Pajamas + Jam

Intro

Dit is ’n besonderse mooi Maandag in die Wes-Kaap en ek en Lieze het skaars minder as ’n maand oor voor ons op ’n vliegtuig moet klim na Shanghai, China. Daarom besluit onsself te bederf en ’n draai te gaan maak by ons gunsteling koffiewinkel in Somerset-Wes, Pajamas & Jam. Die plek is, soos altyd, stampvol. Ek verlustig my aan al wat ’n soetding is en saam sit ons in verwondering oor die dekor en die outentiekheid van die plek. Oral om ons is die reuk van vars brode en koeke. Ons bestel middagete en nagereg en dit voel of ek aansit by ’n feesmaal. Nie net is die kos lekker nie, maar die aanbieding daarvan is ook visueel bevredigend. As jy nog nie ’n draai by hierdie sjiek koffiewinkel gemaak het nie, sal ek jou aanraai om dit so vinnig as moontlik te doen. Jy sal nie spyt wees nie!

It is a particularly beautiful Monday in the Western Cape, and Lieze and I have just less than a month before we have to get on an airplane to Shanghai, China. So we decided to treat ourselves at our favourite coffee shop in Somerset West, Pajamas & Jam. Every time I enter this hidden gem I am mesmerised by the cakes, the décor, the food and authenticity of this place. The place, however, is packed like always. We are surrounded by the smell of fresh bread and cake. We sit down at the nearest little table and we order both lunch and dessert. Not only is the food good, but its presentation is also visually satisfying. If you have not been to this chic coffee shop yet, I would advise you to do it as quickly as possible. You won’t be disappointed!

Good to know

Parking is restricted as it it is in the industrial area.
The place is very busy so I would advise you to book a table, especially on weekends or when you come from far.
Pajamas & Jam is closed on Sundays.
