Our baristas are trained by the experts from Deluxe Coffeeworks in Cape Town. We asked head honcho, Judd Francis, the secret to good coffee: "It's all about consistency and freshness. Great beans, good clean machinery and, of course, a great barista.

When you buy coffee your car will smell amazing for days- this I realised after Paul [Phillipa’s husband] and I left our bag of coffee in the car for a day and it was the most incredible result... coffee flavoured air freshener.

So we’ve created our own brand, ICI, which we serve in hand-waffled cones.

ICI’S EXOTIC FLAVOURS INCLUDE
PINEAPPLE AND CHILLI
Happiness is...
ICI ice cream made with island-grown ingredients and original flavours
