A little more sweet in the middle of Windhoek.

Hand-crafted doughnuts, warm coffee, custom cakes and creative afternoons on Independence Avenue.

Gourmet doughnuts Custom cakes Creative workshops

Come for one thing. Stay for a few.

Good things
happen here

A café for the curious, the hungry and the people who like their afternoons a little more interesting.

Sweet Side of Thingz started as a small kitchen project and grew into a welcoming CBD space for big flavours, beautiful bakes and good conversations.

Come in for a soft, generously topped doughnut. Stay for the art on the walls, the ceramics on the shelves, or a hands-on session at The Maker’s Nook.

Doughnuts worth the detour

Generous toppings, soft centres and sweet favourites with a little more personality.

Slow mornings, good coffee

Take a breather with coffee, cake, bagels and something fresh from the counter.

Art is part of the recipe

Gallery walls, creative events and hands-on ceramics make this more than a coffee stop.

For birthdays, launches and just-because

Make the sweet part count.

From custom cakes and cupcakes to boxes of cookies and cinnamon rolls, the counter is ready for the moments you want to make a little bigger.
