Village Mall's go-to for coffee and breakfast

The Thorn Tree sits in Village Mall and revolves around coffee and a hearty breakfast menu. Regulars order the same thing every time. Reviews keep pointing to the coffee before anything else on the card.

It opens mornings and runs into early afternoon, closing before the dinner crowd shows up. That keeps it a breakfast-and-lunch spot, not an all-day restaurant.

Nice cafe in Francistown. We had a coffee to go which was good but it looks also very nice to sit down and have breakfast or lunch.

Lovely coffee shop with some tables outside in the shade (and inside). We had sandwiches, salads, pizzas and great coffee. Look at the beautiful latté art
