  Good place for coffee and ice cream. Delicious avo and egg on toast. It takes a bit of time but it is worth it.

  UPDATED FOLLOWING OWNER's RESPONSE. I'm not going to lie, I love their ice cream. It's delicious and we usually visit at least 2 - 3 times a month. My complaint is environmental; plastic spoons and plastic lined cups. I understand Cicetekelo Youth Project is a charity working with street kids and orphans and generally disadvantaged people but there is no need to leave Zambia in a worse state. Even their polystyrene containers for takeaway ice cream / gelato aren't really reusable (unless you use them to store food in which increases your exposure to chemicals contained in the polystyrene) and NOT recyclable. My suggestions: * Stop selling in cups - a cone is edible leaving NO waste except a biodegradable or flushable paper serviette. If people want a cup, charge them extra or do what Cigarette companies do and show images of the damage the plastic lined cup is doing. Alternatively, get edible cups similar to the sugar cone ones you already have. Perhaps they can be made be Gigibonta which will further reduce your carbon footprint because it won't be shipped and will increase jobs for locals. * Buy bamboo or wood spoons if you have to keep cups. * If people bring their own mug, give them a discount. As you have shown, people want to pay less. So use signs to make it very clear that buying ice cream in a disposable cup is more expensive than buying it in an edible alternative. Explain with signs that you want to leave Zambia in a better condition than you found it. And if they don't want that, why don't they want that? Why do they want to live on a rubbish heap with waste blowing about in the street?
