WHEN IN DOUBT… We go to a coffee shop! Whether it’s hot outside, or when we simply can’t think anymore, coffee shops are our go to place to recharge and indulge in our favourites. In this issue, we explore this love of coffee shops and what they bring to the table. Whether you’re reading an old favourite book, stalking your ex on Instagram or contemplating life, these spots provide a sense of comfort and allow you to enter an almost alternate universe where everything automatically feels better. Especially now. We all live online and wake up most mornings with not-so-happy news on our timelines, and while we know that food and coffee can only do so much, a strong community of loved ones, at home and at work, does wonders to lift the mood. It’s because of this community that we’re here, doing what we love. So allow our March issue to lift up your spirits and allow yourself to indulge in the little things. Take a walk through new experiences in the foodie scene with our editor Sanaa and find out where Soni Adriance (soni.side.up) is enjoying the weather. Also in this issue, we try our hands at cafe favourites you can try at home, courtesy of Phil’s Kitchen (Pancakes? Yes please!) and Juliet from Greenspoon awes us with her coffee sundae recipe and storytelling. Plus, Jacquie Mwai is back! Her drool worthy photography and excellent taste in dessert sets the stage for some serious guilty eating pleasure! There’s a lot to enjoy in this issue and Yummy online. Look out for our giveaways running right now and the White Cap Big Brunch weekend happening on the 30th of March Weekend. Enjoy reading the new Yummy and while you read, we recommend basking in the sun, sipping on some iced coffee or if it’s that kind of day, a glass of wine. We all deserve little bouts of sunshine once in a while.
