No sign outside
You'll drive past us the first time. Everyone does. We're the converted house with backyard parking — trust the pin.

Durban's
hidden gem.
A home away from home — inside a converted house on Henwood Road. No signage. All warmth.

Not your average café
Four small things that make it Cafe 61
The bookshelf
Pull anything off it. Read it while you wait. Put it back, or don't. It's a community shelf.
Meet Humza
Our resident café cat. He wanders. If he lands on your table and cats aren't your thing, just say the word.
Sundeck + couches
Outside in the light, or indoors on a soft couch with fresh flowers on the table. Wi-Fi's free either way.
From the coffee bar
Poured with care.

One café. Two missions.
Venue 61 & WeFeedSA
The same building doubles as an event venue. Every hire helps fund WeFeedSA — a non-profit supporting unemployed South Africans. Ordering a coffee here is a small thing. Adding up small things is why we're open.

"A hidden gem — feels like a home away from home. The Turkish Rose latte is unreal."
"So cosy. Quiet enough to work, warm enough to stay all afternoon. Made with love, you can taste it."
"You'd never know it's here — no signage, just a house full of good coffee, good food and Humza the cat."
