CoffeeTalks Cafe
CoffeeTalks Cafe is a family-run spot in Bloemfontein serving Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes meant for sharing. The menu includes mezze platters with hummus, homemade pickles, and sourdough bread, along with South African influences like boerewors. They roast and grind their own spices for dishes like shakshuka.
The cafe has a garden space where you can work or relax with free wifi. They also host events like drumming workshops and boardgame nights. You can rent boardgames like Scrabble, Cluedo, or Ticket to Ride Europe to play at your table while you eat.
Ingredients are sourced locally where possible, with an emphasis on free-range and vegetarian options. The cafe is near Bloemfontein's botanical gardens at Mizpah Lodge on Ray Champion Street. They serve breakfast and lunch buffets on Sundays with bottomless coffee and tea.
