We’ve found two recently opened coffee boutiques where you can indulge yourself. Cup is definitely the place to stop for exotic teas and coffees and it’s conveniently situated in the Morningside Shopping Centre. This gorgeous little shop offers menu treats to die for ... think crème caramel or spicy cinnamon and chilli lattes, macadamia nut and French vanilla coffees (served in a plunger to share) and Moroccan mint and Eastern Aromatic (a mix of cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg) teas. You’ll also find smoothies, freezos and a daily selection of sandwiches, salads, pretty cupcakes and cakes – the Toblerone chocolate cheesecake is a winner! Open Monday to Saturday from 8.30am to 6pm and on Sunday from 9am to 5pm. Details: 010-590-0162. We also love Sandy McCrystal’s new addition to her décor store, the Country Living Coffee Shop in the Bryanston Shopping Centre. Surrounded by lovely knick-knacks from the adjacent Country Living décor store, you can grab a cappuccino, indulge in a delicious chocolate cake or cinnamon and apple crepes to keep hunger pangs at bay while contemplating your next bit of retail therapy. Details: 087-830-2136.
