Our story

Where history meets hospitality

Nestled in the historic Magistrate's Residence, built shortly after the Anglo-Boer War, Cuppa Caffe brings new life to a landmark that once served as the official home of the local magistrate.

The house

An Edwardian landmark on the corner

Located on the corner of Beyers Naude Avenue and Dr James Moroka Avenue, the building retains its timeless charm: the distinctive hipped roof, dormer windows and wooden verandah railings. Today we invite you to step inside, savour our handcrafted coffees, and indulge in freshly prepared meals and baked treats.

Since 2009 the house has been Cuppa Caffe, a warm and welcoming space for breakfast on the stoep, a working lunch, or a slice of cake in the garden.
