It\u2019s far too easy to stick to the lovely suburban areas of Gardens and Oranjezicht \u2013 wandering around Kloof Street and popping into my usual haunts at the Labia and the many caf\u00e9s that call this area home. But the city centre of Cape Town is just as delightful, as you\u2019ll discover while sipping a perfectly frothed cappuccino and looking out the large windows at Bread Milk and Honey, at the bustling city beyond.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s located on Church Square, which is fast turning into a hipster location because of the terribly hip shop Church (for men\u2019s gifts, apparently). But Bread Milk and Honey has been here a lot longer than the hipsters, and they are famous, in the area, for their delicious fresh sandwiches, baked goodies, and fantastic lunch buffet spread. Everything is super-fresh, wholesome, loaded with flavour and (surprisingly) feels good for you \u2013 from pies to quiches, salads, pastas and bakes.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this caf\u00e9 special is its emphasis on freshly baked and prepared food, for starters, and its\u2019 popularity as a locals\u2019 caf\u00e9. It\u2019s the kind of place people come to for lunch every day, the kind of place where the waiters and staff will remember your face, the kind of place that feels like home. And serves great coffee.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a local\u2019s taste of lunchtime, pop into Bread Milk and Honey. I\u2019m certain you won\u2019t be disappointed\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Image credit: downtempo via flickr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nope, I\u2019m not talking about the fabled land of bread, milk and honey, but a delightful little caf\u00e9 in the middle of the city that serves (thankfully) a lot more than the trio of bread, milk and honey (because, let\u2019s be honest, that would get a little dull, wouldn\u2019t it?)
