More Than Dessert: How Tapi Tapi is Reclaiming Indigenous African Flavours

Guest:Tapi Tapi  Founder Tapiwa Guzha

 Located in Cape Town's artistic centre of Observatory, Lower Main Road offers a fascinating array of thrift stores, cafes and restaurants best explored on foot. Among them is an unassuming ice cream cafe called Tapi Tapi (a Bantu ideophone [nyaudzosingwi] that means "sweet sweet") whose calligraphy-clad, alley-style entrance serves as an invitation to simply pay attention.  

That's because Tapi Tapi is no ordinary ice cream cafe. With a firm focus on rehabilitating the collective self-esteem of African people by sharing folk traditions, rituals and cultures through food practices, all its ice creams are handmade in small batches with ingredients typically communally sourced from the gardens of friends and patrons
