With its founder hailing from the City of Jacarandas herself, it comes as no surprise that Lucky Bread Company has become synonymous with Pretoria. The brand has grown into a foodie fave with multiple locations in its portfolio, and its latest was recently launched at the Castle Gate Lifestyle Centre. Based in one corner of the lifestyle centre, the space offers ample indoor and outdoor seating with greenery hiding the parking lot from view. Its high ceilings, large windows and natural hues make for a refreshing, yet homy atmosphere and from the menu, you can pick and choose between all sorts of delicious options. Following a hike at the Faerie Glen Nature Reserve, we tried out this specific location for brunch and it was simply divine. From delightful granola bowls with papaya or berries, to impressive, generously portioned Mediterranean Egg Bowl and a Bacon & Brie Lucky Fresh Sandwich (which we could get as gluten-free), we’d thought we’d tried it all. But, as we were indulging in our post-hike brunch, waiters came past with plates filled with even more impressive meals, making us want to return for lunch and dinner too. Lucky Bread Company is most certainly a foodie destination
