Change the way you think of coffee at State 5 Craft Coffee

State 5 Craft Coffee

There’s something special about State 5 Craft Coffee and I’m about to share it with you all. It’s really quite something and I am now officially hooked… it’s their signature Cold Brewed Coffee on Tap.

Cold coffee? I hear you say, and yes cold coffee is very, very special indeed, here’s what’s so special about it. The old adage of “all good things come to those who wait” couldn’t be closer to the truth in this instance.

The process is quite a thing. It involves steeping coarsely ground beans in room temperature water for up to 20 hours, but the result is simply magnificent!

Not only does it render a brew that’s less acidic and more refreshing, but it releases the essential oils of the bean, resulting in a deliciously chocolatey, more flavoursome end product that has 2-3 times the caffeine content of a normal cup of coffee.

The artisan bakery is a new addition to Greenside which I must add is rather amazing.

The products are made using non-GMO Stoneground flour sourced in Drakensburg which coupled with other quality ingredients and a bakers best friend, time, lead to scrumptious breads and pastries.

What is amazing is both aspects of the business utilise time to obtain a superior offering for its patrons.

Apart from the fresh from the oven Sourdough breads and lip-smacking pastries, be on the lookout for more sumptuous creations including tarts, cookies, quiches and moreish pies.

I really must comment on how amazing the bread is… it’s the real deal and I should have brought a loaf home with me. I guess I’ll have to go back soon!

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
