Brioche - Crawl #62 Revisited

The PE Coffee Crawl has reached the #160 mark!

Brioche, located at 181 Main Rd. in Walmer, was the site of our Wednesday, January 21 Crawl.  Our usual Thursday morning was switched to Wednesday for the Brioche Revisit to accommodate the schedule of Crawler newlyweds Lee (Rodwell) and Graham Wood as they were visiting PE from CT that week.  For most of the Crawlers it was the first time seeing the happy couple since their nuptuals in October.  It was wonderful spending the morning catching up with them and enjoying the relaxed and homey atmosphere at Brioche.

We first visited Brioche in April, 2012 (see April, 2012 post) only three days after the official opening of the shop.  It quickly became one of the most popular coffee establishments in PE.  From the outstanding freshly baked artisan breads and other amazing baked goods to the menu of tempting breakfasts and lunches to the delicious Illy brand coffee beverages and homemade lemonade and ginger beer, Brioche provides delightful eats (and drinks) to satisfy every taste!

The management and much of the staff has remained the same in the three years since Brioche opened its doors.  Celestine (who served us at our 2012 Crawl), Bright, and barista Dan made sure that Crawlers Lee and Graham Wood, Stella and Beryl Dawson, Leanne Waller, Elize Pretorius, Colleen Le Roux, June Nash, Gail Darne, Margaret and Arthur Marshall, Sylvia Mynhardt, Margaret Zoetmulder, and I  enjoyed the revisit as much as our first visit.....and we certainly did!

So, with all the cake and muffin choices available it was difficult for me to decide on what to partake of, but with a little nudging from Gail, I ordered the Famous Brioche Cinnamon Bun.  Now, I'm a real fan of the Cinnabon brand cinnamon buns that can be got at any mall or airport Stateside.....I even "liked" Cinnabon on FB just so I can get a glimpse of their luscious cinnamon bun pics every day!  I must say that the Brioche buns come pretty close....kudos to the Brioche bakers!  PECC readers, make it a point sometime soon to stop into Brioche and try a cinnamon bun.....you'll be soooooo glad you did, even if it means extra hours at the gym.

Brioche is open Mon-Fri, 7:45-4 and Sat, 8-3.  No need to make a booking but for all inquiries call 082 927 5986 or 041 581 2136.
