Timetable

Most tea shops are open every day on weekdays from early morning to mid or late afternoon, as well as on Saturday mornings. Many are closed on Sundays. Many bars and cafes are open every day from morning to midnight, sometimes much later on weekends.

Budget & Tips

In a tea shop, you should count around 1.50 USD for coffee or tea, 2 USD for a pastry and from 5 USD for breakfast. You will have to add a few dollars in Victoria Falls. The bars of the big hotels and tourist sites are also expensive. If a can of beer sells for about 2 USD in a supermarket, it will cost 5 USD in these establishments. An imported beer will usually be 1 USD more expensive.

What's very local

Zimbabwe produces different brands of beer: blond beers such as Zambezi or Boelinger or brown beers such as Castle. There are also some craft beers, but also some wines produced east of the capital, which are quite mediocre.

In the Eastern Highlands, quality tea and coffee are produced. Cafés and restaurants offer coffee, but it is often rather bland. The same applies to hot chocolate. It is better to opt for tea, especially since the so British tea time (black tea with a pastry) is still a very popular event.
