The Vida e Caffé phenomenon is such that we'll happily pay R19.50 for an egg and chourico roll and R10.50 for a small capuccino. In the hour I spent there this morning, catching up with PR hot-shot Craig Dummett, I saw GQ art director Robert Cilliers and probably 30 other folk, each more stubble bearded and chin chiseled than the next. Even the gals have a chic people-to-see attitude on a lazy public holiday morning. While I'm sure the same number of Green Point habitués hang out at Giovanni on the next block, Vida e is certainly the place for the 30-somethings. While I waited for Craig to arrive, happily his PR skills are not compromised by his lack of being-on-time ones, I noticed a twosome at the adjacent table. My guess is they're nutritionist and client on a walkabout of the client's eating spots discussing better choices.
I should find myself one of those too.
Vida e caffee seems fashionable for now... Been to Cafe Alo Long Street and the coffee there is the BEST... I love my coffee and cant start the day without.
Seattle still not up to my standard. Paul..I'll say VIA Cafe ALO :O)
