Here in the Cape, we are a bit twisted. Who can blame us? a diverse cultural heritage is a serious understatement. Diversity is all about the upsides. Yes, our glasses tend to run half full. This menu is a celebration of how that diversity has defined food in the South of Africa, and in the Cape, more specifically. We have tradition, culture, icons and of course, clichés. This is us embracing that good stuff and deliberately getting it all wrong in a most delicious way. Celebrating and honouring the culture that we all grew up with and are so proud to be a part of. Shoo-wow, Gastro-Kaap is a thing, don’t hate us, please?

    This is my fifth visit since we moved to lock down stage 3. In that time I’ve been very impressed with the safety and social distancing efforts in Truth to safeguard my health. The staff are always great and motivated and I love the smooth coffee and my regular choices of food.

    Hi Ruen Thank you for the feedback - I am sorry that our service let you down. Would you mind letting me know how we messed up? Or would it be easier if we were to call you? Thanks so much Ken ken@truthcoffee.com / 082 578 7937

    I’ve been a regular weekly visitor for the past 3 years. At the present time I particularly like the Truth approach to my safety before and during my visitors. Temperature checks, sanitization and social distancing are excellent. Great staff to look after you as well.

    I’ve been a weekly regular for the past 3 years and I’m happy to be back. I’ve made bookings for every Monday in July. Everyone of my overseas visitors loves the atmosphere there. The people who work there are great.

    The decaf oat milk cappuccino was undrinkable. Tasted like vinegar with salt.
