Lovely place for eating or just have a coffee or something like that. One of the best places to have a good breakfast with excellent bread... Very special architecture with some little craft shops. A good example that Maun is more than a airport or a springboard to the Okavango Delta... Definitely recommended.

Great atmosphere. Feels a little like a Burning man or AfrikaBurn theme camp. Stage with good dancing performances. Little shops, coffee shop, dance studio.

Really nice location, clean and fresh air. Staff is really nice and fast. The food comes within 10 minutes or less and is delicious. Prices are not enough for this quality!
