What to Expect
Haefelis in Bulawayo's Fife Street Complex is a bakery and restaurant reviewers return to for breakfast, pastries and pizza. Lin (October 2025) called the chicken “tender and juicy” and said “The pastries are to die for”, singling out the milktarts, while Ruvarashe (March 2026) rates it “Probably best pizza around”.
Confectionery comes up again and again: Nyasha (March 2026) praised “good confectionery, and the food is fresh”, and Noel (November 2025) found breakfast “top notch for their level”. Lackson (June 2024) had a “mega steak pie” and a T-bone with “oil free chips”, thanking several waiters and a chef by name. Not everyone rates it that highly; Ruvarashe Dahwa (2024) liked the chocolate croissant but found “most of it is pretty average”.
Service is generally quick and friendly, though Valentine (February 2025) described a change to paying at the till before eating as “quite new” and “a hustle” when wanting extra milk. Haefelis is open daily from 08:00 to 21:00 on Fife Street.

The highlight for me was the chocolate croissant, however most of it is pretty average, which is in keeping with the prices. Great for when you’re on a budget and just wanting a quick bite.

The worst service. People who came after us got served first. We had to call the waitress to come take our order more than twice. The table we sat on wasn't cleared for over 30 minutes. When we were finally attended to an our later the table wasnt wiped still.
