Cloud Connect Hot Spot at Caloroso

Got a message from Justin last night that there's a new Cloud Connect [http://www.cloudconnect.co.za] Hot Spot to try out and it just so happens to be at one of my favourite Espresso Bars, Caloroso Coffee [http://calorosocoffee.co.za]. I popped in this morning

Bean There Coffee Company

We struggled to find them, as Google Maps led us to an entirely different location, but fortunately in the same street. When we found them it was luckily coolish inside and we could hide from the blazing sun. They roast their own coffee and have quite a neatly set up

Escape Caffe disappoints

I had read some reviews on Escape Caffe and was really looking forward to the experience. To say that the experience was disappointing would be an understatement. They are supposedly known for their variety of cheese cake, of which they had none in stock. We asked what they would recommend

Restaurants

Jason Bakery

Today we decided we're going to try as many new spots as we could, in an effort to rack up some additional points on FourSquare and for a change in scenery. Jason Bakery was first on our list. Jason Bakery was recommended to us by Craig McLeod, who

Matt and I decided to meet up

Matt and I decided to meet up for supper so I headed back to Canal Walk. We grabbed a coffee at Seattle, because you can never have enough. We then popped in at Col'Cacchio and had a Morituri and a Foresta split in two. The food was great.

Seattle Coffee is back at Canal Walk

To our delight, while walking through the mall killing some time waiting for our food at Simply Asia, we noticed Seattle Coffee was open again at Exclusive Books. We were really disappointed when they closed some time back, but it's great to have them open again. Amelia and

Simply Asia

One of our favourite spots in Cape Town, is Simply Asia. In recent months, their turn around time has become much longer than usual, but I guess it is just due to popularity, so I guess good for them. We had a 504 Traditional Phad Thai, and the 524 Exotic

Kopi Luwak at Haas

Decided to start the day trying out a different coffee spot, so we headed off to Haas [http://haascollective.com]. I saw they had Kopi Luwak on the menu, so figured it's on my bucket list so I should give it a try and I did. It was

Orphanage

Orphanage [http://www.theorphanage.co.za] on Bree Street was recommended to us by, Craig McLeod. I was still feeling pretty much not awesome, with my sinuses and all so first thing I wanted to do when I got there was blow my nose. When you walk into their bathrooms

Origin to kick the day into gear

If you haven't been to Origin Coffee Roasting in Hudson street, I can highly recommend you treat yourself to some good coffee and a bite to eat. First thing we noticed, was the new menu with an interesting graphical representation of the difference between all their different espresso

Asoka

You know you're almost in Cape Town when you drive over Sir Lowry's Pass, even though it's still quite a bit of a drive until you're in the mother city, it just has a feeling to it. We headed straight to Asoka

Case 39

Amelia and I have not had a big night in, in a while so we decided to make this a good one. We opted for having a King Steer Burger and Chips as well as a Nandos Chicken burger and grilled veg each, this is definitely a winning combination. On

Pomodoro Save Face

The forgiving and understanding people that we are, Amelia and I decided to give Pomodoro's in Wilderness another shot. We got some fantastic and friendly service from the moment we walked in the door. The food did not take too long either. We had Graham beck rail road

The Wilderness Experience

Amelia and I decided to go to the market in Wilderness for a change, and what an experience did it turn out to be. Well, we're not particularly cash people, so we couldn't really buy much, as no-one accepted cards for payment. We did however get

Woolworths - good yet disappointing

Woolworths have seriously got some good coffee, but they are an utter disappointment, when it comes to operating hours. Amelia and I decided to go and get some coffee from Woolworths Cafe at the Garden Route Mall, quite some time before closing, but the Cafe was already "Closed"

Restaurants

De Vette Mossel

Amelia and I decided to treat ourselves to some bottomless seafood and headed down to De Vette Mossel for our Christmas Lunch. As usual the food was great and the staff were funny. Knowing what to expect, we took our own cutlery which made the world of difference. If you

Roosters don't have large chips

After Leaving Steers unsatisfied, Amelia and I decided to go and give Roosters a try, as Dereck [http://dereckbester.co.za/] told me that they have got a cool, burger deal as well. We ordered one special and a large chips. The attendant then informed us that they didn'

Steers still not meeting the mark

Amelia and I, the forgiving people that we are, decided to give Steers another chance and headed straight there after work. We ordered a Wacky Wednesday special, to bide us over until supper, but were sadly disappointed. My Burger was lukewarm when it got to me and Amelia's

McDonalds setting the trend

McDonalds [http://www.mcdonalds.co.za/] is now open 24hours a day. The only thing that would make this better, is if you could sit down as well as drive through. Amelia and I wanted a snack so off to McDonalds [http://www.mcdonalds.co.za/] for 2 McFeast Deluxe

Election Coffee @ Wimpy

After Voting, Amelia and I went for our "Voters Coffee" at Wimpy. On arrival we were to our surprise promptly asked if we had voted and then offered a complimentary cup of coffee, which we gladly accepted. The coffee didn't take long, but was lukewarm when

Steers staff are asleep

Amelia and I decided, as we so often do, that we wanted to eat something after work. For a change we chose to try out Steers for their Wacky Wednesday promotion... The burgers are not particularly small and don't taste crap, but they're definitely not served
