November 2022 The Eats: Chocolate Crumble Gourmet Shake Lemon Cheesecake Gourmet Shake Salted Caramel Gourmet Shake The shakes are divine. Fairly priced at R49 for 500 ml. The Choc Crumble and Salted Caramel shakes especially were amazing. The Lemon Cheesecake was slightly artificial tasting, though overall we were very happy with our purchase

A great stop and their "Vetkoek" is definitely one of the best you will get in SA and the coffee

Great place for cold & fresh milkshakes to boost you along the road on a hot day. Possibly the best coffee milkshake I've had (coffee & cinnamon). They use actual ingredients, not just flavour syrups. Can also recommend their peanut butter & vanilla. You get good value for what you pay - definitely worth a stop!

I generally prefer a good cup of coffee but with all the good things I’ve seen other people post, and being 30 plus degrees outside, I’ve opted for an iced coffee. It tasted like this lady put a slice of heaven in a cup. I drank it so fast I got brain freeze. And seriously contemplated buying a second one for the road but wanted to give myself reason to come back, soon. I hope they turn this into a franchise. Such a simple yet delicious opportunity to spread the joy across the country.

Every year when we go on holiday we stop here. Their milkshakes are to die for!! If you're looking for a sweet treat they are the perfect place to go to if you're on the N2.
