Tony’s

Run by the eccentric and hospitable Tony, this little coffee shop has become famous in the Bvumba region with most travellers finding the time to come and enjoy one of his speciality coffees and homemade cakes, not to mention the fifty or so different teas!

His little house was immaculately cared for and exquisite in its details - from the carefully crafted gardens, to the from the tiny wooden houses that served as garden lights, to the rich and inviting interior that wouldn't have been out of place in 17th century France.

Tea and coffee was served on the most delicate of china with solid silver milk jugs and sugar bowls that were astonishing heavy for their small size. Tony's was a real find.

We had soon made ourselves comfortable; bring our books and various maps and settling in for the afternoon with a bottomless Café Latte and a slice of decedent chocolate cake – it was quite the most decadent thing we had done in months and just what the doctor ordered.
