Why it’s on the route

Truth is Cape Town's famous steampunk roastery café on Buitenkant Street, with gears, pipes and gilded 19th-century styling around a working roaster. It micro-roasts ethically sourced coffee in-house, runs cuppings and barista classes, and The Telegraph once named it the world's best coffee shop.
