keep it local<br />

and support businesses in your community<br />

Hell yes, free coffee!<br />

If you could shed the expectations,<br />

socially and personally, that are put on<br />

you, what would you become if you<br />

returned to yourself, to wholeness? If<br />

you could be authentically you, creating<br />

a purposeful, larger than life existence<br />

based on questions like:<br />

Why do you wake up in the morning?<br />

What change do you want to see in this<br />

world? What world do you want to leave<br />

to your kids, and to their kids? What will<br />

be your legacy?<br />

The founders of Bonobo, Annelies<br />

Basten & Deane Simmonds, went through<br />

a journey of transformation as they set<br />

a goal to create a more meaningful life,<br />

a life in line with their values and for<br />

the betterment of our planet, and on a<br />

smaller scale, our community.<br />

Bonobo is at the centre of what<br />

unearthed when they were inspired and<br />

challenged by the big questions above.<br />

Born from the aim to spread a ripple of<br />

kindness, and causing the least amount of<br />

harm, was a hospitality venture that sets<br />

out to create a happy work environment,<br />

a community of like-minded people,<br />

deep and positive connections, and an<br />

introduction to living solely off plants.<br />

Following from that, is the creation<br />

of a regenerative garden just down the<br />

road, that will provide the café with<br />

spray-free produce grown in healthy soil<br />

created from their own coffee grounds<br />

and scraps, closing the loop, decreasing<br />

the carbon footprint and recreating a<br />

connection with the land, improving<br />

communal and individual health.<br />

As soon as you step into Bonobo’s<br />

grounds, you feel there is a different<br />

energy to the place; you cannot put your<br />

finger on it, but it feels lighter, brighter<br />

and positive. You can tell a lot of love and<br />

care goes into the running of this busy<br />

little hub, as goes into everything they<br />

serve.<br />

If you have never<br />

had an oat latte, this<br />

is the place to give it<br />

a go. Annelies says<br />

right from the start,<br />

they implemented a<br />

‘try before you buy’<br />

kind of policy: if you<br />

do not have a positive<br />

coffee experience, you<br />

do not have to pay<br />

for it! Furthermore,<br />

if you have never had<br />

tofu in your life, they<br />

are happy to give<br />

you a sample of this<br />

versatile, delicious plant protein.<br />

At Bonobo, there is cabinet food and<br />

a menu packed with your favourite<br />

breakfast and lunch options. There is<br />

something for everyone, including a kids<br />

menu which functions as a colouring in<br />

artwork to keep them happy, too.<br />

Each and every dish served looks like a<br />

work of art, and is carefully put together<br />

to create the perfect<br />

combination of<br />

tastes and textures.<br />

On Friday evenings<br />

the courtyard gets<br />

packed with people<br />

winding down their<br />

week with refreshing<br />

cocktails, while<br />

listening to the<br />

uplifting sounds of<br />

the DJ.<br />

If you got to this<br />

point and you are still reading, enjoy a<br />
