Mazagran Espresso Bar

Occupying a small shopfront, the little space at Mazagran Espresso Bar is filled with coffee sacks, magazines, fresh flowers and a coffee roaster. The intoxicating smell of roasting coffee wafts out to the street and creates a meeting place for passing shop assistants, artists and students. Selling fresh coffee and beans by the bucket load, you can choose from single variety beans or a blend. The beans are imaginatively named: Mystery, Happy Honger, Brique Haus, Kick Ass and Jazz.

This hard-working little café is a hive of activity all day long and a great spot for grabbing a coffee before work. Mazagran is a cosy place that attracts a contemporary crowd, yet at the same time manages to be down-to-earth. It’s the Southern way.
