Afro-Boer Garden Café
Afro-Boer
A garden bakery café on the east side of Pretoria that blends African and Boer home cooking into brunch. Its fried dough balls and cakes are crowd favorites.
Afro-Boer is at 1 Meerlust Road in Equestria, Pretoria East, a bakery café that fuses African and Boer home cooking. The quiet garden has outdoor seating and a children's play area, making it good for families and gatherings, and it is a popular weekend brunch spot with locals. Signature dishes include vetkoek (fried dough filled with minced meat), biltong eggs Benedict and Dutch pancakes, plus cheesecake, carrot cake and a cream tart milkshake. Gluten-free and vegan options are also available. Reviews consistently praise the atmosphere and baking, but several mention slow service, so book ahead for weekend peak times. Driving is recommended.
