What to Expect
Loco Cafe Hwange is a roadside coffee stop marked by a large steam engine near a highway roundabout between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. Von (October 2025) said the staff's “service was absolutely fantastic and very friendly” over fresh iced coffee, and Lindsay (October 2025) found the coffee “made to perfection” by knowledgeable baristas.
Nokuthaba (November 2025) rated the food “10/10” but said the service “was a big letdown”, with staff standing around chatting. Gugulethu (February 2026) enjoyed the garden setting but found the WiFi too weak to connect.
Loco Cafe Hwange is open daily from 07:30 to 18:00.

What Diners Say
★★★★★
After a long search for a good cafe with decent internet and proper coffee on the A4 highway to Victoria Falls from Bulawayo, we discovered this place due to the massive train engine park located right in the middle of the road roundabout. You can't miss it.

Such a welcome and pleasant surprise to find this quaint, clean coffee shop, and to top it off, the coffee was made to perfection. The baristas were knowledgeable regarding coffee temperature and preparation, and waiters were very friendly.

Stopped here for coffee on our journey from Victoria Falls to Hwange Safari Lodge. Nice cup of coffee and small selection of cakes available. There's also toilets, petrol and a small shop. Interesting steam engine.
