Dassiesfontein

I have a number of vices.  One of them is coffee, one of the others is bread.  Fresh bread.  Fresh homemade bread.

In light of this, I asked my co-roadtripper Pete to pull in at Dassiesfontein farmstall, just before the right on the N2 toward Villiersdorp.  We were enroute to the mother city, Cape Town.

Dassiesfontein, or Dassies, is best known in our family for their homemade, white bread.  To others, Im not sure... the shop, now resembling something like a General Dealer from the 50's mated to a garage sale, and a Mugg & Bean.  And they sell kippers.  Who eats kippers...?! and wasn't born in the 50's.

Alas, despite the obvious demand for their highly prized/ced loaves, it seems they soldier on with a single oven and the singularly determined approach of placing orders in advance.  For the less-prepared, you can purchase a pie - the pie in question was the first indication that Cape Town prices... are not East London prices.

You can pre-order bread at Tel: 028 214 1475

Fortunately the bread was not essential.  I went in looking for flowers, found some awesome... yellow... ones. Green stems. Nice.
