Citizen Cafe in Blairgowrie

Over the weekend, we packed the kids into the car for a coffee break at the Citizen Café in Blairgowrie. It was all the bicycles parked outside the café while driving down Conrad road that first drew my attention. With the café so close to Delta Park and the Braamfontein Spruit, it seems that many cyclists are in need of a caffeine fix when they get to that part of the route!

Both the décor of the café and the atmosphere inside is very appealing. The walls are covered in wallpaper depicting the cityscape. Vinyl records are playing in the background. The waiters are laid back and friendly. It looks like a great community café and I am sure the Blairgowrie residents must just love it. In that sense it reminds me of the Whippet in Linden or Butter in Berario, and I think every little village in Johannesburg must have one of these – a good local hangout.
