Bembom Bedfordview
Bembom Bedfordview is a Portuguese café in Bedford Village, serving coffee, pastries and meals since 2010. The menu focuses on traditional Portuguese recipes, from freshly baked pastries to full meals, all prepared daily. The café uses Lavazza coffee, known for its rich flavour.
The founders, Charles and Lee Morte, named the café after the Portuguese words 'bem' and 'bom', meaning 'awesome'. The space aims to bring a taste of Portuguese culture to Germiston, with an emphasis on authenticity in both food and atmosphere.
Located in Bedford Village on Van Buuren Road, the café is part of a small chain with multiple locations across Gauteng. The Bedfordview branch operates as a casual spot for coffee, quick bites or full meals. Leftover food is donated daily to reduce waste.
The café serves through the day, with options for takeaway and delivery via platforms like UberEats and Mr Delivery.
