La Maison

There's no place like home, and well, there's no pace like La Maison. 
Hidden in plain sight in Durban North, La Maison is the cutest and most welcoming little cafe, spa and scrapbooking shop.

With indulgent pastries, great coffee and so many awesome bits and bobs to look at and buy, maybe try it out for your next girlies brunch if you're in the area... 

Fun table decor

Nothing like a spot of shopping after tea...

I do love ribbons...

Lazing at Liberty

above pics taken from here

Tucked behind the awesome Couch+Interiors on Windermere Rd, hides At Liberty, a cafe with an ambiance so welcoming that a girlfriend and I went for a quick coffee and ended up staying for lunch, lazing the day away in this quirky cool little gem.

Opened in June this year by owners Jamie and Chris, At Liberty is a getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering fantastic coffees and delicious light meals. 

At Liberty is currently only open during the day but is also available for hire for birthday parties and any celebrations, including hens parties. (I hear from a reliable source that Chris and Jamie make a concerted effort to make any night memorable – but I didn't tell you that.)

If you are in the Durban area do yourself a favour and pop by. Who knows, you may also end up staying far longer than planned...

Find At Liberty on 415 Windermere Rd (Lilian Ngoyi Rd) and on Facebook.

The walls are lined with quotes from John Lennon to Dr Seuss

I am so in love with these strelitzia cushions.

Naughty 90's, Churchill House

Fancy a cup of strong coffee, a decadent chocolate muffin/brownie served in a terracotta pot or maybe, on the healthier side, a light cous cous salad tossed with roasted veg, all while perusing delightful antiques, gorgeous vintage jewellery and unique bits and bobs? Then you HAVE to stop by naughty 90's in the Churchill House.

Every time I visit I stay far longer than necessary, walking through the maze of overflowing rooms. I quite literally feel like Alice, but instead of falling down a rabbit hole, I have fallen into a treasure box and have no intention of finding my way out...   

Find Churchill House on Churchill Rd, off Windermere Rd.
