Juvenate Conscious Eatery, Stellenbosch📍

Nestled on the corner of Dorp Street in 'Student Town' is a flairful and fur-friendly, botanically boho meeting place. It has kept me coming back since a warm winter morning in first year, 2021, when the above photo was shot.

Juvenate is known by many for their smoothie bowls and mouthwatering vegan options. Think a vegan BTL open sarmie: Bacon, Tomato and Lettuce, except the "bacon" is actually barbecued tempeh!

Personally, Juvenate is loved by me for their picturesque hot drinks, filled to the brim with extra TLC and topped with panache.

Usually I ask the barista to surprise me with whatever his heart desires to create that morning, but I have once or twice asked especially for the ellie 𓃰. Regardless, I'm often met with a pearly white smile and twinkling eyes at the counter or by the table as the waiter hears my order of the day.

Whether you're an indoors or outdoors guy or girly, you should feel quite at your leisure here. Outside offers a refreshing breeze under an old oak canopy of dappled light. And for my fellow window-shoppers, inside has a few lovely items on sale for your perusal.

Open from 08h00-16h00 on Tuesday through to Saturday, and Sundays from 08h00 to 14h00, there exists in these busy streets a perfectly cozy catch-up nook, and it's Juvenate.
