We were not going to test out any culinary delights for the month, but that changed when we stopped to get some meat from the butcher in Driehoek. It was a wonderful, typical summers day and we went exploring as to what Driehoek had to offer – and we stumbled onto The Coffee Bar @Driehoek. Mid-morning brunch was beckoning and so we launched forth to explore the offerings.
Well – we were impressively surprised at what we got! The menus were adequate with more than enough selection of good wholesome food, and some of my special delicacies – pancakes! The service was good, and the area was clean, airy and comfortable.
We ordered a pancake: bobotie, chutney and banana; an omelette with mushroom and mince; and finally, the haloumi salad with caramelized nuts and seeds, fresh avocado, lettuce, mint, onion and basil pesto.
We were immediately struck by the freshness of the products and the great presentation. The pancake was scrumptious, tasty and the offering was well structured in terms of no one item overpowering another. The banana was also nice, firm, and ripe. The omelette was great, nice and fluffy, light, and the filling was well seasoned, tasty, and delicious. The halloumi salad was also a win – fresh produce, great cheese, crispy lettuce, and an interesting salad dressing that was a homemade vinaigrette.
I know this is short sharp and sweet, but this is the experience that we had, and everything was fantastic. This spot is truly recommended – take the slow drive and experience the offerings, you will not regret it!
