Haas

Haas is undeniably artisan with a touch of home as you walk through the entrance to be greeted by waiters in top hats and an array of delectable treats. Their coffee is a unique blend of 100% Arabica beans sourced from around the world, and better yet Haas is one of the only coffee shops in South Africa to sell a cup of the infamous Kopi Luwak coffee. I particular love the names given to their coffee blends, The Newly Weds, The Famous Jailbird, The Mysterious Gentleman, Return of a War Hero, Monday Morning Lift Club, The Swimming Club, The Three Sisters, and The Boxing Club. Beans are available to buy over the counter or sip on a warm flat white as you settle into that high back velvet corner chair. 

The menu serves both breakfast and lunch customers, but be sure to leave space for dessert because the baked goodness that looms throughout Haas is something not to pass up. True to its corner cafe roots this coffee shop is a Cape Town treasure. Not only the tasty coffee and refreshing decor, but the personality that exudes this coffee shop is captivating and enchanting all at once. Collective genius collaborating good food, coffee and design, what more could one want from a space. 

Open Monday through Saturday, so why not take a trip through Cape Town city centre straight to 67 Rose Street and visit Haas. Sit down, take in the creative energy infused with the wafts of coffee and be sure to greet your waiter with a Haas’it in good spirits.
