Know a place?

We're genetically programmed to avoid places with bad water. So I dig up the dirt on the best and worst coffee around Cape Town and South Africa.
Been somewhere good? Got a new menu? Find DR on Facebook, leave a comment, and I'll don my hat and investigate.

Cafe Extrablatt, Green Point ★

Cappuccino with foam R16 (Hausbrandt)
Despite a promising aromatic start the cup became a dirty bitter brew reminiscent of damp sewerage.
The world's tiniest shortbread biscuit barely rescues the palette from the.. let's call it blatty... flavour.
A pricy menu - a modest buffet breakfast is R99, and a cut-down English breakfast called American Breakfast (shouldn't the American be bigger?) runs you R49. Everything comes with yeasty hotdog rolls, so no egg on toast fun.
A humble selection of wine and cocktails.
Woody reedy interior with friendly staff and a view of the stadium across the main road, mambo and traffic in the ears.
