Rosetta Roastery Claremont

Rosetta Roastery was founded in 2010 by three friends, Jono Le Feuvre, Rob Cowles and Jeff van Aswegen, who traded a shared band for a shared love of specialty coffee. They have built one of South Africa's best known roasteries on a simple idea: no house blends, just a rotating range of single origin coffees from celebrated growing regions, offered the way a restaurant offers a seasonal menu. The Claremont cafe opened in November 2025 on the ground floor of a handsome building under the slopes of Table Mountain, with the roastery itself right next door.

A dedicated filter brew bar anchors the room, with a choice of rotating single origin coffees for espresso drinks and the full Rosetta range close at hand. A reserve coffee freezer menu offers limited edition favourites brewed to order as pour overs, and the kitchen here offers a more extensive food menu. The roasting team works next door, and visitors are welcome to say hello and perhaps catch a roast in progress.
