Tony's coffee shop brings cafe to Mutare. It holds a 4.8/5 rating from 242 Google Maps reviews.
Tony's is a cake shop and coffee house set in the Bvumba mountains outside Mutare, and cakes are what people drive out for. Dennis (May 2017) called it “quite simply the best coffee shop in Zimbabwe,” and Yanano (October 2025) named one cake “the best cake I've ever had in my life.” Neil (September 2025) agreed the cakes are “nothing short of exquisite.”
Individual cakes get called out by name. Paul (September 2024) recommended “the cheesecake and the orange cake,” calling them “a dream come true,” and Tineyi (May 2026) was nearly undone by the fruit cake, which “nearly made me emotional.” Janine (September 2025) worked through three slices, including a caramelised cheesecake, and rated the Café Glacé “10/10.”
Reviewers describe Tony as much of the draw as the food: Farai (July 2021) praised the “great baked cheesecake and a very delicate coffee cake,” and Catherine (April 2026) said the service “is so personalized you feel like you visited a friend for coffee.” The cost comes up more than once, with Amanda (February 2026) finding it “a bit high on price” but “worth it.” Tony's is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17:00.
