Vida e Caffe

Vida e Caffe is a South African café franchise, founded in 2001 and inspired by the style of Portuguese espresso bars, serving coffee and light food. It has grown into the largest café chain in the country by number of outlets, now operating around 400 stores across South Africa and several neighbouring African countries, and trades today as part of the Shoprite Holdings group. The brand also operates sweetbeet, a smaller, health-focused restaurant chain under the same parent company.

The Edgemead branch trades as Shop 10 in Edgemead Village Centre, confirmed by the centre's own tenant listing. It suits local residents and shoppers after a quick coffee or a light bite while running errands around the village centre, rather than a sit-down restaurant meal.
