I’ve visited Plato branches throughout South Africa and consistently enjoyed their coffee, so I was disappointed by this location. I ordered a cappuccino but the milk was extremely foamy and cold, while the espresso itself was slightly weak. When I mentioned this to the staff they took my cup back, after I’d already taken a sip, and reheated it using the steam wand. I found this a bit unhygienic especially given that the same wand is used to froth milk for other customers’ drinks. That said, based on my experiences at other Plato locations, I’d still definitely recommend the chain overall, though this particular visit fell short of the standard I’ve come to expect.

Delicious coffee every time I've been. All of the staff except one are always helpful and happy. Perhaps the grumpy one should try some of the coffee!

Cute little spot. The new "in" on the coffee scene. We had a chai latte and an iced coffee. Both were really great. The little note on the cup makes it unique. They do have toasted sandwiches, pastries etc. Go give it a try. Really cute
