Coffee starts as a fruit.
Processing is what shapes the flavour.
Washed = clean + balanced
Natural = fruity + bold
Honey = sweeter + fuller
We use a washed process.
The fruit is removed before drying for a cleaner, brighter, more consistent cup.
Processing doesn’t determine quality, but it does shape character.
It’s part of how we keep our blend tasting like Bootlegger, every time. Click the link in bio if you’re interested to learn more about coffee processing.

Highlights from our ‘Meet the Blancs’ tasting experience hosted at Bootlegger Hyde Park, Joburg, and Lintons Corner, Pretoria. We brought together a select group of local creators to experience our new Blanc range.
This experience put the Blancs front and centre. Led by our product development team, creators were taken through tastings and live demos that unpacked the inspiration behind the range, offering a deeper look into how our iced drinks range has evolved.
Comment below where we should host our next Blanc tasting.

Welcome Jamie Riddle.
Our latest Bootlegger ambassador.
South African Olympian and professional triathlete competing at the highest level of endurance sport. Known for his relentless training standard, consistency, and the discipline it takes to perform at the highest level.
Off the course, he’s built a strong and growing community through his content, bringing people into the reality of the work, not just the results. He announced the partnership on his YouTube channel.
Serious about his coffee. Very serious. Barista in the making.
We’ll be working closely with Jamie across a series of activations and events in key locations. We start in Port Elizabeth in just over a month, where he lines up at Ironman South Africa with his sights set on the win. We’ll be there backing him all the way.
Meet and greet details at our newly opened Boardwalk store in Port Elizabeth will be shared soon.
In the words of Jamie himself - “Africa to the world!”

What people say
Bootlegger Coffee Company is a coffee shop that has grown rapidly over the years, with 49 stores across the Western Cape, Gauteng and North West. The founders started with a small store in Sea Point to create a place for cyclists to grab coffee as early as 6:30am. Through dedication and a growth-driven approach, they have successfully opened sixteen stores in 2022, with seven more in the pipeline for early 2023.
Their menu offers a variety of delicious options such as the Chicken Burger made with crumbed Elgin Free Range Chickens breast, bacon, rocket, tomato, and mustard mayo served with chips. They also have a Tuna & Avo Open Sandwich made with shredded tuna, avo, cucumber, fried capers, rocket and dill served on a slice of sourdough.
Bootlegger Coffee Company rewards their loyal customers through their app where they offer free coffee upon download. They also have limited-time menus such as their Hot Cross Bun menu available until April 20th.
If you're looking for freshly baked pies or just want to enjoy a cup of coffee while watching The Ocean Race at V&A Waterfront in Cape Town this weekend then Bootlegger Coffee Company is the place to be! Their growth-driven approach and delicious menu make them one of the best coffee shops around.
