Playville Cafe, next to Playville Planet in Bulawayo's CBD, draws praise for its subs and steak. Nancy (September 2024) enjoyed the “Beef Steak Perfection served with smooth mashed potatoes”, and Fanele (September 2024) named the 30cm Subs as a favourite, with the food, service and atmosphere all on point.
Josephine (September 2024) recommends the 30cm sub, “especially meatballs marinara”, and Andrew (September 2024) called the pizzas the best in town. Ruvarashe (August 2024) found the food good and the pricing “super friendly”, though the salad needed more chicken and the drinks menu was limited.
Free parking next to the mall comes up often as a bonus. Playville is open Tuesday to Thursday from 07:30 to 18:00, with slightly different hours on Mondays and weekends.
