20 Years of Origin. ☕✨🖤
This year we’re celebrating two decades of coffee and community.
From the producers we partner with to the communities we serve, every cup has always been part of something bigger.
As one of South Africa’s first artisan roasters, we set out to raise the standard of coffee and we’ve never stopped.
Thousands of single origins explored.
A generation of baristas trained.
Countless national Barista Championship titles earned.
And through it all, it has always been about the people behind the cup.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
Keep an eye on our socials, the celebrations are just getting started.

To all morning people
We know you love coming to our Café and spending your hours on our banquettes enjoying speciality coffees, but for now we are undergoing construction to make your beloved second home even better!
WE ARE STILL OPEN
Please excuse the noise and sit in our dedicated upstairs area to escape right back to your lounging days.
They say change is as good as a holiday.
Come and see what we are up to and grab your favourite single origin whilst you are at it.
Construction begins today, see you all there for a coffee ☕️

Another amazing, limited reserve release from Elkin Guzman of Finca El Mirador in Colombia (hope your Spanish is good!).
This lot is a natural, fermented with a starter created from the 60hr fermentation of ripe coffee cherries with locally-picked, fresh strawberries. This inoculates a 270hr anaerobic fermentation, then the coffee is carefully dried in a thin layer followed by normal sun-drying.

Update: Due to the unknowns with the transport situation, and to protect the safety of our staff, on Tuesday 8 August we will be running our De Waterkant Cafe for takeaway coffees and beans only.
You are welcome to order at the hatch or sit down, but all service will be at the counter only. The kitchen will be closed. We will have some croissants for those who get here first.
Thanks to our team members who are nearby or able to get here safely - to make sure you can get your caffeine fix (Jose, Hayley, Fikile).
Apologies for any inconvenience and we will keep you updated re: Wednesday.

Our team have been extraordinarily dedicated in trying to operate as best we can during these transport disruptions. We trust you can understand that we are doing our best to serve you.
The current situation is resulting in extremely long or impossible commutes for many of our staff, so we will be running short hours on Mon, Tue & Wed this week, at which point we hope the unrest has ended.
7am - 8am - Coffee and grab & go food orders at the counter. Feel free to sit but there will be no table service.
8am-2pm - Kitchen open and floor service normal (as best we can)
2pm-3pm - Coffee & grab & go orders at the counter.
Thank you for your understanding.

Zahara born Dec 2004 (1 year before Origin HQ). Jordan born Jun 2005 (6 months before Origin HQ). Origin - born Dec 2005, HQ cafe opened 9 May 2006
Jorge and I sat together over a coffee in the early days and talked about our kids being behind the bar...
Next photo - 4 longstanding Origin team members. Their 4 kids all working at HQ together with their parents. Who would have believed it. 17.5 years later.
Next shoot, we get as many of the kids of the Origin team as we can get in the same place at the same time. Watch this space.
