Catch me at Coimbra!

Landsdowne rd. That great highway connecting the decadence of Claremont with the flavour of Mitchell's Plain. Dotted along this slice of tar you will find anything from KPMG, to many a tyre wheeler and dealer, and the infamous Koehler Motors - loved by some and hated by others.

And of course the highlight on this little strip of Cape Town, is Coimbra.

About a year ago I had my first experience of Coimbra's coffee. I guess, as usual, I was waiting to collect my car from the above mentioned Koehler Motors, but let me tell you, Coimbra coffee is worth the wait!

Yesterday I found myself there again (yes, you guessed it, car back at the garage), debating who the "poor" are in the gosepl of Luke with my good bud Rob, and enjoying not only the Americano but a scrumptious breakfast too!

Dare I use the MATRIX at this point...

ACIDITY: 5/5 Deliciously bright aftertaste!
AROMA: 5/5 Just enough chocloate to have me interested.
BODY: 4/5 Earthy rounded texture
FLAVOUR: 5/5 Chocolate and sweet

Wow, good coffee this Buondi stuff!

To top it off you can fill youir bsket with delectible goodies from their bakery - Muffins, Danish pastries, Croissants, Doughnuts and Traditional Portugese Treats in all shapes and sizes.

Yummy! You had better check it out!
