Tony’s Coffee Shop

Zimbabwe


Yes, US$12 is outrageous for a slice of cake but Tony's can justify it. The white-chocolate cheesecake with edible flowers is divine; enjoy it indoors by the fire or on the lawn looking out to fruit orchards. Coffee comes from Chipinge in the Eastern Highlands (US$6 bottomless cup) and there's a staggering selection of 130 different kinds of tea.

You can spot samango monkeys, which hang out here.
