Coffee shops in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape rewards anyone willing to slow down. Its coffee scene runs from the surf-town cafés of Jeffreys Bay and the student-fuelled roasteries of Gqeberha and East London to farm stalls on the N2 that pour a properly good flat white miles from the nearest city. Grahamstown (Makhanda) brings a festival-driven café culture, while the Wild Coast and the Karoo towns inland hide some of the most characterful small-town coffee stops in the country. If you are road-tripping between Cape Town and Durban, this is the province where a planned coffee stop becomes the highlight of the drive. Use the town pages below to find coffee shops with wifi, backup power during load shedding, and dog-friendly gardens across the Eastern Cape.
