Decent coffee, disappointing service
My recent visit to Motherland Coffee in Rivonia left me with mixed feelings. The general atmosphere lacked the inviting ambiance you might expect from a coffee shop, making it more suitable for a quick caffeine fix than a cozy coffee outing. The set up looks good and is probably a good place to get some work done as they even have a separate meeting room, but if you are going for a social coffee or smoothy, choose the take out option.
