Seattle Coffee Company, Coffee shop in Sandton, South Africa
Seattle Coffee Company in Sandton is a coffee shop serving espresso-based drinks and artisanal snacks in a modern space with natural light and wooden furnishings. The place features an open layout designed for casual sitting and conversation.
The company started its South African presence in November 1997 with an opening in Cavendish Square, Cape Town, after being established in London. The brand has since grown into other South African locations.
The coffee shop works with Union Hand Roasted to source high-quality beans directly from African farmers and cooperatives. This approach connects the place to local growing communities across the continent.
The shop is located on Alice Lane and is easy to find with clear signage for pedestrians. Note that opening times vary by day, with earlier morning access on weekdays compared to weekends.
The beans are roasted at a facility in Muizenberg, Cape Town, using methods designed to preserve the specific taste profiles of each origin. This distant roastery shows the company's commitment to careful processing away from the retail location.
