My Top 3 coffee hang outs in Cape Town

1. Bootlegger Coffee Company

My personal favourite and number one go to coffee spot would be this gorgeous restaurant in Sea Point. There is nothing better than enjoying an amazing cappuccino alongside a delicious meal. The food is fresh and tasty and perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a great vibe and is always busy and whats even more amazing there is free wifi. Now who doesn't love that!
So if you are looking for a spot sit and do some work while sipping on coffee then make your way down to Bootlegger tomorrow morning.

2. Brick Lane Eatery

My next go to spot would be Brick Lane Eatery. There are situated in Park Lane, Century City and wow what a beautiful restuarant. It is peaceful and its the perfect way to start the day...cofffee and eggs Benedict for breakfast! sounds delicious and trust me it is.
Now this place makes me smile because its has the best of both worlds: coffee and food.

3. Truth Coffee

Situated in Buitenkant street in the buzzing CBD of Cape Town.
It is a great vibey restaurant that is always busy and why is that...because they have great coffee served with great food.
They roast their coffee on site and for those that wish to see how the magic of coffee roasting works then you are most welcome to make a booking with them for a demonstration.

High Tea for the Bettina Kerber Foundation

Today I went to the Mount Nelson hotel for their famous afternoon high tea with some special ladies in my life. It has become a tradition since my sister passed away to go for high tea on her birthday and this was the 2nd official high tea. I invited along my sisters closest and dearest friends to celebrate with me.

What was even more special about this high tea it was the introduction the Bettina Kerber Foundation...a foundation started by my mother and I to helps kids that get diagnosed with the same spinaltumor  my sisters had and to raise funds for research towards clinical trials as it is such a rare tumor. Funds will also go towards gets that cannot afford chemo. This is foundation is my pride and joy and I am so excited to get it started.

Now on to the amazing food served at the high tea. They have a beautiful collection of over thirty herbal and traditional teas to choose from. 

First you have the savories and it's a lovely selection or tarts and sandwiches. To name a few there are salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, cucumbers samdwiches, biltong sandwich, chicken pie, spinach and feta quiche and chilli bites.

Next they served the traditional scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream. But for me the hight light be sweet desserts and wow there was a great selection.

From carrot cake, to chaffon cake, peppermint slices, macarons, lemon meringue, fudge, hazelnut tarts and fresh fruits. 

All this will cost you R265 per person and it is well wort it.

Bootlegger Coffee Company- Best Coffee!

Bootlegger is the go to spot for coffee in the Sea Point area. They are open from 6:30am for those early risers, business people  and fitness fanatics that are in need of their caffeine fix. 

Their coffee beans come from Guatamala, Costa Rica. They have their own unique way of roasting their beans. Their barristers make all the coffees with love and what's great is that all coffees are served in glasses and no cups. 

We offcourse came here for breakfast and it was so awesome seeing how full the place was. We both ordered cappuccinos (arguably the best Cappucino we had in a very long time). My boyfriend also ordered the Cortado as he loves extra strong coffee and he was in heaven while drinking it. 

Now on to the menu. They have an amazing breakfast menu and all products all locally produced. I am on an eggs Benedict mission around Cape Town and offcourse I choose that to eat. It did not disappoint at all. Fresh salmon trout with perfect poached eggs and a flavourable hollandaise sauce....truly delicious eggs Benedict. 

They have a DIY breakfast option for those that wish to make their own delicious breakfast plate. There are fresh bake croissants, muffins and banana bread on the menu. Then there are even healthier options such as fresh fruit salad and homemade granola.

 This year will be there 2nd birthday and I look forward to going back there in December and blogging all about it. 

Such a great restaurant with an even greater vibe.

Brick lane eatery- my top hidden gem choice

Now this truly is a hidden gem that has instantly become my top choice at the moment that I was lucky to discover. They are an exciting new restaurant that is tucked away in the heart of Century City. They over look the water stone waterways and it has the most stunning location to sit outside and enjoy a good cup of coffee or a delicious meal. Also great for residents and businesses in the area. 

They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with prices ranging from R40 to R80 (great affordable prices so you have no excuse not to go there). I came here to try out their breakfast menu and have the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon (R65). It is served traditional style with an English muffin, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. It was superb and mouthwatering delicious...a must try! 

For lunches and dinner they off a great range of sandwiches, salads, flatbreads and burgers. I reckon it will have an awesome night when you come here for a chilled dinner friends and order burgers and craft beer. 

I will most definitely be back to try out more items on the menu and come here with a group of friends for dinner. 

Relaunch of Moksh Restaurant-Authentic Indian Cuisine

I got invited by Zomato to the Relaunch of Moksh Indian Restaurant in Durbanville. 

The dinner was buffet style with a choose of two curries along with some curried potatoes and naan bread.

The butter chicken and absolutely delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness to it. I don't normally eat lamb curry but tonight's curry was delicious and the lamb was so tender. 

We had some entertainment for the night which consisted of a beautiful belly dancers showing of her moves.

Thanks Zomato for inviting me to yet another amazing and fun Zomato Meet up. 

Breakfast at Saucissse Deli

I was lucky enough to be invited to breakfast with the crew from InstaEatsCapeTown to Saucissse Deli which is situated in the Old Biscuit Mill in WoodStock. 

What a delicious breakfast it was. We got to sit down with the owner Amanda and get some insight as to how she runs this amazing restaurant/deli. It started off for the first 4 years as essentially being a deli where customers could some inside and buy a range of fresh breads, meats and cheeses. They had a daily menu of sandwiches from there it developed it to becoming a restaurant with breakfast being the main focus. she put together a menu of her greatest hits of meals over the years. It is even more great is that the menu accommodate for the vegans and vegetarians and also has some banting friendly options.

For my breakfast I chose the Parmeson French Toast and wow was it delicious. It is a cheese croissant egg dunked and pan fried, served with smokey ham, sundried tomato pesto, fresh red onion and rocket.

Tea Under the Trees

Today I stumbled upon the most stunning hidden gem in the heart of the wine lands of Paarl. A beautiful restaurant where you are literally sitting under the massive trees in their magical garden. They offer a range of light meals. From salads to wraps and sandwiches to delicious desserts and cake. They have a wonderful selection of teas: black current, strawberry and mango tea, green teas, ginger and honey tea and camomile tea. The prices are well and affordable. It's is always a great spot to bring the kids along. I will definitely be back here and most definitely recommend it to anyone.
