Father Coffee in Rosebank has such a vibe but relaxed feel. The coffee, and the array is just out of this world. With soo many brew options as well, it can leave you a little overwhelmed, but I would have it any other way. And Neo, the Barista? Amazing. Friendly. Knowledgeable.

Were looking for a nice Café which also serves breakfast, and were immediately convinced by its Google reviews and pictures. I fell in love with it the moment we entered! The cakes and buns and breads all look (and taste!) incredible, they are also specialists with regard to coffee beans and styles. Extremely attentive and cool waiters who gave recommendations! I really liked the modern interior where people also go to work (there are plugs). Sourdough bread also recommended. Would have loved to try everything on the menu!!

What speciality coffee should look like. Walk in and you immediately know that you are in for a coffee experience. Their range of coffee AND coffe brewing methods? Top tier. Want more sips? Check out @sipswithsethbw on TikTok and IG

I had a fun time. For a compact space it felt spacious. I like that they have table tennis at their store. It's really refreshing. The play area can be closed to contain the noise. I ordered a flat white, it was made at a suitable temperature, warm enough to drink. The milk used was taste with some sweet nodes to it. A great beverage when starting to take your coffee without sugar. Friendly customer service. They have an innovative means of accessing the menu via QR code on the dinning in tables, although they do have a menu at the counter, which is where you place your order. You order at the counter, and your order is served at your table. Hot and cold beverages are available, breakfast: toasted sandwiches, muesli, yogurt, fruits and etc are sold. It's a great gem.

I was excited for visiting this café and it didn’t disappoint - there’s great coffees, and delicious food. Over the course of two mornings I got to try four different coffees - all were excellent and the staff is skilled, knowledgeable and just very friendly. Thanks guys, I’ll see you tomorrow morning again!
