Café De-Go

What to look for in a coffee shops in Pretoria

In Pretoria, the specialty coffee scene has developed most visibly around Hatfield and Brooklyn — look for roaster-focused cafés on the Hatfield strip for the best technical quality. The city moves at a noticeably slower pace than Joburg, and cafés here reflect that — longer hours and less frantic service are the norm. Many Brooklyn and Hatfield cafés have good daytime Wi-Fi availability, partly because the student market created that demand.
