When one’s spirits need to be lifted, a smile or a sincere greeting can more than do the trick and that’s something I observed when I visited the Barista after a church service. I was welcomed, warmly, by Johnathan. A warm and friendly soul who...engaged with everyone in line and was exceptionally meticulous with his coffee brewing. It’s getting increasingly difficult to remember moments as I get older but I do hope to keep that Sunday morning in mind for a while to come.More

Coffee is great and so is the ambience of the space but I really wish the lamb and mint pies were more frequently available.

The Barista is my favorite place to go. The coffee never disappoints! All the baristas are friendly (Mo and Vuyo are the happiest souls) The atmosphere is unbeatable and just hands down a must visit spot

In a town filled to the brim with students and academics, a spot like this will always have feet. Since students and lecturers are on the hunt for a good coffee and light eats, Sisa decided to cater for their needs. The coffee is a...pleasant and not too punchy. Just the boost you need, when you visit Grahamstown/ Makhanda.More
