Pop up Brunch @ Teta

For a while I have been thinking about creating the concept of a monthly pop up brunch. I  finally decided to stop thinking and start doing, so this last weekend, I organized the first of many pop-up brunches that I have planned for this year. This concept  is perfect for me because allows me to visit more new places and talk about them on my blog and  it allows me to spend time with interesting people while enjoying great food.  The venue for this brunch was Teta which is a restaurant/café that was recommended by one of my guests. I had toyed with a few other venues before this recommendation but I ended up deciding to give this one a try. Teta opened late last year …so I was definitely curious as I had not heard of it as yet.  We arrived at Teta mid -morning on Saturday…I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of the place it is very appealing, the décor is a mix of ultra modern with African accents…very stylish… i'm happy to say that all my guests arrived within a short time, the introductions were made as  we quickly made our orders the guests began the process of getting to know each other. I was the only person they knew in common… so I had taken the risk of bringing strangers together at a place that I had never been to.  Luckily for me the guests were so pleasantly surprised with how great the place and the company was and the afternoon ended being so refreshingly delightful that we plan to do it again before month end at a different place!!!

Naturally Zimbabwean: Organic Teas

I had seen Petalilli Organic Herbal Teas in Food Lovers Market  and other shops, and I had always admired the packaging and I had even assumed it was an imported product.  I happened to meet Peta the lady behind the label at an event and she offered me to try the teas.. being a big tea drinker...I was keen to try and was pleasantly surprised... I like the wide variety of flavours and aromas. 'Petalilli Organic Herbal Teas are grown organically with love on a small farm outside Harare' . I believe that a cup of tea makes everything better...

Coffee @Pistachio Cafe

I decided to conclude my trip to Sam Levys with a quick coffee break at Pistachio, I believe that busy days are made better by a short break at a  lovely cafe. All the tables outside were taken so I settled for a table inside. Pistachio specializes in french pastries as well as many other sweet and savoury decadent treats.  On the upside, it felt warm and cozy inside... but the signs of  the beginings of a Zim winter are ever nearer...I  ended up ordering a chai Latte... and indulged in some  casual people watching in this cool corner of Sam Levys Village.

The following are their opening hours:

Mon-Friday 7.30am-5.30pm

Saturday 8.00am- 2.00pm
