Col’s Family Café serves up something special for the whole family

Col’s Family Café, located in the Moffet on Main Lifestyle Centre in Gqeberha, offers both parents and young children an escape from the hustle and bustle and their great offering makes them a popular spot for locals.

The café welcomes young children to let off some steam and giving them a memorable time doing so. Parents are able to take a load off and sit amid Cols’ trendy setting and sip one of their inviting warm beverages or tuck into their meals on offer.

As one who is constantly on the lookout for trendy places to visit or to work from, Col’s Family Café certainly ticks a lot of boxes!

What’s on the menu at Col’s Family Café?

Col’s serves as both an ideal takeaway coffee shop as well as a chic and stylish sit-down restaurant. Their menu is thorough and it has a little bit of everything for the young and old.

Coffee-lovers are able to get their fix of quality caffeine whilst my personal favourite, their iced coffees, always go down well. Their range of warm beverages, especially considering the chilly weather of late, is a popular choice for both parents and children alike.

Their food menu is again quite diverse and contains many of the comfort meals one would associate with a family-friendly restaurant. Meal options are available for both parents and for children, thus making it an ideal family escape.

I recently enjoyed one of their wraps during a meeting I had with some of my colleagues. We all remarked at the generous portions and the taste of the wraps, it was certainly a distraction from the work at hand!

As one who appreciates good styling and décor I am always taken back by the simplicity and effectiveness of the interior at Col’s Family Café. From the hanging rattan lights to the wonderful wooden benches, it has a real Bali feel to it.

The restaurant area is separated from the adjacent kids area which allows parents to keep a watchful eye on their children, whilst also being able to enjoy some time apart in peace.

Play Centre

Gqeberha locals will be well-acquainted with the offering of Funky Frogs, which was the previous name of the company. The Col’s Play Centre area is a wonderful area where the young children can play to their heart’s content, whilst being looked and cared for by their staff.

The close proximity to a number of schools makes Col’s Family Café a favourite amongst parents who have stumbled upon this local gem.

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!
