As the South African sun warms up the coastlines and cities, WCafé is stepping into the spotlight to redefine summer adventures. More than just a convenient break for busy shoppers, WCafé is reinforcing its status as an exceptional food destination. With the launch of its highly anticipated summer menu, the brand successfully blends the vibrant, relaxed charm of café culture with a commitment to premium, responsibly sourced ingredients.
Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to pause or a lively spot for a brunch with friends, the new seasonal selection offers something for every palate.
Refreshing Sips to Beat the Heat
The centrepiece of any summer menu is the beverage selection, and WCafé has delivered with a range of innovative, Instagram-worthy drinks. This season, “Cold Foam” takes centre stage. Coffee lovers can indulge in the decadent Hazelnut Cold Foam Latte, while those seeking a trendy, antioxidant-rich boost can opt for the fruity Berry Matcha Cold Foam Latte.
For those who prefer something zesty and ice-cold, the new selection of frozen lemonades offers the ultimate cool-down. With unique flavour profiles like Blueberry & Ginger or classic Mint, these beverages provide a sophisticated alternative to standard sodas.
Vibrant Plates for the Modern Palate
Moving beyond light snacks, the new summer food lineup focuses on nutrient-dense, flavorful dishes that don’t compromise on quality. Following the global trend toward plant-forward and protein-rich eating, WCafé has introduced:
The Tofu Scramble: A protein-packed option perfect for a light yet satisfying breakfast.
Spinach, Quinoa & Halloumi Bowl: A vibrant, textured dish that balances earthy grains with the salty indulgence of grilled halloumi.
Local Trout Plate: A standout dish celebrating fresh, local seafood that perfectly encapsulates the “fresh is best” philosophy.
Iconic Sweet Endings
No summer meal is complete without a treat. WCafé pays homage to both international favourites and local roots this season. The Strawberries & Cream Waffle is a classic crowd-pleaser, while the Clemengold® Malva offers a proudly South African twist on a beloved tradition, utilizing the sweet, citrusy notes of the famous Clemengold® mandarin.
The WCafé Legacy: Quality You Can Trust
Since opening its first doors in 2000 in partnership with Tribeca, WCafé has built a reputation on a simple but successful recipe: responsibly sourced organic African coffee and fresh, local food. Today, with 77 locations nationwide, the brand remains a staple of the South African lifestyle.
Every plate served features trusted Woolies’ Exceptional Quality™ ingredients, ensuring that “local” isn’t just a buzzword, but a promise. From 100% African organic Arabica beans to responsibly sourced produce, the café provides a space to connect over food you can feel good about.
Whether you choose to dine in and soak up the premium café atmosphere, grab a takeaway, or order via Uber Eats, WCafé remains the ultimate summer destination for those who value quality, convenience, and flavour.
