Talk about hitting the ground running – little Marizé Büchner is barely six weeks old and already she is starting her own enterprise! Not content with wrapping her doting parents around her pudgy baby fingers, she whispered in their ears and shared a dream to be the youngest business owner in town.
And so, on Saturday 30 November, at the iconic Cape Recife Lighthouse at Algoa Bay, Gqeberha, an exciting new coffee- and- cupcake shop will open its doors in a unique location. Marizé’s Cupcakes is the delightful new venture, inspired by all things sweet and delightful, just like its namesake.
And the venue? Right in the gleaming, awe-inspiring ENGINE ROOM of the lighthouse itself! Without a doubt, this is set to be the “world’s best lighthouse engine room coffee shop (possibly the ONLY one?). With sweeping ocean views over stunning Algoa Bay – the place where whales and dolphins play – fringed by safe, white sandy beaches and fynbos-covered dunes, Marizé’s offers a unique taste escape. Complete the outing with a guided lighthouse tour, or splurge on an epic overnight accommodation adventure at the adjacent Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa.
Gqeberha is making its mark in international tourism stakes with some extraordinary offerings, and with dynamic parents in the Eastern Cape hospitality industry, this little mini entrepreneur is surely destined for success in providing visitors a most delicious addition to enhance their tour experience.
Find your sweet spot at Marizé’s Cupcakes, Cape Recife Lighthouse, Gqeberha from 08h00 onwards!
