A super-stylish new Starbucks South Africa experience has opened for locals at the Kloof Lifestyle Centre in the leafy suburban hills above Durban. With its varied selection of upmarket stores, shopper enjoyment and convenience are already built in for visitors to this intimate mall, and now Starbucks promises to raise expectations to even higher levels. Its intimate and convenient setting and state-of-the-art furnishings, fixtures and fittings make the latest Starbucks store a welcome addition to this friendly, family-oriented community.

Offering easy access off the M13 highway, on Village Road in Kloof, the new Starbucks looks forward to making its distinctively unique contribution to the tranquil artsy lifestyle of the nearby residents and visitors. Refreshing breezes and spectacular scenery are sure to make this new location a tempting option for your favourite beverage and snack from the full Starbucks menu.

The wide range of Starbucks premium coffees, warm and friendly service, the speciality iced Frappuccinos and other iced beverages promise to be a big hit with guests enjoying the airy and sophisticated ambiance of this new Starbucks.

Managed by the warmly authentic local Natalian, Brian Nxumalo, the store features the full range of Starbucks' hot and cold beverages and a selection of delicious treats, including brownies, macaroons, and the famous Chocolate Brownie. You can also savour the new sensational Caramel Waffle Latte, individual Carrot Cake and Chocolate Cake.

Brian and his team invite customers to visit and enjoy their handcrafted seasonal beverages, including the spicy and refined Holiday Blend featuring rare aged Sumatra coffee beans, the new sweet and figgy Holiday Reserve blonde roast, or the return of the ever-popular candied ginger and cedar spice of the traditional Holiday Blend. 

This latest Starbucks store is the perfect place to connect with friends, family or colleagues with handcrafted, high-quality, hot and ice-cold teas and coffees served by super-friendly Starbucks hosts. And while you’re there, ask Brian to brew up his personal favourite — “for me, it’s got to be the Pike Blend filter coffee with half and half milk. Once I’ve had a cup of this classic coffee, I’m charged up and ready to inspire my team and make every visit a special experience for all of our guests that day.”
