Tapi Tapi is an ice cream experience like no other. We are focused on showcasing food and food culture from the African continent, with other Africans and our visitors alike.

Familiar and new Afrocentric flavours, showcased through ice cream and sorbet that tug at nostalgic heart strings and invite you into a new world of flavours and textures.

We have made over 4500 unique ice creams and sorbets from Africa and the diaspora since 2018, using countless grains, fruits, herbs, spices, clays, seeds and nuts, and other foods, dishes and phenomena as inspiration for each scoop.

Think baobab, tamarind, sorghum, amathungulu, kei-apple, egusi, plantain, cassava, mufushwa, alligator pepper, thiagry, cafe touba, tej, mufushwa, maputi, chimera, xigugu, koesister masala, amagwinya, gossi, amasi, imphepho, funje, chin chin, kelewele, atay bi na'an, bitter kola, akwadu, etso, tsubvu, tsvanzva, seaweed, umthiba, masawu, sobolo, okra, buchu, kapokbos, bruinsalie, ful sudani, halawi sim sim, tsine and on and on and on.

"In part, Tapi Tapi is focused on rehabilitating the self-esteem of Afrodescendant people, with a particular focus our food practices, as well as our culture and beliefs.

We use food because it’s a uniting and universal aspect of being human.

It is a powerful tool to invite people to listen, share and exchange and celebrate about this home of ours."
