I had John Coltrane’s “What’s New?/Autumn in New York” in my ears while taking these photographs. This added a sultry quality to the already jazzy feel of this cafe. The light drizzle romancing the Saturday morning outside with wet kisses trickling down the tall French windows made me feel like I was a soul music video production. I also have to say, it wasn’t because Norah Jones was asking me to come away with her - a proposition I’d take in a heartbeat - it was because I felt like I’d just stepped through a portal into a place with many delightful on the menu and outside menu. For example, their towering surround speakers delightfully thrilled me with their serious attention to music.
I ordered an omelette Sammie and it was the most delicious breakfast I’ve had in a long while. Every bite had thrilling discoveries of herbs, feta cheese, basil pesto and a bit of beetroot coming in to join the soirée happening in my mouth. I have to note, having Norah Jones croon sweet nothings into my ear through the surround speakers - surround sound Norah is a goddess - could not compare to the love that was served on the plate in front of me on that surreal, wet Saturday morning in Cape Town.
I’ve found a new breakfast place for my morning routine.
