About Adventure Cafe
Welcome to Adventure Cafe
Based on a farm in Riebeek West, Western Cape, Adventure Cafe is more than just an online store - it's a passion project born from years of adventure, tinkering, and hands-on experience.
Meet Herman
Hi, I'm Herman, and I'll be handling all your orders personally. I'm an avid adventurer, DIY enthusiast, and tinkerer who spends most of my time riding adventure bikes, overlanding, and camping across South Africa. Through countless trips and projects, I've tested, broken, fixed, and refined gear in real-world conditions.
Adventure Cafe exists to share the products I've found genuinely useful and meaningful - the tools, equipment, and accessories that have proven themselves on the trail, in the workshop, and around the campfire.
Honest About Our Products
I'm not ashamed to admit it: most of our products are imported from China. You could import them yourself at a lower cost if you wanted to wait and take the risk.
But here's what I offer that you can't get doing it yourself:
- I've tested the products - I use this gear on my own adventures and projects
- It's here, on hand - No 6-week shipping wait from overseas
- No guessing if it's any good - You know it works because I've put it through its paces
- Fast local shipping - Usually ships within 1-2 business days
- Personal service - I handle every order myself
- Peace of mind - If there's an issue, you're dealing with me directly, and I stand behind every product
You're paying for convenience, certainty, and the confidence that comes from buying gear that's been field-tested by someone who actually uses it.
Our Approach: Only What We Stock
Everything you see on this site is physically here with me on the farm in Riebeek West. We don't dropship. We don't order from suppliers after you buy. If it's listed, it's in stock and ready to ship.
