Our story

A little café with a big heart

Two alpacas in their enclosure at golden hour on MyAfrica Farm

Alpaca Cafe began with a simple idea: that a neighbourhood deserves a place where the coffee is taken seriously and nobody is rushed out the door.

We bake everything in-house before sunrise, pull shots from beans roasted just across town, and keep the kettle on for whoever wanders in. Some guests stay for a quick espresso; others settle in with a book for the whole afternoon. Both are exactly right.

The views are waiting and the coffee is brewing.

The real hosts

Meet the alpacas

Four fluffy personalities greet our guests every day. Come say hello — they love visitors almost as much as they love snacks.

The rest of the family

Meet the goats, sheep and dog

Peaches, Daisy, Poppy and Christiano keep the paddocks busy, Sydney the sheep tags along everywhere, and Zoe makes sure nobody leaves without a hello.
