Baobab in the Culinaire Magazine!

Baobab in the Culinaire Magazine!

Issue April 2025

Calgary has a new South African
café and gift shop - Baobab Cafe &
Boutique in Kensington. Danie and Zantel
du Toit’s dream took three years to come
to fruition, and if you’re familiar with
South African food you’ll feel right at
home - and if it’s new to you, you have
so many treats in store! Do allow plenty
of time for your visit – when you’ve
finished your bobotie, vetkoek and mince,
boerwurst, slap chips, Cape brandy
pudding, milk tart, peppermint crisp bar,
and koeksisters (yes we ate all of that, and
we’re here to tell you that Chef Francois
Strauss is doing a great job!), Baobab is
an emporium of beautiful South African
housewares, gifts, shoes and handbags,
packaged goods, as well as food from
local Alberta artisans. And there’s more…
afternoon teas, wine tastings, and catering
too! 124 10 Street NW, from 11 am, closed
Mondays, baobabcalgary.com
