Cuppa Caffe is hosting the next Silent Book Club Potchefstroom meetup on Saturday, 12 April at 1 PM, and if you’re into reading, crafting, or just sipping a cappuccino in peace, this one’s for you.

No Assigned Reading, No Awkward Icebreakers

This isn’t your average book club. There’s no pressure to finish a novel or pretend you enjoyed that one chapter everyone else loved. You bring your own book—or even a craft project—find a spot, grab a drink, and get comfy. For one blissful hour, it’s all silent reading. Afterwards, if the mood strikes, you can stick around to chat about books, crafts, or the fact that you actually finished a chapter for once without interruption.

Picnic Style, If That’s Your Vibe

Prefer grass to chairs? Cuppa Caffe’s got your back. They’ll have a few blankets available if you’d rather read picnic-style under the trees. You’re welcome to bring your own blanket or even a camping chair if your knees aren’t what they used to be.

A Little Something on the Side

Feeling peckish? They’ve put together a pre-order-only “Bookmark Bite Special” for R80. It includes a small quiche, a Biscoff brownie, and a coffee or tea. Perfect for those who take their reading with a side of snacks.

A Venue for Bookworms and Barkers

Cuppa Caffe is also a pet-friendly venue, so your well-behaved pup is welcome too. Just make sure they don’t chew on your book or interrupt the silence with excited tail wags every time someone walks by with a muffin.
