Located in the leafy suburb of Highlands, corner 1 Hurworth
and Enterprise road, Harare. Queen of Hearts Café is a quaint little restaurant that offers an Espresso Bar (for the coffee lovers), Artisan Bakery (baked
goodies and cake!), breakfast menu, lunch menu and an open air Wood fired Pizzeria just
right outside. QOH opened their doors to the public
sometime around the year 2012; I remember soo vividly the construction work
around the premises as I would pass by back and forth on my trips to town. It
was once an old abandoned little building just on the corner of Hurworth
street.
Queen of Hearts has proved to be a fan favourite for a
number of reasons. It has seriously become the best location for the Fashion
Industry to host mixtures, get togethers, meet n’ greets and tea parties as the
eatery is at the epicentre between town and Highlands, making it easily
accessible and ultimately the best choice.
Top 5 Reasons to Love QOH
1. Probably the best feature about QOH is their super-fast
Wi-Fi which is on some serious fiber connection. It’s super great to get some
online work done and a bit of blogging for myself. Bonus points for the
euphoria and just the vibe of working in a comfortable and cosy environment.
2. The open air green scenery with the fountain right in the
middle makes for a warm pleasant welcoming. I honestly just want to sit under
the trees, enjoy the fresh air with a glass of watermelon juice and just tap
away!
3. I recently discovered the beauty of natural flavoured drinking
water thanks to QOH (something which you could even make yourself at home).
Choose a selection of mint, lemon or strawberries to be added to your glass of
water for some aroma and flavour.
4. Although the price could arouse mixed feeling, QOH offers
some delectable baked goodies, treats and cake for those with a sweet tooth.
US$3.00 will set you back for a slice of cake and about US$6.00 will serve you
with a plate full of waffles and cream (The Writer’s personal favourites). I am
still to experiment with the selection of the menu, but when I do I will be
sure to Instagram it to you!
5. Saving the best for last – as mentioned above QOH is easily
accessible, even for those who rely on public transport. It’s right in the main
road, so chances of getting lost are pretty slim to none. It is also situated
very close to two adjacent bus stops, to and from town, so finding your way
around isn’t a difficult task.
Some of Harare’s Fashion events have been hosted at QOH,
with the recent 2015 line up of a Singles Sipper held on the 30th of
January, an Artists Mix N’ Mingle that took place on the 17th of
January and soon enough Quintessential F will have a Ladies Power Breakfast
that will set one back US$5.00 for tea and snacks.
