The coffee is good, but I cannot claim the free coffee because the voucher system has changed.

Love the people almost more than the coffee. Great bunch of guys and girls. The coffee always a treat and the best i'd say. Nice central location in route to either Stellenbosch, paarl or cape town. Worth a stop

Best Cortado! Great stop, friendly staff and conveniently next to the road at a fuel station. Great grab and go. Thanks TK, Farouk, you guys rock!

Good coffee, a perfect post ride or pit stop while cycling!

Stopped off on opening day and was blown away by the friendliness of the folk and baristas. The quirky, pleasantly fresh experience, and most importantly, the time and care taken to create the perfect, custom brew. We use any excuse under the sun to drop by and enjoy the people, place and product. Well done Platō Coffee Team.

As a serial coffee drinker I can safely say Plato is currently my favourite. I have a coffee account with a coffee shop near my office ~3k p/mth, which doesn't come close.. definitely recommend stopping in.. shame I work 50kms away..!

It’s rare for me to give reviews for coffee, especially 5 star reviews - the staff here deserve it ⭐
