One of the best spots in Joburg! Great for working during the week and for a drink with friends on the weekend. Lovely staff who always greet you with warmth and kindness.
Awesome little cafe in Brixton. Waiter was very helpful, peaceful cafe great for doing some work. wifi was also of a decent speed. Coffee is great,smoothie not as much. GORGEOUS decor.
I’ve known about the Breezeblock Cafe for years. It’s a warm, quirky, ‘hood coffee shop. Styled with a mid century modern look. Could be back the 1970’s. With Free wifi. Large windows, Friendly people. I’d forgotten just how good it is to look south, instead of north. For lovely coffices
Probably won't be going back to this spot agai. Service was a bit shoddy. Food was meh. I'm sure on a usual day (if the wifi doesn't go off) it's a cute place but based on my experience, it's a 2/10 from me. Don't recommend.
