A place we love is &Union on Bree Street. Why do we love it? Well, there are a host of reasons. It could be because of the super cool interior and the people that fill it. Perhaps it is the selection of cured meats, grilled sausages and Prego rolls. It could be the array of [...]

If it wasn’t for the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that smacks you as you pass by you could easily mistake Anthony’s Golden Cup for a flag retailer. He tells me that the flags were put up as a part of the World Cup fever and that he hasn’t got round to taking them down. [...]

It’s great when people do things that make your life a little easier, especially when it comes to time. Table 13 has done just that. They have shuffled things around a bit to create a deli space that is geared for those on the go. This little operation goes by the name of Artisan Café [...]

I’ll admit that I’m envious of the Durbanites. Not because they get to swim in the ocean for hours on end without the affliction of an ice cream headache and frozen extremities. Not because winter never seems to get the memo and as a result they get to sport Havaianas all year round. I envy [...]

If you find yourself strolling around town, do yourself a favour and pop into Bread Milk & Honey on Spin Street. I say strolling because it is better to stroll here, since it’s unlikely you’ll get parking in close proximity to this spot. This may seem like a bad thing in most circumstances, but it’s [...]

Cafe Puka is the epitome of your neighbourhood corner coffee spot. A well-kept secret with a handful of tables and chairs and a golden retriever named Wags. They have been running for eight years and it’s easy to understand why. The food is delicious, the coffee is great and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. [...]

You’ll find Cafeen tucked away on 3rd Avenue in Harfield Village. Opened in 2008, this spot oozes charm and offers a feast for not only the stomach, but also the eyes. The interior is adorned with an eclectic collection of antiques and quirky nik naks. Chandeliers hang overhead while portraits of your great-granny’s-best-friend’s-cousin peek out [...]
