I'm a coffee snob and I find that any Seattle Coffee is my dealer of choice for the dark brew. They are consistently good, which I cannot say for other coffee purveyors, who tend to vary in quality based on location.
They are often adjoined to Caltex service stations. Caffiene!!

Home of Nelson Mandela before his incarceration. Now a museum and flanked by tourist-trappy hawkers, this national gem is a must for first-timers to SA. Take a walk to the sight of the infamous 1976 Soweto uprising and haggle with hawkers for curios and crafts before settling in for a local beer at one of the many shebeens (informal pubs) in the area. If you're brave you can ask the locals to point you in the direction of the best Smileys (boiled sheep's head) and Walkie-Talkies (Deep fried chicken beaks and feet).
