A brand-new Starbucks South Africa retail experience is now open in Fourways Gardens, part of the fastest-developing commercial and residential hub north of Johannesburg.

This city within a city is already home to a variety of businesses, golf clubs, kids and adult entertainment centres, superb eateries, weekend markets, outdoor cultural events and equestrian estates and schools. Now, to top it all, residents and visitors to Fourways Gardens can savour the unique Starbucks experience in a brand-new home-from-home of exotic woods, warm whites and fresh greenery. The design of this neighbourhood store is cozy, comfortable, inviting and always surprising.

Offering the full range of high-quality, hand-crafted Starbucks beverages, delicious treats and super tasty healthy snacks all prepared in-store, the latest Starbucks to join the South African family is proudly managed by Daniel Motaung. Inspired and inspirational, Daniel shares his passion for hard work, his love of hand-crafted coffee and his belief in the power of compassion and empathy.
