Uncle Merv's Original Shakes Coffee

As a newcomer to the Maboneng Precinct this spot is fast becoming one of my go-to’s for a delectable coffee and croissant en route to work or a delicious sandwich when I need a lunch time pick me up and a quick spot of sun. Perhaps slightly on the pricey side for sandwiches, though I suppose one cannot complain too much as their bread, bagels and croissants are always fresh and service is always on point

Absolutely love the coffee and croissants from this lovely little coffee shop in the middle of the hustle and bustle that is Maboneng. Saturday morning market set up adds to the uniqueness of the experience: being able to have a quick chat with the stall owners greatly added to the morning.

Came to Uncle Merv's because almost everything else was closed on Easter Sunday and we also wanted to try something new. The carrot cake was brilliant and the smoothies were one of the best I had ever tasted but the prices were quite high. Overall, it was a nice experience.

The coffee was really good and the owners really friendly and giving advices about places to visit in Maboneng. They are really passionate about art. I recommend it

Been visiting Uncle Merv’s for some time now for some coffee and sandwiches. My favorite by far is the Tuna Sandwich. Firstly, the price of the Tuna might scare you but the quality is exceptional. The ingredients are high quality, and it takes some time to prepare due to the artistic process it takes to make the masterpiece. So it’s worth every Rand. The ambiance is great, the shop is situated at one of the busiest corners in Maboneng so the vibe is always fantastic. The service is great, it’s personal as Bongs makes sure to engage and know his customers well. I would recommend anyone to visit the place.
