Awesome coffee and service, but the gym next door ruins the atmosphere. The screaming, shouting, dropping of weights and booming music make it impossible to have a conversation and it feel like you’re in a night club. What were they thinking

Lovely welcoming Barista that knows his stuff. Spent time talking to us seeing that it was a bit quiet. Clean modern interiors, great menu, serves ristretto and the best flavored coffee. Deffos excellent coffee, well balanced. First time here and bought a bag too.

Love Plato coffee, and the De Waterkant outpost does well. Good coffee, cool location, service was a touch less friendly than what I’m used to from Plato location but still stacks better than elsewhere. Worth a visit if you’re around

Good sit down or takeout coffee shop with a unique name. Coffee was good and on par with most coffee chains terms of quality. The space is shared with other business and seating options are also unique with step style benches and a few chair outside the shop.

Give them a vist if you are in the area.

Great coffee, great service, lovely decor, however, the gym next door is so annoying and loud. People dropping heavy weights constantly, loud music, sweaty smelly gym members coming into the cafe straight after their workout. It would be a perfect coffee spot if there wasn’t the gym in the same building.
