yes! i used BE to scout down a decent coffe in cape town. surprisingly, there were only TWO in all of Africa listed on BE.
Cafe Mozart did not dissapoint. I tasted a very smooth cup of java indeed. The notes were very subtle with a distinct nuttiness to it. the vibe at Cafe Mozart is devine. we sat under tree shaded patio. the building itself is very understated but with great character. the service was very friendly and laid back.
the owner, john, is a british ex-pat. he is a trained chef and has been living in south africa for a little over two years. when we sat at our table he was just chillaxing at the table next to ours, having a conversation with another man (another ex-pat from new zealand). they were both sampling some wine.
after our meal we introduced ourselves and they gladly and warmly invited us to have a sit. my wife and i had one of the most pleasant afternoons in cape town just chillaxing with the proprietor of cafe mozart. he was very engaging and charming. we talked shop. we talked coffee.
it was really nice to feel that, even on the other side of the world, i could find something in common in the most uncommon place.
if ever you are in cape town, cafe mozart must be your coffee destination. their web advert says, "the best coffee in cape town....end of story". well, before you get to the end of the story, make sure you find the whole story; starting with the double espresso!
thanks john for your warm hospitality....
