Working from home is now the norm and load shedding an even more constant threat, we look at restaurants and coffee shops that offer all the remote working conveniences. Nowadays, for a coffee shop to make it on the ‘favourite list’, Wi-Fi and accessible plug points are prerequisites. Here are the Mother City’s spots that cater for your remote working needs.

Truth Coffee

Only a two-minute walk from District Six Museum, this café is for the proclaimed coffee lovers, with its home-roasted coffee and exotic premium blends that have equally exotic names like Black Honey, Resurrection and Nicaragua premium blends. If not for the coffee, then drop by for its Wi-Fi which is free for as long as you’re there.
