Origin Coffee Roasting, Maboneng

Origin Coffee Roasting Johannesburg.


















Having spent some time in Cape Town’s coffee shops, and discovering a love for Origin’s coffee in that city, this coffee shop holds a special place in my heart. Origin Coffee serves a number of different blends, including their winter blend which is a combination of Indian and Brazilian beans. Order a cup of coffee at the bar counter, settle in to the communal seating area and meet someone new, or get some work done. The Origin Coffee store in the Maboneng Precinct is a trendy, restful hide with friendly staff and superb coffee.
