With a menu that features pressed juices, activated charcoal shots and a range of nut milks, The Electric attracts a hip and healthy crowd. The high-ceilinged cafe screams industrial-chic, with lots of bare brick and iron rafters on show. On the food menu (mains R45-60) you'll find sandwiches, flat breads, soup and the ubiquitous avo on toast.
