Our Story

A place where people come together to share delicious food and exceptional coffee.
Ju de Vie began with Elizabeth’s lifelong dream of creating a place where people could come together to share delicious food and exceptional coffee. Inspired by her travels through Europe and South Africa, Elizabeth envisioned a café that combined the warmth of a local bakery with the charm of a European coffeehouse. In 2024, her vision came to life with the opening of Ju de Vie Café and Bakery in the vibrant neighborhood of Linton’s Corner in Pretoria East.
Elizabeth Buck’s journey into the world of baking started in her family kitchen growing up, where she learned the art of making traditional South African desserts like milktart and rusks. Her passion for baking grew over the years,. With a dream to share her love for baking with others, Elizabeth opened Ju de Vie Café and Bakery, where every item on the menu reflects her dedication to quality and authenticity.
Step inside Ju de Vie and experience a cosy atmosphere where the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air, creating an inviting ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home. Our café is a place where friends gather for brunch, professionals stop for a quick coffee break, and families indulge in sweet treats after school. Every visit is met with a warm welcome and personalised service, making sure each guest feels like part of the Ju de Vie family.
