The one thing we stand for‽
Once upon a time there was a coffee shop. Let’s call it Truth Coffee. It was founded by David Donde around 2009. He founded other shops before, such as the first artisan roastery in South Africa, Origin Coffee. And it was nice.
The End.
Well hardly. It was ok, but he had a dream, to build the best coffee shop in the world. 2012 he did that, in a converted Victorian 1898 warehouse. It took a year to build. It was built around the vintage 1940’s roaster, Colossus. And they achieved #1, well a few times in newspapers like The Times and Guardian in London. And life was good.
The Story is never complete, how can you tell‽ You are reading this.
