Introduction
South Africa has developed a vibrant coffee culture, with cities such as Johannesburg and Cape Town offering an impressive variety of cafés and coffee shops. Bedfordview is no exception, boasting numerous establishments that serve excellent cappuccinos, delicious breakfasts, light meals, freshly baked treats and quality coffee.
As someone who enjoys discovering great cafés, I regularly visit many of these venues with friends and members of our walking and hiking group. This article brings together our favourite coffee stops, honest reviews and recommendations to help you discover some of Bedfordview’s best cafés.
This guide will continue to grow as we visit and review additional coffee shops.

Bembom Bedfordview – Portuguese Café, Bakery & Restaurant
Founded by the passionate duo Charles and Lee Morte, Bembom has been delighting customers with expertly crafted coffees, freshly baked pastries and authentic Portuguese meals since 2010. The name Bembom, inspired by the Portuguese words bem and bom, means “awesome” — and that is exactly the experience Bembom strives to deliver.
Located at Bedford Village on Van Buuren Road, Bembom combines a welcoming café atmosphere with a bakery, deli and Portuguese cuisine. It is also a particularly convenient place to enjoy breakfast, brunch or a coffee before or after a walk, run or cycle.
Our verdict: Bembom Bedfordview is one of our favourite places to combine coffee, Portuguese food and a social walking experience. Whether you stop for a cappuccino and pastry, enjoy a full Portuguese meal, or join us for brunch after a walk, Bembom is a Bedfordview café worth discovering. 🇵🇹☕🥐
