Illy Go OR Tambo Airport

Stopped by the Illy Go coffee shop in the restricted departure area near gate A7 and A8 prior to our recent flight out of Johannesburg. This is a fair coffee shop with light bites. Seating area included 10-12 round tables in an open layout around the coffee shop. Service was a bit slow during our last visit but not an issue as we had quite a bit of time prior to our flight. On the occasion, we had two double espressos which tasted as expected of the Illy brand. We also tried a meat pie that was ok. Pie filling was more sauce than meat, crust just fine. Not sure if we'd order food here again but would be fine to take coffees here the next time we pass through O.R. Tambo. Overall, Illy-Go is pretty much what you expect and a good coffee option if you find yourself awaiting flights at O.R. Tambo and in need of a caffeine fix.

No decaffeinated coffee so had to have tea which was beyond horrible! Bought a vanilla muffin which is so stale its inedible. And for a tea and stale muffin we paid R80!! We told the staff and they just said "we'll tell management." They play blaring loud horrible music. Terrible experience!

I ordered a Cappucino and it tasted like hot water. The staff is very friendly, but that does not make up for a bas product.

The staff that served me was awful. They did not greet me nor even bothered to look at me at all. They were way too interested in talking to each other instead. I'd rather walk to one of the other bording gates to get a coffee than come back here. I don't expect exceptional service from an airport shop, just basic service. 2 stars because the fridge was cold.

2 female workers behind counter at this airport coffee station, got offended when i asked them to wear their masks, the one then loudly proclaimed to the public, that with or without your mask, you will die one day anyway....i find this irresponsible...bad management overseeing the staff.

Biggest rip-off ever. Rather buy food and drinks at other places nearby.
