We're kicking off the year by bringing you the favourite coffee spots around the country, as voted for by you! We had over 3500 people submit their nominations and these spots came out on top. We've not included the major SA chains in these Top 10's as they can be found all over the country.
As promised, we are also giving away prizes to a few lucky people who put forward their favourite places.
