What to Expect
Middy's Coffee Shop has been a fixture on Josiah Tongogara Street for years, and long-time visitors describe it as a routine rather than an occasion. Geoffrey, who called it “a serene oasis in a busy city” in April 2023, wrote that Middy's Jacaranda Smoothies “provide a taste sensation” in that same April 2023 review, and that Geoffrey goes there every day when in Bulawayo. Gillian (May 2026) named the shop's carrot cake “the best carrot cake in town”.
The garden setting gets mentioned often, with big shade trees and, per Rich (February 2023), “a fan inside blowing air if it's hot outside”. Tinashe (February 2019) picked out the beef ciabatta and the frozen mocha, and Ruvarashe (March 2026) liked a toastie with a “really fresh” side salad. Not every visit goes smoothly: Robert (August 2026) was served a cold steak pie and found the waitress “rude” and “disinterested”, a contrast to the warmth most reviewers describe.
Middy's opens from 08:00 to 16:00 and reviewers mention fast WiFi and a private meeting room for those working through a coffee.

As someone who travels and visits a lot of cafes in Europe and Africa... this one is on point! The food is delicious and price is really reasonable (especially if you're coming from a bigger city). The staff are friendly and attentive (especially Patti).
★★★★★
if you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere, serene and beautiful garden restaurant that warmly serves its clients with great food Middys coffee shop is one such place. Great beverages , the salads and steaks are not to miss.
★★★★★
A beautiful place to go and chill have a coffee or a milkshake with a piece of cake. Then, when you leave you should be at an optimum to return to the real world. Plenty of space, good WiFi and great staff add to the enjoyment.
★★☆☆☆
Unfortunately, I had a really disappointing experience today. I ordered a steak pie, which was served cold. While the other food we ordered was good, the service was extremely poor.
★★★★★
Very good service and the food is on point. Really loved the beef ciabatta, an option to consider when hungry. Chilled environment. That frozen mocha 😍😍😍😍
