aellia coffee shop

Near my friend Keke's place, by the Kyundae university area, is the cutest little coffee shop called Aellia.  The decor is quirky, the staff friendly but its claim to fame is undoubtedly their Honey Bread. I don't know of any places that sell this in South Africa but let me tell you this is one of the most calorie laden, tongue pleasing, pieces of dessert I have ever tasted, even in its simplicity. I'm not 100% sure how it's made, but my guess is there is some kind of syrup poured and sugar sprinkled on the thick slice of bread which is then baked a little crispy. Then it is dressed with a whirl of cream your hips will not be pleased with and decorated with some beautiful fresh strawberries (when they are in season of course- responsible eating).  Just added a picture of their deadly cheesecake too for good measure.


Oh yes and their coffee is good too....
