What people are saying

The Second Story on Bedford Road roasts its own coffee, and reviewers treat it as a specialist stop rather than a quick coffee shop. Backd00rher0 (January 2026) called the espresso “well balanced with good acidity and bright fruit notes” and said the barista was “skilled, friendly and knowledgeable”. Mazri (November 2025) agreed the in-house roast was “smooth, rich, and full of character”.

Brian (May 2026) picked up freshly roasted beans from Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia and expects to make it a regular stop. Mollatt (July 2026) liked the ambience and the complimentary wifi alongside the coffee.

“A fantastic little spot with great vibes! They roast their own coffee in-house, and you can really taste the quality — smooth, rich, and full of character. The two guys working there were incredibly friendly and genuine, making the experience even better.”

“Nice little coffee shop with good coffee, which can be hard to find in Harare. They also sell freshly roasted beans from Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, etc. Some bakery goos available. Friendly staff and owner. I can see this place becoming a regular stop.”
