Seattle Coffee - with over 85 outlets across South Africa - is selling cappuccinos, lattes and hot chocolates for only R6,95 on Wednesday to celebrate its 21st birthday.
An Americano is selling for R5.95 and a caffe mocha for R8.95.
The South African company believes the prices are “straight outta 1997” when it first opened its doors in Cavendish Square, Cape Town.
Seattle cappuccino and latte prices typically start at R24.50 at Seattle, hot chocolate at R29, an Americano at R21,50 and caffe mocha R30.
This means consumers will save more than 70% today.
