Not your regular venue for breakfast, and to be honest, I didn’t even know they did breakfast.
Truth Coffee is synonymous around Cape Town as good, quality coffee. Situated between the Book Lounge and Mavericks, Truth has developed an imaged all on its own. Reminiscent of the Steampunk era, with its industrialised decor, waitrons that don leather aprons, a bar made of brass and even the coffee bean dispensing machine is a contraption to behold. The venue is themed to keep the patron in wonder and surprise.
Under a recommendation from a friend, Truth was a welcome investigation and may quite possibly become a regular haunt for great coffee and delicious breakfast.
The menu isn’t extensive but is creative. If you desire a small amendment they are all too happy to accommodate. We were welcomed immediately and offered comfy seats near the bar. Coffee orders were made and food orders were taken shortly.
The wait wasn’t too long, I wouldn’t call it speedy but the attentive waiter kept us informed of timings and checked in on us to make sure all was ok and when the food arrived (mushrooms on toast topped with a poached egg and croque monsieur), we were not disappointed.
I will gladly recommend Truth for breakfast. Parking can be a nightmare, especially on weekdays, as The City wants you to pay for the pleasure.
