Breakfast with my Bestie at FortySix beans

I am one of those lucky people who happens to live in the same house as my bestie Kelly. This means that we can hang out whenever we are home and instead of a Whatsapp, I just knock on her door.

You know those times when you wake up super early on a weekend and you are craving a great breakfast? Kels and I woke up with the same idea and went on the prowl for just the right place. At this time I should just point out that Kelly and I are Public Relations people and we love food, a lot, so choosing a restaurant is not as simple as just picking a place. This mission has strict guidelines which we wanted to adhere to:
1) It needed to be close to home (Kenilworth).
2) It had to be a place we had never been to before.
3) It must be cheap.
4) There must be an outside section to sit at.

So I went onto my favourite app, ZOMATO, which is the perfect app for anyone who likes to eat out or is super indecisive about where to go when it comes to choosing places to eat. This app is like Yelp, for those who have been to the USA, but its just for restaurants. You type in a restaurant name, the kind of food you're looking for and it comes up with options in Cape Town, or whichever city you are in. You can then apply filters to narrow your search options such as location, price, ratings, etc. Once you get to a list of restaurants you can check out menus, read reviews or even write your own! More info about it here.

So this is how we, eventually found ourselves driving through Wynberg in search of a quaint little coffee shop which we had never heard of before. The place was called FortySix Beans and for those breakfast lovers of the Southern Suburbs, its in right next to the famous Penny Lane in Wynberg.

I have personally had very bad experiences at Penny Lane, the cafe next door which has super cheap breakfast (like really!) and long queues to match it! We found this place, FortySix Beans and gave it a try and boy were we impressed. The service was quick and so friendly. Its the kind of place where you feel like you're having breakfast at your mom's house and the prices are astounding!

Despite the fact that the outside section is in a lane off a busy street in Wynberg, they have made their best efforts to make the place comfortable and clean and the inside is simple but lovely.

We both had hash brown breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, 2 rashers of bacon, hash brown, grilled tomato and a slice of toast for R34. For those who are even more thrifty, however, their menu ranges from R16 onward.

So yes, that was our little breakfast adventure which turned out to be quite a success! I recommend this place to anyone who feels keen for a spot of tea and a yummy brekkie.

Cheers, darling
