So I've been trying to get myself to sit down for longer than 5min to write my next blog and after numerous culinary experiences and my cute friend buying me a journal to write my food thoughts down, I'm finally here :-)
In order to expand my coffee shop 'I've been there list', I decided to make a list of places to go in Pretoria and Joburg areas. And my OH MY! there are a ton of cute little 'must see' places :-)
Word of advice... if a place is known for its coffee experience, go there for coffee and don't expect to be able to eat a good lunch. I know that may sound harsh but seriously guys, I left some of these places starving but completely satisfied with my caffeine intake.

STEPHANIES Lynnwood Bridge |
This place is just fabulous! Food, drink and amazing coffee!
Situated in Lynnwood Bridge just opposite another coffee haven, Tribeca.
The food was amazing and the coffee even better!
You definitely cant go wrong with time spent here :-)
+27cafe in Duncan street is such a fab place to enjoy a coffee, Wi-Fi, quality time with friends and maybe even pick up a broach or two...
However, the food doesn't fill at all and you may not want to take a hungry boyfriend there :-/
Cappuccino I hear you say... yes, some of the best ever! You cant go wrong at +27 when you order coffee!

The Luckybread company in Brooklyn is a little piece on heaven on earth.
The food portions are just right if you don't want that 'full' feeling and the coffee... oh my word the coffee!
Pick a country and they will most probably have an amazing blend from there... you cant go wrong.
Head to Brooklyn, go watch a movie and then treat yourself :-)
Today I treated myself to amazing double shot cappuccino and lunch at Pure in Thomson street, Pretoria. The coffee was tots amaze ;-) and the pumpkin and bree quiche just as amazing - You honestly cant go wrong if you want to spend some time in the sun, listen to live music and maybe pop into the Big Blue factory story before you head home...
Wrapping things up, get yourselves to the Neighbourgoods market in Joburg!! It has to be on your bucket list people, don't miss out!!
Go for it! Drinks some coffee, eat some food.... enjoy the taste of life!!
Till next time xx
