Ellen describes herself as “an American expat planning to visit every coffee shop in and around my new city of residence, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.”
She invites friends and ‘friends of friends’ and blog readers to join her for a cuppa and conversation at a different venue each week.
The Wilderness Foundation was lucky enough to host Ellen and her ‘Crawlers’ at Conyngham's Coffee Shop, located at the Ray Mhlaba Training Centre on Conyngham Street, Glendinningvale.
Conyngham’s is one of the training venues that the Wilderness Foundation uses for its Umzi Wethu hospitality skills programme.
Current Umzi Wethu students, Vuyiseka and Luthando were on hand to prepare some delicious Masterton’s coffee for the guests who also enjoyed some of the sweet delicacies available. The moist, nutty carrot cake is still a firm favourite of visitors to the coffee shop!
We are confident that Ellen and the Crawlers enjoyed their visit, as she posted a wonderful blog about their experience, “I was completely bowled over by my Coffee Crawl experience last Thursday. So much so that I have been at a loss for even how to start this posting.”

We hope that they will soon be visiting our newest venture, the Coffee Shop on the Donkin for a great historical, cultural and coffee experience!
The WF believes in the power of the wilderness to dissolve ethnic and economic inequalities and forge one path toward social and environmental sustainability.
