Coffee is top notch. Process and quality is 5 star. Barista was friendly and this is now a compulsory stop when in Hermanus. Best coffee is town.

Let me plug you — Plato is a little coffee shop on Long Street in Hermanus that’s absolutely worth the stop. Think clean aesthetics, cozy vibes, and the kind of barista energy that’ll scribble “Stay awesome ” on your cup just because. The coffee? Smooth, rich, and made with care. Go once, and you’ll be back.

What a lovely spot for Plato! It's a quick in and out with a nice patio area in the sunshine to enjoy your beverage. Loved their dark hot chocolate and the special message on our cups from their baristas.

As a coffee enthusiast I always like hunting for new coffee spots. This time around I tried Platō Coffee in Hermanus and they didn't disappoint. We visited early morning and they were already busy showing how popular they are. They have a good selection of different coffee styles to choose from. I opted for the Koleha, which was strong and really hit the spot, while my friend went for the Plato. For the kids we got some Watermelon Freezos which they really enjoyed. If you are looking to grab something to eat while at Platō they do have some fresh pastries like croissants available. Although the coffee shop itself is quite small, they do have both indoor and outdoor seating if you decide not to take a coffee on the go. I can definitely recommend a visit, especially if you love a cup of good coffee.

The place is nice and clean Coffee is the best!! I went there for coffee run every day on my stay in Hermanus — love it! Plus! Chocolate croissant so crisp, the best

Quaint spot for coffee. Loving the vintage setting. Main thing is the coffee is superb..

The coffee maker is super friendly and coffee is made perfectly, even the freezo’s are made exquisitely.

Plato Coffee in Hermanus is the perfect place to grab a takeaway coffee and then take a walk down to the Harbour. The coffee never disappoints me. The staff are friendly. There is seating outside and 2/3 small tables inside. Their freezos are delicious.
