Im from Bots and live in Perth, Australia. And Equitorial coffee is 1 of the best even comparing internationally! The people who commented hating the coffee simply do not like it because they have not developed a taste for it. That is where you get the best latte! Here in Aussie the latte is so bitter! Its a question of... More

The food and beverage here is really not that enjoyable. I once ordered an ice coffee, which took over half an hour to arrive and all it was was coffee in a glass with ice.... it was still hot -_- The food is average too and overpriced for what you get, service is average but be prepared to wait a...

The coffee's good, the food perfectly fine, but nothing exciting. My only real criticism is that the service can be slow, particularly when it comes to subsequent orders like a second coffee. A good location for meetings.

Love the burgers!!! And the lemonade is gorgeous. Salad is good, but sometimes some of the meat in some salads can be a bit salty.

Yes, it is a coffee shop located at the entrance to a popular shopping center. Nothing remarkable.

Popular with ExPats located in Riverwalk Mall on the Tlokweng Road. Service was quite slow (not unusual in Gaborone). Smoothie was very fake tasting (Crusha style). I had an OK beef wrap. A little expensive for what you get. The service is a bit of a lottery depending on where you sit and if other customers get in first!

The place to go for a good coffee! Africa does not have a starbucks on every corner,so this is well worth the drive.

Got it all. Nice location, wifi, great coffee, selected but good snacks, desserts. Inside & outside seating and maintain their standard all the time. For any traveller, business person or a local its a great place to unwind for a coffee after a hard day.

As far as Botswana goes the service here is off the charts! The free wifi is a real boon. Contrary to the reviewers above this is not the only place to get decent coffee +/- Free wifi in Gaborone. Hell, it's not even the only place to get decent coffee at Riverwalk mall! At the rear of the Mall is... More
