Green Bean Coffee Roastery
Green Bean (who we have featurd a number of times) is probably our favourite micro roaster in Johannesburg. Based at Casalinga, Green Bean’s signature ziplock coffee packaging can be found at a number of retail outlets as well as at a select number of specialist sellers and markets.

4th Ave Coffee roasters is one of the oldest coffee bean suppliers in South Africa and is besed in the quaint yet bustling suburb of Parkhurst. If you want to see and smell your coffee roasting right in front of your eyes then it is well worth a trip to this little gem.

Double is located in the trendy area of Braamfontein and is one of the best up and coming roasters and coffee bean suppliers in Johannesburg. Double shot sells four signature blends of which three are of South American origin. DCST also offers a great range of craft ice teas and even provides a coffee bar service for functions and events.
Motherland Coffee
Although Motherland is not a roaster themselves we had to feature them on this list as their coffee is just that good. Motherland are famous for their two all African blends, all prepared by some of the best Baristas in South Africa. Motherland’s first store opened in the mall of Rosebank and their second followed shortly after. Watch this space for more Motherland stores opening up in an area near you.
Heavenly Coffees
Heavenly Coffees, are based in Centurion, however their beans can be found all around Johannesburg which warranted their inclusion in this list.
