Health Focus
Everything at Nourish’d is created with the health of your body and the earth in mind. We believe that feeling good starts with what you put into your body, which is why our philosophy is rooted in fresh, colourful, nourishing, wholesome ingredients that support a balanced, vibrant lifestyle.
Whenever possible, we choose mindful produce sourced directly from local farmers. Our food is made with natural ingredients, free from unnecessary preservatives , refined sugars and any artificial flavourings.
We celebrate a health-conscious approach to eating, with a focus on quality, mindful sourcing and food that makes you feel good from the inside out. Every choice we make reflects our commitment to nourishing both people and the planet, because healthy, wholesome food should be absolutely delish, too. Obviously!
Sustainability
When we first started Nourish’d, we couldn’t sleep soundly knowing our little tree was shedding its plastic leaves into the ocean. Fuelled by compassion, knowledge, and determination, we transformed our cafe into a tree of life. We are incredibly proud of the sustainable packaging initiatives we have in place, our composting and recycling efforts, and the care we take in sourcing local produce and reducing our carbon footprint whenever possible. We believe that looking after our planet is just as important as looking after ourselves, and we are always looking for ways to do better.
Ethicallity
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Someone or something is paying the price. We make every effort to always make ethical choices. We take everything into consideration when choosing the producers we source from, practitioners we collaborate with, and products we stock. Everything we do is for the highest good of all beings everywhere.
Meet the Founder — Tash
Nourish’d was born from Tash’s passion for health, wholesome food and a more conscious way of living. As the founder, she set out to create more than just a cafe, she wanted to build a community around feeling good, eating well and making better choices for both our bodies and the planet. Her vision has always been to make healthy food exciting, colourful, accessible and absolutely delish, without compromising on quality or sustainability. From sourcing local produce to composting, recycling and reducing waste, Tash believes that the little things we do every day can make a big difference. Nourish’d is an extension and reflection of her belief that living well should be joyful, nourishing and a little bit indulgent, too - Obviously!
Our People,
Our Nourish’d Family
For Tash, Nourish’d has always been about more than just good food, it’s about people, connection and building something meaningful together. She believes in creating a team that feels valued, supported and proud to be part of something bigger than themselves. She leads with energy, passion, heart and a hands-on approach, encouraging her team to grow, take ownership and bring their own personality to the table. She believes that when you look after your people, give them the tools to succeed and create an environment where everyone feels part of the journey, it reflects in everything, from the food we make to the experience we create for every customer. At Nourish’d, we’re not just here to serve good food; we’re here to nourish people, build connections and grow together, one day at a time.
Closing the Loop with StreetScapes
At Nourish’d, sustainability is about more than just what’s on your plate, it’s about what happens behind the scenes, too! We’re proud to work with StreetScapes and Clear Conscious who come and collect our food waste and recycling and turn what would otherwise go to landfill into something meaningful. StreetScapes is a Cape Town-based social enterprise that creates employment opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion through urban farming and food production. Their work connects sustainability with community, giving food waste a second life while growing fresh, nutritious produce.
The best part? We get to bring that journey full circle by using fresh Organic ingredients grown through initiatives like these in our own food. It’s a beautiful reminder that when we work together, we can reduce waste, support local communities and nourish both people and the planet.
