“A favourite haunt for the local freelancers – free wifi wins friends, for sure – and the semi-suburbanites, the weekday crowd is mostly familiar faces.”

“It's a place where there are friendly smiles, the barista knows how you like your coffee, the Wi-Fi is fast and the food is reasonably priced but special.”

“ It’s got this sort vibe where everybody chats and chills like they’ve been forced to sit on the same sofa...They’ve got about every breakfast you can imagine, and I can guarantee you, they’re all wholesome and fresh”

“Red Sofa is popular because: they’re open from 7am, they have WiFi passwords like ‘baconroll’, their coffees automatically come with a double shot of espresso, their veranda has views of Table Mountain, and their cheesecake is said to be unmissable.”
