Had a great little improptu coffee tasting (Ugandan, Rwandan & Guatemalan) at Great Brak's own coffee roastery, Brothers Coffee (also on Facebook), this afternoon. You'll find them located at the Pink House - head up Amy Searle Street, past Greenhaven and about 200 meters to your right after you've passed the gravel Sandhoogte Road turn which appears on your left (don't take this turn, it's just a direction marker!).
Ben and Jaco are really enthusiastic about sharing their passion for coffee - and they tell us they'll happily give a special little tasting and talk to groups of up to 8 people. Just call ahead (078 940 8301) and let Ben know you'd like to do that, so he can incorporate that into his busy roasting duties (Jaco mans the operation in Jo'burg, so if you're a Gautenger and you fall in love with their beans, you're in luck!). Or, if you just want to pop by for a coffee or to pick up a bag of beans (or grounds), they are open 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
If you can manage the steep driveway on the way back out to the road (#nowimps), this is the perfect spot for a caffeine stop on your cycling route - I'll definitely be adding it to mine!
