With its new dining location that opened this past weekend in Africa’s richest square mile, visitors to Nelson Mandela Square can now savor and experience the luxury café dining and world-class confectionery creations that accompany Just Teddy’s signature savoir-faire.

A lavish evening menu has been introduced to the bespoke experience, offering fans of Just Teddy all the brand is known for and more. The décor was inspired by the elegant opulence of Dubai.

The charming backstory of Just Teddy contributes to its appeal. Teddy and the Zaki family, who established Just Teddy from humble beginnings, began selling their distinctive products at 1Fox in the heart of Johannesburg. Initially a small booth, it quickly expanded into a larger stand and a 24-hour bakery as customers couldn’t get enough of the distinctive flavors and expertly constructed goods.

Teddy Zaki was soon extended an invitation to take part in the Great South African Bake Off. He rapidly gained a following as television viewers were captivated by him as well as how Teddy also skilfully incorporated his Lebanese and French ancestry into his compositions.
As they say, the rest is history. In 2019, Just Teddy opened its doors in Hyde Park Corner, where it quickly gained a reputation as a luxury destination by fusing their distinctive flavors and flair with a reputation for attention to detail.
