WHAT ARE WE ALL
ABOUT?
Our Vision at Ground Culture is to unite and empower South African's through our platforms.
At Ground Culture, we strive to unite and empower South Africans through innovative platforms that celebrate creativity, community, and entrepreneurship.
Ground Culture Cafe:
A vibrant space where local artists are empowered and communities come together. Here, creativity meets connection under one roof, fostering a sense of belonging and cultural expression.
Ground Culture Food Trucks:
Our food truck model champions chefs by providing opportunities to enhance their skills and gain business ownership. We nurture culinary talent, turning passion into thriving enterprises.
Together, we build a grounded culture of growth, connection, and empowerment.
LETS TALK ABOUT OUR FOOD
At Ground Culture, our food philosophy is simple: good food brings people together.
Whether you’re sitting down at Ground Culture Café in Observatory or grabbing a burger from one of our food trucks across Cape Town, we focus on fresh flavours, quality ingredients, and authentic local taste. Locally sourced, proudly South African. Each burger is smashed on a hot grill for that crispy-edged, juicy finish that smash-burger lovers rave about. Eat with us, wherever you are
Order in store, grab a takeaway from our food trucks, or order on Uber Eats. Whether you’re in Observatory, Claremont, Sea Point or Blouberg, there’s always a Ground Culture smash burger close by.
We believe that great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why every burger, wrap, panini, and side is made with ingredients sourced from local suppliers in Cape Town and across South Africa.
