This post, featuring Tarantino’s, is the fourth in an occasional series about my favorite new coffeeshops in Joburg.
I’ve written a couple of posts before about secret Jozi coffeeshops (see here and here). But the secret-ness of those coffeeshops pales in comparison to the secret-ness of Tarantino’s Coffee Co. in Marshalltown, on the eastern side of the Joburg CBD.
Last week I got an incredible opportunity to visit the Sentech Tower, a.k.a. the Brixton Tower.
A picture I took a few years ago of the Sentech Tower at sunset.
A few months ago I blogged about Feigel’s Kosher Delicatessen in Glenhazel. I was excited to find Feigel’s because they sell authentic boiled bagels, which are hard to find in Johannesburg.
Last week I was invited to try out a co-working space called Basecamp, which is in Linden.
A co-working space is basically an office for people like me – people who don’t exactly have jobs. I’d been wanting to try one for a while, hoping that working in a quasi-office-like environment would help me to be more productive.
As I’ve said before, I consider myself to be an unfashionable person. But the longer I live in South Africa, the more fashionable I feel. I find the fashion in South Africa – and Africa in general – more fun than fashion in the United States. (No offense, American fashion designers: It’s not you, it’s me.)
