De-Lovely and The Grapevine in Citrusdal

Updated Sunday, 29 January 2017

Citrusdal is a sweet little town and what adds to that sweetness is a gift shop called De-Lovely and the simply sublime The Grapevine coffee shop.ย  Run by a mother and daughter team, De-Lovely and The Grapevine are found next door to each other at 30 Voortrekker Street.

We visited on a scorching hot day (as only the Cederberg can be in late December) and The Grapevine, with its green and white striped decor and white furniture was a cool oasis. ย I love the long, narrow framed blackboards down either side of the fire place and the interesting paint techniques on the walls.

French cafe music played in the background and we settled down on the comfy cushions with a pile of new magazines to wait for our filter coffee and sinfully good peppermint crisp tart.ย  I love an hour or two in a coffee shop and The Grapevine made us feel right at home!

There is a deck area but I think that might be better left for the cooler winter months โ€“ on this day it was airconditioning that I was after.

The Grapevine is also open for breakfasts; light lunches and serves a range of scrumptious cakes.

De-Lovely gift shop is located in an old house with tables and chairs on the long, wide front stoep.ย  There is nothing that says country living as much as a covered stoep does and this one with its red and white striped roof does a sterling job of advertising life in the Cederberg.

Wares ranging from lifestyle goods, kids stuff, arts and crafts, delectables and frivole are spread through the various rooms of the house. I loved the beautiful glass ware, the bath salts and the linens – if we hadnโ€™t visited on the verge of closing time I could certainly have browsed for a long while!

Both De-Lovely and The Grapevine are worth a visit when you are next in Citrusdal so make sure you stop at 30 Voortrekker Street!
