coffee production, and different kinds of coffee(by stages).

Great food, nice coffee, good service. The sourdough was the highlight!

Amazing food and coffee!

Very friendly, great spot if you like coffee and I recommend the bagels they are to die for!

One of the best coffee roasters in Cape Town. I had a flat white, it was excellent. The place is known for its award winning baristas. I also ordered their grilled cheese sandwich (R50.00) and it was absolutely delicious. The joint is in a beautifully restored building oozing what I suppose is Victorian industrialism. It is a bit warm inside; nevertheless, there is outside seating. Definitely the best place to stop for coffee in De Waterkant/ Greenpoint. A must if you are serious about your coffee. Funky 70s and 80s background groove music.

Might be the Best breakfast I have ever had! Shashuka with lamb sausage and fresh sourdough bread, it was amazing. Also got the coffee sampler platter which is apparently a thing, a very very delicious thing. You cant go wrong here.

Normally good but with every restaurant struggling to survive they have decided to slack on service and menu. The restaurant was half full, after waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order, they informed us that they didnt have what we wanted off the menu. We decided to rather leave and go across to a restaurant which was.more on the ball.

The Banting Benedict for breakfast is a must! Pair it with a speciality tea or one of their organic coffees.

One of my favorite coffee roasters in the world. I love the location in Cape Town, and cant say enough about the great taste that goes into these roasts. Good food as well!

Great service, and high standard coffee, tea and baked goods with nice touch! Price is good too, will definitely return next time I visit Cape Town. 😊

Great service and foods. Bagels are the best. Great coffee experience

Awesome coffee, a very nice location with friendly staff and good food.

Speedy service, good coffee! Charming space.

No service. Waited 15 minutes without being helped and eventually walked out. The food and coffee was great the last time I was here, so this was such a disappointing experience.

Undoubtedly the best spot for coffee in the area.

Coffee with the sweet after taste! The most amazing avo on toast I ever had and I had a lot of them in many places!

Excellent coffee, excellent food, excellent service.

My favourite coffee shop in Cape Town. Excellent coffee with good variety.The staff are friendly and informed about the coffee menu and are happy to make suggestions and recommendations.The atmosphere is also nice and relaxing - especially when it quietens down.The food and pastries are okay - but the main show is the coffee.

Your food is at the same price level as Jasons but nowhere near the quality.Your coffee is more expensive than Deluxe, Truth and Bootleggers.Get real with your pricing or fully expect your restaurant to run out of customers in the next two years. Place is already dead most of the time

Great menu and selections on coffee and pastries. Pastries are delicious! Baristas are friendly and explain to you on their coffee selection. I bought one back home to San Francisco☺️

Coffee lovers wet dream with food to match.

Its a good place to take your time, explore different beans and brewing techniques.

Great coffee, friendly service dont hesitate to pop in

The Coffee Chemistry Laboratory

Great coffee and great service

A friend told me that this place is like one of the early coffee shops in Cape town. well it didnt disappoint. realy enjoyed it 😊 and they sell a lot of coffee equipment too.

I have never been to a place before where making coffee is celebrated as in Origin Coffee Roasting Cape Town. Good Food and perfect coffee in so many variations !

Good choice for speciality coffee friends

Loved the vibe and the knowledgeable staff were very helpful with my guests who were new to the experience. Always coming back when Im in Cpt

Decident coffee and reasonable food. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Nice interior. Service a bit on the unfriendly side. Food was okay

Some of the best, of not the best coffee in Cape Town. Well worth a visit

Delicious food, great coffee and an awesome spot.

2nd very poor experience in 2 months, at what used to be a good coffee shop. Service very slow and unorganized. Waiters served beer with a best before 3 years ago. In desperate need of a floor manager to ensure bathrooms serviced, drinks and food orders taken, bills can be paid quickly. Coffee still good but not worth the wait.

Went for a quick breakfast this morning.Chai latte was delicious and we had eggs on toast. Average meal but bread was great.Good service from our waitress.Will try the granola breakfast next time, looked amazing and healthy!

Nice breakfast spot when here during a convention. Would recommend.

Great coffee. Worth the visit.

Best coffee tasting! Try the Trio Coffee Tasting

What a great spot. Amazing food, beautifully presented and well flavored. Our table enjoyed the Franschoek Smoked Salmon with cream cheese bagel, Eggs Benedict and Avocado Smash. Everything was fresh and served promptly. Wide variety of coffee brewing methods and beans. Lovely, freshly baked goods. Amazing Danish pastries. Friendly staff. Aircon would improve the general feel of the spot especially in summer. Overall, will definitely comeback again.

Not just a great coffee shop but a fantastic roaster. I order their coffee to be delivered half way across the world.

Really great breakfast & perfect coffee! Eggs Benedict & Avocado Toast are amazing!!!Would always go there again, best coffee & breakfast in Cape Town

Best coffee shop in Cape Town even though I haven’t been to them all. First off they have cold brew. Along with V60, Chemex, and aeropress, and a huge menu of different beans. Great food and knowledgeable staff to boot. Highly recommended for the coffee connoisseur

Ive been coming here for 5 years with my young son and now my 4 month old daughter and have only ever felt welcome. The coffee is unreal and the family vibe i feel having come here for so long keeps me coming back each weekend. We drive 20min to get here and would drive 40 if needed!The shop as its very popular can be busy and manic and we dont come in here with prams dogs and nappy bags we come in light have Cape Towns best cup and leave here happy.Come get your cup!

Really disappointed on the overall experience!We came in at around 12:45 on a Sunday. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, 5 table in total.We ordered drinks and then food.Drinks (2 x fresh pressed juice and 2 x flat whites) took 15mins.Food took just over 30mins to come out and when it arrived they got the order wrong. By this time we were to hungry to wait for it to be rectified. We did ask for chill or Tabasco, which never arrived.We tried to get the attention of waiters to get water and more napkins and this was a struggle as well.Poor service overall!

Great experience. Friendly service, there was no veggi option for the Benedict bit I was able to put it together myself. Great coffee and tea and danishes to die for!

Pleasurable discovery. Good place for a relaxing coffee. Great selection of coffees to chose from. Best ask the waiter for advice. Did not eat here. Drawbacks were... it was a hot day and there is a lack of ventilation. The cups are standard size, I would have liked to have a bigger cup to select. The coffee to the table was only moderately warm. All in all, a good place to chill with a friend.

Ordered two flat white made with their premium beans at R53 a cup.It arrived cold and we sent it back.Same cups arrived back steaming hot.They microwaved our coffee 😣

The best and consistent coffee in Cape Town. I normally just stick to the flat white with the blend of the day, but there are plenty premium beans and brewing methods available. Truly a must visit for any coffee fanatic.A good selection of freshly baked pastries and great breakfast opyions too.

Very creative menu. The food is delicious and fresh. The ice coffees are amazing and worth the try! The atmosphere is great and the general vibe is bubbly and sets a good mood. It would be a good place to have your summer morning cuppa!

High quality coffee. Highly recommend this place for coffee, breakfast and lunch. I till definitely be back.

Awesome place! try the little apple pies. never had one of those so good anywhere in the world. coffee and prices also great

We are regulars at Origin and the food is good but the service is slow and lacks enthusiasm to cater to the customers .
