Shift: Cape Town's Hub for Unconventional Brews and Connected Souls

Shift Coffee isn't just a café; it's a testament to transformation, born from founder Luigi Vigliotti's family's significant life change in Cape Town. A former dancer with Italian roots, Luigi personally scoured 50 roasters to curate Shift's exceptional coffee, embodying the brand's mission to inspire human connectivity and challenge the café status quo.

The interior reflects this ethos with a dark-toned indie aesthetic, industrial elements like zigzagging copper light fittings, and metal piping shelves, creating an "anything-goes" ambiance designed for work, study, or simply connecting.At Shift, the coffee portfolio boasts two distinct house blends: a rich Italian and a full-bodied African, known for its thick crema and notes of chocolate and caramel. Beyond the classics, prepare for an adventure with unconventional signature drinks like "The Hashtag," "The Rebellion," and "The Italian Plumber," featuring playful ingredients such as condensed milk, Oreos, gelato, and Nutella.

This commitment to unique experiences extends to the space itself, offering free Wi-Fi, laptop plug points, and cell phone charging stations, ensuring every visit to Shift is as comfortable and inspiring as it is delicious.
