Breezeblock

We are proud to offer a beautiful, home-grown, owner-run, cafe space in Brixton, Johannesburg.

Featuring an interior and courtyard designed by talented artist Justin Brett, our aim is to become Brixton locals’ favourite coffee shop and to draw other Jo’burgers to visit and appreciate our beautiful, diverse and artistic neighbhourhood.

Enjoy breakfast or lunch with a view of our succulent garden, fish pond and reclaimed tile mural. Enjoy lunch and a cocktail in our courtyard oasis. Come for a quick meal; come and linger over a chessboard, novel or newspaper. It’s also a great workspace given that we have high speed fibre internet! We also host parties and events, just contact us to discuss your needs.

We offer excellent coffee, great food, local craft beer on tap, and a beautiful space to enjoy.

Licensed and serve a great selection of wine, beer and cocktails.

We are located just 5 minutes up the hill from Melville’s 7th Avenue and 44 Stanley. Come try something new in Johannesburg’s trendy new cafe, restaurant and coffee shop.

Open Tuesday to Friday from 07h00-16h00,  and Saturday and Sunday from 07h00-16h00.

Find us at 29 Chiswick St, Brixton, JHB.

We love our neighbourhood and we hope that Brixton residents will enjoy the space we’ve created. The decor of our café and  courtyard was inspired by the colours and textures of the koppie we call our home, Brixton ridge, as well as the many heritage homes in the neighbourhood.

All are welcome! We have carefully crafted our menu to include affordable items so that everyone can find something that suits their pocket.

Our kitchen offers unpretentious, flavourful and healthy breakfasts, lunches and snacks. We offer vegetarian and vegan options. We are inspired by global flavours and interpret them into simple, tasty, home-style meals. Come hungry!

For breakfast we offer classics, like scrambled eggs on toast, creamy oats, or fruit, yogurt and granola. Our delicious signature dishes include our famous Dutch-inspired baked pancakes with bacon and roast tomatoes, Persian-inspired baked eggs, and the Mexican classic, huevos rancheros (sure to beat any hangover hunger!).  All-day breakfast options are available for those lazy weekend days (or when you just need some eggs!)

For lunch we have a range of “ultimate” sandwiches on our home-baked buttermilk and health breads, including a steak and tempura onion version, chicken and harissa, or haloumi and avo. Our hearty salads include our version of the Nice Niçoise, the Dense Green with broccoli, bok choi and cashews, or the Earthy Hearty salad with lentils and feta. We also make an excellent fillet steak, a delicious house curry inspired by Kashmiri flavours, and yummy chow-mein dishes in homage to the previous life of our space (which once upon a time was a Chinese restaurant).

 

We also offer a range of affordable snacks and meal options to cater to Brixton’s student community, or anyone on a budget. Try our famous creamy chicken livers served with a home-baked roll, the perfect toasted cheese and tomato sarmie, and the spicy chickpea cous-cous. 

We have a liquor license. Enjoy a Brixton Bitter craft beer, glass of wine or cocktail with your yummy meal.

For us, coffee is a serious business!

Our blend of beans from Brazil, Guatemala and Uganda is locally roasted in Johannesburg, chosen after extensive research. The result is a cup of coffee with smooth flavour that cuts through the milk, resulting in a superb espresso.

We chose our cup size to ensure that the ratio of espresso, milk and froth makes an excellent cappuccino. Our Barista regularly adjusts the grind to ensure a perfect extraction. 

If you are in a rush, grab a coffee to  go in a biodegradable take-away cup. Better yet, buy a re-usable bamboo cup and get your first coffee on the house.

 

Event and Venue hire. We often host fun and creative events that are open to the public, such as board game evenings, vinyl DJ afternoons, or film screenings. Like our Facebook page or follow our Instagram profile to stay up to date with what’s happening.

Are you interested in hosting an event in our space? We have a liquor license and are happy to host big groups for breakfasts, lunches, or private dinners. Audio-visual equipment can be provided if needed.

We are also happy to host your engagement, birthday, anniversary or end-of-year party, or mehndi, weddings, or other celebration.

Hire out our venue for fundraisers, corporate events, musical performances, album launches, or fashion shoots.

We are able to provide halaal meals through an external caterer for any event if it is required.
