Those in the know credit this buzzing coffee shop with its hipster aesthetic for putting the suburb of Linden on the cool map. The food is freshly made cafe-style, simple and tasty – try the burger sliders – and the coffee and tea selection is top rate. On Friday evenings the after-work crowd swell the place for drinks and tapas and every morning the doors open early for delicious breakfasts, made with care and attention. The Potato Rosti Breakfast with poached eggs and homemade hollandaise is a favourite. This lovely spot is also dog-friendly (as the name suggests!), so bring your pooch on a leash for a true Joburg adventure.

While you are in the area it's worth taking a walk along 7th Street for great stores such as Arthur Bale's fabric shop, plus others stocking gifts, vinyl, vintage clothing and bric-a-brac.

This café is equipped with a backup power supply
