Vida e Caffè is a Cape Town-based chain in the Food and Beverage Services sector operating as a coffee-focused café brand offering beverages and light fare. In 2024, the company expanded its menu with functional add-ons, introducing CBD, collagen, and a signature mushroom mix across its cafés in Africa. The business broadened its food offerings in 2022 by acquiring Sweetbeet, a Cape Town healthy-food brand, signaling a move toward healthier options. The brand has grown beyond its core market, opening a kiosk in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in 2019 as part of its regional expansion. Collaborations and sponsorships have accompanied its growth, including a 2023 partnership with Aquarium that supported free coffees at a community event. Based in the Western Cape and with a substantial workforce, vida e caffè operates as a mid-sized regional player in the African coffee scene, with a footprint that includes Durban and other urban centers.
