Directions

Doubleshot is a pioneering Joburg specialty café that helped establish the city's third-wave coffee scene and remains a benchmark for quality. Their espresso is consistently excellent and they take tea as seriously as coffee, with a curated loose-leaf selection. The space is compact and fills up fast during the week with students and creatives from the surrounding precinct. Go on a weekday mid-morning to actually get a seat and have a proper conversation with the barista.
