You have to visit these two coffee shops (oldies but goodies)

Happy Coffee Day y’all. Is there any other way to start your morning than with a warm cuppa joe?

If you agree stop hitting the snooze button and visit these two steamy coffee spots! Toss in a buttery breakfast and you’re winning at life.

1. The Perfect Cup - Parkview

Reason to rise and shine: Life is too short not to enjoy coffee daily in this glorious city… welcome to the hidden home of coffee, this is where you will taste and savor the perfect cup of coffee. They have their very own roastery on site and you can take home a bag of beans too.This perfect Parkview coffee shop is intimate and is one of the Parks best kept secrets.Visit them on a Saturday because they have seductive live jazz music and home baked cakes and rusks.

You cannot leave without trying: the classic Americano or Cappuccino with almond and remember breakfast doesn’t have to be bland or boring so order their take on a shakshuka, spicy poached eggs in a delectable tomato relish with a side of crisp ciabatta. Expect to leave tummy space for their famous pancakes, the apple crumble with cinnamon and cream is mouthgasmic.

2. De La Creme - Melville

Reason to rise and shine: This is basically the only reason to spend your morning in Melville at the moment especially because they offer free reign on calories. Also they’ve been around since 1987! Also they bake their very own goodies, light, feather-like chocolate croissants, chocolate brownies, flaky spanakopita, salted caramel tarts, name it they bake it. They roll out so many decent options you’ll need a takeaway.

You cannot leave without trying: The menu is exclusively based on fresh produce, there is something for everyone (even vegans), although so hard to select only one or two dishes, go with the Mediterranean scramble prepared with feta, chorizo, baby marrow and loads of chili or go with the classic avo smash on toast, they serve the best rye bread! And try their Greek Coffee prepared the traditional way or go all out with their decadently rich peanut butter hot chocolate.
