For your daily caffeine fix and then some

As the sun rises over the coast, casting hues of orange and pink across the desert, Walvis Bay comes alive with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the welcoming ambience of Willi Probst Boulevard Café.

Nestled in the heart of town, Probst - celebrating its 66th anniversary this year - has become a beloved fixture, offering not just a culinary experience but a journey into the history of Walvis Bay.

Established by the Probst family, the café is a testament to their passion for good food, warm hospitality and a deep connection to the community.

Patriarch and founder Willi Probst imbued the café with a spirit that goes beyond serving meals – it's about creating moments, fostering connections and celebrating the unique coastal charm.

At the core of the café's appeal is its use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu reflects the bounty of the ocean and the surrounding landscapes. From succulent seafood to crisp vegetables, each dish is a celebration of the region’s natural abundance. Whether it's the catch of the day prepared with a delicate touch or a salad bursting with colours and flavours, every bite tells a story of the town’s culinary tapestry.

While seafood rightfully takes centre stage, there’s a diverse array of options catering to different tastes and dietary preferences – from hearty breakfasts that fuel the day to decadent desserts that provide a sweet conclusion.

Yet, the café is more than a dining spot; it’s a living gallery of local art and craftsmanship. The walls adorned with paintings by Namibian artists create a colourful backdrop, while handcrafted wooden furniture adds a touch of rustic charm. The ambience is cosy, inviting patrons to linger over their meals, savouring not just the food but the atmosphere that envelops them.

The café’s coffee culture is another hallmark of its charm. As the morning sun bathes the coastline, locals and visitors alike gather at the café for their daily caffeine fix. The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans mingles with the salty breeze, creating an olfactory symphony that sets the tone for the day.

The Probst family and their staff embody the spirit of hospitality, welcoming guests not as customers but as friends. It’s this personal touch that transforms a visit here into an experience that lingers in the memory, a blend of flavours, sights and genuine Namibian generosity.
