We don’t just serve food

Food with Thought is at the heart of everything we do at M&B.

We serve food with thought

From our hot and cold drinks to our generous meals and the treats in between, we always go the extra mile so you can enjoy the taste of more and more. You’ll see that care in three places: how we look after your wellness, how we treat the planet and how we support the people who grow our food.

  • 01

    Think wellness

    A full nutritional guide and plenty of choices to suit different diets.

  • 02

    Think sustainability

    Compostable and recyclable cups with packaging we’re always working to improve.

  • 03

    Think community

    Over 90% of our ingredients sourced locally, and lasting relationships with the people who grow them.

Better food choices, fully informed

Whatever your dietary requirements, we do our best to make sure you can always get a taste of more and more. Our full nutritional guide is available on our website, so you’re always equipped to make better food choices. We’re constantly adding new dishes to our menu and giving you new reasons to try them.

There's something special about a Mugg & Bean meal

  1. The plate

    A meal is only as good as the ingredients that go into it. That’s why we use the best locally sourced and grown potatoes, and leave the skin on our fries because they taste better, are more nutritious that way and create less food waste. We only use free-range eggs, for their nutritional value, richer yolk and even more delicious flavour, and because we’re committed to improving animal welfare. Our burgers are generously stacked with the freshest toppings, and every beef patty is made with locally sourced beef.

  2. The cup

    The same care goes into sourcing our coffee beans from some of the finest growing regions in the world, before they’re roasted to perfection. From there, they’re in the hands of our professionally trained baristas, who are just as passionate about your morning pick-me-up as you are.

  3. The bake

    All our muffins, cakes, tarts, pies and cookies are baked fresh in our restaurants and On The Moves. Our bakers are professionally trained and take great pride in every freshly baked treat they whip up for you.

Your safety and wellbeing is our top priority

Our food is made with fresh, quality ingredients and meets all regulatory requirements and international best practice. Every restaurant must follow our strict food safety standards and is regularly audited to make sure they’re met at all times. Our suppliers are held to the same high standards.


We take every concern about our food seriously and respond to any health or safety issue as a priority, because serving you fresh, quality food you can trust matters to us.

More and more for
the planet

Generous portions aren’t the only thing we care about. We’re also doing more and more for the planet, from how we source our food to the packaging it comes in. Our takeaway cups and lids are recyclable and compostable and every takeaway drink now comes with a paper straw.

Our sustainability journey is ongoing, and every visit helps us keep moving in the right direction.

In support of Cupcakes of Hope

Since 2012, we’ve partnered with Cupcakes of Hope to support children and families fighting childhood cancer. For every freshly baked item sold, a portion of the proceeds are donated to Cupcakes of Hope.

Thanks to you, we’ve raised over R6.3 million since 2022, and every treat you enjoy helps us give even more.
