Lunch at the Argentinean Bakery. Spring Day 2014

1669


I have it on good authority that if this tree is green,’
then it is OFFICIALLY Spring!


So I do my “Happy Dance”…


And head off here for lunch.


My home-away-from home,
that is being discovered by people from all over Johannesburg


East, you can look down 7th Street


Or you can sit on the 4th Ave side
and watch the clientele popping into Arthur Bales


Don’t get here too late,
or these shelves WILL be empty.


The BEST health bread…EVER.


And at the opposite end of the scale.
Certainly not on the “Banting” Diet


THIS is why people come from far and wide.
The best croissants this side of Jan Smuts Ave.


Once upon a time, this used to work.
Now, it is merely an interesting wall decoration


The heart of the coffee shop.


Latte, one spoonful at a time.


Customers come and go…and come sit for hours.
Time it right and there will be a table available


My favourite meal.
Chicken livers with a toasted Rye roll on the side.
To be eaten with a spoon


Hugh, one of the regulars enjoying a post lunch beverage.


And more importantly in today’s modern connected world.
FREE Wi-Fi…and not a limited time voucher in sight.
Well done to owner Pierre for getting it installed.
HOWEVER, if people do abuse the system, it gets turned off.
No downloading movies please.


And the meal will not break the bank


There are board games available.
And newspapers…and did I mention,
FREE Wi-Fi?


All that aside, this is why customers keep coming back.
Great coffee AND


Chocolate croissants…
