Koffie Stories (Afrikaans for ‘coffee stories’) is a quirky little coffee shop with a big difference. It is situated in Gouritsmond, which is little more than a river mouth with a few inhabitants that have settled in this gorgeous part of the Garden Route District of the Western Cape.

The menu is full of traditional South African delights and other popular dishes. These include meatballs, potato wedges, vetkoek and mince, scones with cheese and jam, curried fish, burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, quiche, garlic bread, all-day breakfasts, and home-cooked Sunday lunches. For patrons with a sweet tooth, there are cakes, peppermint crisp tart, and milk tart pancakes. Milkshakes, coffees, hot chocolates and pots of teas are all par for the course as diners enjoy the tales of Gouritsmond.

Koffie Stories is involved in the community, and enjoys holding reading groups or hosting events for businesses and families. This makes the coffee shop a great place to meet and interact with local residents for a truly South African experience.
