Akin Affrica Is Launching A Two-In-One Restaurant

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and no one understands that more than Akin Affrica. The owner of Angie’s Soul Cafe and original founder of Zanzibar Soul Fusion is now focused on filling a void of weekday brunch and vegan options by launching two new concepts this fall in the former Yours Truly space in Shaker Square.



“In Cleveland, brunch is big, but it’s only big on weekends,” says Affrica. “I want a place where somebody can have a brunch experience seven days a week.” The Cleveland Breakfast Club will operate from 7 a.m.- 4 p.m., serving a variety of breakfast classics such as waffles and pancakes, while the Vegan Club will operate from 5-10 p.m. with healthy vegan and vegetarian items such as smoothies, lasagna and quiche.

Affrica plans on offering takeout and delivery for both restaurants with full dine-in services available by the end of October. Both clubs will operate in tandem with a large selection of drinks, including mimosas, bloody marys and a range of cocktails. “We do a lot of healthy alternatives to regular food with flavor,” Affrica says.
