If Ikigai - Artisan Coffee Bar & Deli in Swellendam was a suburb in Jozi, I would totally go with contemporary Dainfern. Clean lines, minimalist and upmarket. A Gourmet Milkshake (usually means your milkshake got a bit dressed up and is sticky around the edges) will only set you back R39 and a Gourmet Ciabatta Sandwich almost R80. My gut really thought Mozzarella Ciabatta Sandwich as it had Basil Pesto which I love and Avo, but I felt husband pressured into the Lamb version (to the slaughter). Ag, I was feeling subservient that day. Dion had the best selling Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich. Short story, the Chicken was da bomb and I disliked the Lamb. Not enough Hummus and too much of Pepper. Ek like mos nie Pepper nie. I charmed Dion out of most of his food because he liked the lamb, mos. Milkshake, Coffee and Millionaire Shortbread type biscuit were delicious. Loved. ???? They also sell all kinds of upmarket decor and fancy gifts. Nicely displayed and priced accordingly. Definitely worth a visit if you into fab coffee en so, and you like Dainfern. ???? PS. I forgot to ask if they bake their own bread, but the bread was delicious!!
