A Cosy Joburg Corner

This café – a favourite of Melrose locals – pairs expertly brewed coffee with crisp, cheesy toasties made to order in a space that feels both modern and welcoming. The vibe? Casual meets cheerful, with smiles and friendly baristas setting a relaxed tone perfect for chats, quick catch-ups, or laptop work.

Social Siders and Café Culture

From joggers stopping in post-run to parents with kids, Melrose professionals squeezing in a work-break, and teens on after-school hangs – Hello Sunshine draws a diverse crowd. One loyal regular shared: “Pop in for a smooth coffee and warm, cheesy toastie that hits the spot every time.”

What’s New: Crispy Chips? Yes, Please!

Recently, the café introduced crispy chips as a side option – just R30 extra with any toastie, wrap, or salad – and Melrose chatter is loving it. That little add-on has fast become a weekend favourite, ideal for those who linger over good food and conversation.
