“ Favourite hidden gem in Franschhoek. Amazing coffee and nice tea selection. Perfect for a quick coffee to start the day as sit down or take away. Popular with locals and we always end up meeting fascinating people here if you sit down at the communal table to read the newspaper. They don't serve breakfast but they do sell a selection of divine biscuits and rusks to enjoy with your beverage (perfect as a weekend cheat/treat). ”
