Who are we?

We’re Yuppiechef, and see ourselves as helping people find moments of joy at home. We’re here to offer outstanding and memorable service, while selling things that our customers love using. We’re foodies and home lovers and aesthetes and early adopters, and we’re passionate learners more than we’re experts. We have a loved online store and 25 beautiful physical stores across SA, and we’re a proud member of the dynamic Mr Price Group. Our office in Westlake, Cape Town, has a view of the mountains, a much-loved Rancilio coffee machine, and books to borrow. It’s filled with people who value excellence, and who like to eat their lunch together. We’re always looking for new people to teach us new ways of doing things and help us make big things happen, and we’d love to know if you might be one of them.
