Cafe Focus: Freddo Cafe, PTA.

Friday, 5 December, 2025

Nestled in the heart of the Hazelwood Pretoria, Freddo Cafe is a haven for coffee aficionados and pastry lovers alike. Specializing in delectable pastries, cakes, breakfasts, and hearty ‘heat and eat’  items, the cafe’s true star is its coffee.

Guests choose between a bold dark roast Italian-style blend or a vibrant medium roast from specialty origins, each crafted to perfection.

At Freddo, the legendary Slayer espresso machine reigns supreme. Its standout pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee puck with low-pressure water before full extraction, allowing even saturation, reduced channeling, and enhanced flavour clarity. Paired with pressure profiling, individual brew boilers, and manual paddle control, the Slayer empowers baristas to dial in every shot. Every dose and yield is weighed for absolute precision, ensuring cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites etc are consistently extraordinary.
