[Photos from the ed-at-large] Jacobs Coffee pop-up store warms Johannesburg

These days, how can you have an event without oh so trendy cupcakes? These ones are, of course, in theme...

Now doesn't this converted old Parkhurst house look all cosy for winter?

A black board alerting passersby to the board games pop-up store.

Games, games and yet more games.

Stunning designer interiors.

Inviting comfy sofa and club chairs.

Gamers in action!

One coffee to go coming up! (And, yes, those were Oreas waiting to be gobbled.)

How to score big in Scrabble.

Another comfy nook.

How about a game?

Parkhurst is a quaint old suburb in Johannesburg. A number of houses have been turned into shops and galleries.

A view of the interior of the second room. There's also a patio and a garden.

Calling all wordsmiths! Forget fridge magnets - try giant Scrabble pieces on a magnetic board!

The branded Jacobs Board Game Cafe blanket which guests received on the night of the media launch. Simone gave hers away later that week to the Twitter Blanket Drive, and according to tweets, so did Kraft.

Coffee-embracing bookends :)

"If we treat you nice, tweet us nice."

Board games collection bin for Mandela Day.

Cosy spot :)
