Question 1

What makes Kafeneo different from other coffee brands in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

Kafeneo stands out by focusing on fast, affordable, and high-quality coffee designed for busy professionals. Unlike many lifestyle-driven coffee brands in South Africa, we prioritize speed, consistency, and reliability. Our small-format stores near schools and businesses serve up to 150 customers a day, with no compromise on quality. We train our team in-house and use technology like app ordering and local payment systems to streamline the experience. It's coffee that works for people on the go.

Question 2

Where did the name Kafeneo come from?

Accepted Answer

“Kafeneo” is inspired by the Greek word “kafeneio,” which refers to traditional neighborhood cafés where people gathered to talk, share news, and build community. We chose the name because it reflects our mission: to create welcoming spaces for connection—even if just for a quick meeting or coffee break. Our version of the kafeneio is fast-paced and modern but still built on the same values of accessibility, hospitality, and quality that defined its Greek origins.

Question 3

Is Kafeneo considered one of the best coffee brands in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

We’re working toward it every day. While we don’t claim to be the biggest, we’re consistently earning recognition for service and quality. Kafeneo sources beans from reputable suppliers and trains baristas in-house to ensure consistency across all stores. Our transparent operations, affordable pricing, and customer-first approach are designed to match the standards of the best coffee brands in South Africa—without the long wait times or premium prices. We're proud to be raising the bar.

Question 4

How many stores does Kafeneo plan to open?

Accepted Answer

Our vision includes launching 50 stores within the next five years. We’re starting in Centurion and Pretoria East, expanding into areas near schools and corporate zones where professionals and parents need reliable coffee fast. Each store is compact—25 to 30 square meters—with takeaway counters, app-based ordering, and a few work-friendly desks. We believe in perfecting the model before scaling, which means strong training, internal operations, and consistent service are baked into every new location.

Question 5

What kind of coffee experience can customers expect at Kafeneo?

Accepted Answer

Customers can expect a clean, fast, and welcoming environment designed for their daily routine. Whether grabbing a quick Americano before work or pausing at one of our hot desks for a quick call, Kafeneo is built around convenience. Our beans are ethically sourced, our baristas trained in-house, and our service optimized for speed. Unlike traditional cafés, we focus on helping customers get what they need—high-quality coffee, fast—with just enough space to breathe and reset.
