Back Area Gardens

A nice rustic and peaceful atmosphere with organically grown produce both on the menu and in the shop. We enjoyed an excellent brunch. I had the Camembert & red onion marmalade toasted sandwich, and my wife had the bacon and egg with mayo toasted sandwich. They have full cream raw Jersey milk delivered on Fridays at R32 per 750ml (includes bottle deposit of R8). Just need to note they are only open Wednesday to Saturday every week.

Found this little piece of country… right in the middle of suburbia… Hidden away in Pinelands you will find this wonderful little deli and cafe, filled with fresh produce to eat or take away.. After some tea and toasted sandwiches, made on the most amazing bread…. Which we had to bring home … The staff are so friendly and welcoming from the minute you step in the door… Make sure to add this to you TO VISIT list
