The administrative capital of South Africa, the city exists within reach of the sprawl of more well-known Johannesburg, and is home to countless government offices and administrative workers involved in running the country day to day. But Pretoria is also a city that celebrates South Africa�s more leftfield trends and characters
If Cape Town gets the country�s tourism, Pretoria has its creative sap. And so it follows, of course, that the city should be home to a fine cup of coffee.
Spout Coffee Company is an eye-catching new Pretoria cafe, and yet, this is not just another hip joint that could be on any continent. The vibe here is more about �gut feel�, as Spout owner Philipp Exter tells me, on �gut feel� and feels utterly at home here in Pretoria, a town known to march to its own beat beyond the administrative buildings and worker bees. For starters, the space has been built on unused lot space in Pretoria�s Hazelwood neighborhood, with the cafe occupying a pair of recycled shipping containers stacked on top of each other. It�s the first such recycled container space in the city, and the design touches throughout the small space help the bar to stand out.
