How to sign your order
Then next time you order from one of our Deaf baristas, you'll be talking our language.
We are a proudly South African social enterprise that educates and employs Deaf youth to become baristas, chefs and all things hospitality.
Serving coffee,
serving community
I Love Coffee opened its doors in June 2016, dedicated to becoming one of the country’s leading artisanal roasted coffee suppliers, and committed to achieving this by being a force of positive change for the Deaf in South Africa.
Today 70% of our workforce is Deaf or hard of hearing. We supply roasted coffee and food services and specialist skills-training to our staff, laying the foundation for a future career within the hospitality industry.
We operate in 14 locations in Cape Town, Johannesburg and London
