Moto Café, located in a small business hub on Meridian Drive, is effortlessly cool and full of charm. With its unique motorbike-themed aesthetic and designated parking for bikes, it stands out as something truly special. The service is top-notch, with attentive and efficient staff, though the barista wasn’t accessible for a chat or questions. This café is the perfect spot for those who need a place to work, offering free Wi-Fi along with a great ambiance.

I started my visit by ordering an espresso, which arrived quickly with a delicious biscotti on the side. The espresso looked exactly as I expected, topped with a perfect crema. Then came the cappuccino — just top-notch. From the first sip, I knew that Moto Café deserved a spot in the top three of the competition. Known for serving some of the best cappuccinos in Umhlanga, this café keeps customers coming back for both the quality of the coffee and the incredible vibe. A must-visit!

Menu includes breakfasts, burgers, wraps, salads and sweet treats.
