I matched with the owner on Tinder, otherwise wouldn't have known about it, best Americano I've ever had!
The coffee exchange is a great placevto go, a very relaxed environment with warm service great food and coffee. I go there to brush up on my work, have a cappuccino and use the reliable wifi. Two thumbs up
Now, this is definitely a Coffee we won't Exchange, no sirree.
In a little old street in Parkmore you enter a cozy coffee café, with wooden decor and warm lights inviting you to venture in deeper. It was quite odd that they were completely empty on a Sunday morning at 11 am, which made us wonder if they would be worth it. It took a few seconds, but before we knew it, the place was packed and the waiter/barista/teller had his hands full running around getting to everyone.
This is the promised land of coffee. Oh My Goodness This has got to be the best coffee, we have ever had. Pure indulgence, smooth and perfectly extracted. Just a cup of love, a cup of life. This is what real and proper coffee is all about.
We decided we wanted to grab brunch. So we grabbed an Old English Breakfast, 2 fried eggs, 3 rashers of bacon, beef sausage, grilled tomato, mushroom, and hashbrown. The hashbrown was a letdown, it kind of tasted as if it was a bit underdone, but everything else is what makes a great breakfast, especially those mushrooms, oh my golly. With that, we also went for The Banting, 2 poached eggs, grilled halloumi, sliced avocado and basil cherry tomatoes. This was sooo yummy, every ingredient was fresh and vibrant with poached eggs prepared the way they are meant to be.
Even though there seemed to be only one waiter/barista/teller, everything ran smoothly. Not only did he go to each table to get their order, go back to make coffee and bring drinks and food, he did it all in a timely manner. Oh yeah, he also went to everyone when they needed to pay, as well as help people that just walked in that wanted to get a coffee to go. This guy was playing all the positions in one match.
For two people that got delicious breakfast with 2 cups of coffee, each, for about R200, this place is definitely worth every penny.
TTT recommends you come here on a relaxed Sunday morning, and just grab a cup of coffee and enjoy it.

The Coffee Exchange gets a 'Fist Bump' from Two Tasty Tummies
Best coffee you’ll find in Joburg. The food is great too. My favourite is the Belgium chocolate mocha!
I love the coffee here, but I the tramezzini is the best one I've eaten. I suggest the spinach and feta. The tramezzini bread is light and slightly crispy. Triple fried chips are great. What it lacks in views, it makes up for in friendly service
Nice convenient coffee shop near Sandton CBD..
One of the best coffee shops in JHB searchef long and hard, it was worth it. The service is also amazing :)
Love this place. Excellent coffee and a quite surrounding
The quality of their coffee is slightly above average but it was served lukewarm. The breakfast was fine. The service wss slow and inattentive.
For a coffee shop, the coffee was not that great. Tea was served in a pot that needed at least half of it to be full for the teabag to be in the water. Cups appeared to have chipped paint, which may be done to add to the "rustic" look of the shop, but it just feels old and unmaintained.
Not great. Not my first choice for a coffee shop. Food looked ok.
Bored in Sandton traffic? This place will save you! It has a small but tasty menu and the coffee is divine The atmosphere is laid back and the staff is friendly. Really well-situated and a convenient coffee stop in the early mornings before work!
Great drinks great service, will be back to sample food.
The coffee is good, decor not so much.
Limited, tasty menu. Good service and nice beer.
Quant cafe. The food was reasonable and good quality. Ironically, have not tried the coffee yet.
The coffee is fantastic and the barista knows what he's doing 🙌🏼 perfect lattes. Was so surprised—didn't know they had brunch—their Sunday food is delectable and the service great. Perfect place for a Sunday lounge.
A lovely trendy, coffee shop in the Parkmore area with delectable food options on offer. Really good coffee too!
