Hip Cape Town Hangouts

Afro Cool at Afro Coffee

— March 24, 2008 — Art & Design
Afro chic, afro funky... Afro Coffee is all the rage in South Africa. Afro Coffee is a new brand of coffee and a cafe that brews true African coffee. As they say, "no colonial stuff".

Not only is the coffee awesome, the cafe is the hangout in Cape Town right now. The owners pride themselves on more than coffee and have designed amazing products and tee collections. They use contemporary African cloth - bright, funky, with nostalgic and cultural imagery to make many of their awesome products. Their bags are especially popular, I just got sent one and I can't wait to get more. They aren't staying on the other end of the world in sunny South Africa, they are moving and grooving around the globe and just opened their first store in Salzburg!
Get your Afro groove on with Afro Coffee.
