Home of the Bean is one of Maboneng’s most loved coffee spots — a warm, owner-run specialty coffee shop in the heart of Johannesburg’s inner-city arts precinct. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, Home of the Bean has built a devoted following for carefully sourced, freshly roasted coffee served with genuine care.
Beyond the excellent flat whites and pour-overs, expect a relaxed all-day menu of breakfasts, brunch plates and baked goods, plus beans to take home. It’s the kind of neighbourhood cafe where regulars are greeted by name and first-time visitors quickly become regulars.
Why visit Home of the Bean
Maboneng is best explored slowly, and Home of the Bean is the perfect place to start or pause a wander through the precinct’s galleries, shops and markets. The coffee is the draw, but the friendly, creative atmosphere is what keeps people coming back.
It’s also an ideal caffeine stop for anyone in the area for the 702 Walk the Talk or exploring inner-city Johannesburg on foot.
