Handsome and the Duchess

Handsome and the Duchess have been long time favourites for coffee, pastries and recently breakfast. The Husband and Wife duo are two of the most sweetest people I've come by. Their hard work, passion efforts is represented in the quality coffee and pastries.

I went to check it out Handsome and The Duchess, it’s one of the few cafes that are opened on a Saturday which makes it really good for kick ons after a big night out. They brew beans from Monastery Coffee, like Argo. I was skeptical about their coffee, but when they served my latte in a glass cup instead of a mug I knew I was in for a treat, and it was a treat; their coffee is tasty, I rate it a lot.

This is one of those little out of the place cafes you kind of have to be in the know to even know of its existence. The cafe itself is very small and cosy and normally quite busy which just shows you how popular it is and can get loud very fast. The coffee is perfect and there is a great selection of cakes and croissants, I ordered the Pink Lady for breakfast and admittedly it is the best French Toast I have ever had, covered with pears, almonds and a sprinkling of pomegranate even the lemon cream was one of those things you just can't get enough of, it is one of those breakfasts you'll be dreaming about for days. Definitely recommend and I'll be back again!

Wafting from behind an eclectic jumble of vintage kitchen gadgets is the sweet caramelly aroma of pastries baking. Mix that with freshly ground quality Elementary coffee beans and you know you’re already onto a winner. Scotty on the tools is a rare artisan who seamlessly churns out flawless coffee. And he’s as quiet as a mouse! The volume he’s burning through is impressive for such unannounced consistent perfection. This place is a hidden gem. You won’t regret it.

After hearing good things and not to mention the numerous rave reviews I thought it was high time I gave this cafe a crack. The place was rocking when I ordered my coffee. It has that industrial feel to it which I rather like. The service was good if a little slow and the coffee wasn't bad. The lad who brought it over noticed he'd spilt coffee into the saucer and offered to make a new coffee for me which was a nice touch but I'm not that precious : I'd certainly visit again and judging by the number of punters a lot of others already do!

Excellent service, due to Carona virus and limitations were very apologetic about reduced menu and waiting on stock delivery. There was no need as the breakfast they made was 1st class and service was friendly. Have been stuck in SA for nine weeks ans wish I found this place earlier. Support your local cafes.

Great little spot, exquisite quick lunches, e.g. this delicious vegetable sandwich full of delectable relish, beetroot, roasted capsicum, sprouts and mayonnaise

Delicious coffee followed with outstanding food. Breaky had flavours from both south east asia and middle east. Would Definitely return to this place. !

The place is always busy, the staff are friendly and efficient and the coffee is great. The food is delicious - especially the Steak Sandwich which isn't anything like a traditional steak sanga; it's way better! It's worth a visit just for that alone. Every dish is flavorsome and delicious and fresh. I've been having lunch here for ages and it's always great. Always.

Very flavoursome single origin coffee and a busy vibe in a tucked away location.
