African Roots Coffee

This was our favorite breakfast throughout our whole holiday in South Africa. They pride themselves on selecting excellent coffee, and they did not disappoint with our beverages. We also had the veggie quiche and eggs Benedict, both of which were cooked very well. The ingredients were fresh and high quality. The service was friendly, and the owner warmly greeted all of his guests. We highly recommend African Roots Coffee.

We had our 3rd or 4th visit this morning and we continue to enjoy African Roots which is local to us. It may not be on the main strip or overlook the beach, which we enjoy as this is what makes it a hidden gem. They always have a well spaced out table available and it is shaded and cooler on warm Durban mornings!Food and Coffee are excellent, with an artisanal feel including quality ingredients such as bacon sourced from the Dargle Valley etc.A great note is that they carry awesome Rye and Sourdough bread options etc. directly from the Glenwood Bakery.African Roots is also pet friendly, catering graciously to our dog and if the Owner is around, they may spoil your pooch with a little bacon strip!

First visit very disappointing. No covid protocols , service extremely poor, food mediocre at best ( could not even get soft eggs correct) , value poor (at the top end of price spectrum with mediocre food). Bill brought in the hand and put on table..... no presentation, no mints pen etc as per normal standards. Not sure why people visit here?

Delicious food and great coffee. Service was amazing and staff was super friendly. Highly recommend the artisan bread and chicken and mayonnaise

My husband and I came here for brunch whilst on holiday in Durban. The food here is fresh, perfectly cooked and reasonably priced. The staff are excellent and the coffee is fabulous. Can’t recommend this place enough.

If you are in search of real GOOD COFFEE and a NICE coffee shop VIBE this is the place! Lovely quaint, yet streamlined and modern, somewhat artistic vibe! Their coffee is good enough for the coffee connoisseur! Perfect every time! And we are admittedly “coffee snobs”. Friendly and welcoming baristas, waiters and owner / manager too! Could give 6 stars if that was an option! ??

Congratulations African Roots Coffee and Wency on becoming 2020 South African National Cup tasters Champion.

A lovely spot to sit down and enjoy coffee or get a take away.The shop offers tables inside or outside with friendlt smiles and good coffee

Fantastic coffee shop. Sustainable sourced coffee prepared by highly knowledgeable baristas. Loved the artisanal food and the interesting chats with Wency and the owner Mark. What a great place!

Had a good strong coffee and tasty baked cheesecake. Conveniently located on the sidewalk with funky decor.
