Seattle Coffee Company, Umdloti
Updated
Seattle Coffee Company, the South African coffee chain, now trades from the beachfront unit at Umdloti Centre, 1 South Beach Road, that Selections Cafe occupied until 2026. Confirmed locally by the site owner in September 2026.
Seattle Coffee Company is the national coffee chain with cafe stores across South Africa and counters inside FreshStop, Food Lover’s Market and other retailers. Its Umdloti branch trades from the beachfront unit at Umdloti Centre, 1 South Beach Road, the space that was Selections Cafe until 2026. The site owner, who lives in the village, confirmed the change in September 2026.
What to expect
The chain’s menu is the same everywhere: espresso drinks, filter, iced coffee and a small bakery counter. This branch sits a short walk from the tidal pool and the main beach, which makes it the obvious early stop before the sand.
What is unconfirmed
Opening hours, seating and whether it is a full cafe store or a smaller counter format. The chain’s store finder had not listed the branch at the time of writing. The Google listing, rating and photos will appear on this page automatically once Google has the branch indexed.
