Cedar, Cape Town

The Cedar story is one about two guys that decided that coffee was more than just a hobby, it was a way of life. Cedar was founded by Leigh Wentzel and Winston Thomas out of a yearning passion to make specialty coffee accessible to a larger conscious audience. It was built from many years within the industry mastering the craft for over seven years at leading roasteries within South Africa. Both Winston and Leigh led a personal journey at separate competing roasteries where they would be molded by leaders of the industry.

Coffee is a journey Cedar would like to take you on regardless of your expertise in the field. They all started their journey drinking instant coffee, let them show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. At the height of this is ensuring that they play their part in supporting producers and building a sustainable supply chain by sourcing coffees of high quality. This ensures that they remain quality-focused and sustainable throughout. They pride themselves on the African and Cape Townian heritage and strive to become the best coffee roastery in Africa and are recognized for their quality and expertise.
