Cafe Haas

Trying to get WiFi on a Sunday, I went a place my fellow swiss intern collegues told me about and Lonley Plant told me to go Café Haas on Rose Street.

It’s impressive, how Cafés in Cape Town tend to be bigger on the inside, like the Tardis. You can see a tiny room through the windows from the outside, inside it goes around one corner, through doors, to a courtyard, sometimes upstairs and so on. There are so many waiters, that you think it should be quick to get whatever there. Getting coffee actually is and most of the coffee is pretty decent. But getting the password to the internet seems to be tricky. Here at Café Haas the waiters wear all black and a black top hat. It looks wonderful, but doesn’t make the service any faster.

Not fast, but resourceful: The waiter cleaning the table beside me just dipped his table cloth in the water jar, the girl left there, to clean the table with. :)
