Welcome to “Now Now Cafe,” where the phrase “now now” takes on a unique Southern African twist. In this colloquial context, “now now” signifies soon but not immediately, offering a distinct time frame compared to both “now” and “just now.” Across South Africa and various African countries, these expressions hold nuanced meanings – “now now” often indicates minutes later, “just now” implies hours later, and “right now” means immediate.
Now Now Cafe is space that brings together diverse individuals who might be navigating new surroundings and seeking connections. We understand the importance of bridging gaps and fostering a sense of belonging, especially for new immigrants, and young families in newly established neighborhoods lacking the connections and support found in more mature communities.
This is a welcoming space where people can share not just a cup of coffee but also valuable resources and connections. Together, let’s build a community that feels like home.
