friends first

the commonground cafe has an awesome view, dee-licious breakfast, origin (read ‘greatest’) coffee and pretty shweet value for money. it’s right above rondebosch commons and looks onto to the splenderful mountain. take the morning off (or have your lectures cancelled) and catch up on some newsprint while the horrendous traffic outside ignores you. or meet up with friends and plan your 2011 living arrangements; not so much an actual house, but what you’ll put in that house and whether to have a herb and a veggie garden and how you’ll learn to cook epicure. sigh. blissful bowl of oats with mascarpone and berry coulis : fifteen. scrummy toast with scrambles and rosas : eighteen. granola with stewed fruit and yoghurt. twenty-five.

hurrah for the church with a cafe on top!
