[Photos from the ed-at-large] Jacobs Coffee pop-up store warms Johannesburg
The Jacobs Board Game Cafe in Johannesburg, which launched on 24 May 2012, is a temporary pop-up store situated in Parkhurst off 4th Avenue. The objective is to provide a warm atmosphere and a trendy spot for people to connect with each other over a cup of coffee and board games.

One coffee to go coming up! (And, yes, those were Oreas waiting to be gobbled.)
Another comfy nook.
These days, how can you have an event without oh so trendy cupcakes? These ones are, of course, in theme...
How about a game?
