I went to Highpoint and did some shopping there and I saw that there was a new cafe that had just opened recently. It is called "Cafe Vita". They specialize in sweets, but they also do lunch as well. I had the $9.50 lunch special there. It consisted of quiche and salad. The salad was drenched in way too much balsamic vinegar, so much that it made the bottom of my quiche all soggy. The bottom of the quiche is supposed to be hard but not too hard. The quiche tasted a little bit bland. I had to ask for water and another girl clearing the tables looked a bit sad. I guessed that she was fourteen or fifteen years old and hadn't matured. Or that she was underpaid. Either way I would not return. The food in this case is overpriced.
Later on, after being ripped off by $3 for my pre paid phone recharge, I decided to head down to Planet Chocolate. I had hoped that this would cheer me up, as I have always passed by this place and wanted to try it. I had a strawberry crepe with ice cream ($7.95). I ordered a chai, but a few minutes later the lady told me that they ran out of chai powder and offered a refund which was fine and I got my money back. I loved the pancake, however it was really hard to cut it with a plastic fork and knife. Also the strawberries were a bit sour and not fresh. Maybe they should have offered some sort of specials according to the season, like Max Brenner do. And silver cutlery would be nice, instead of the plastic ones for those that are eating in. For those that are taking the pancake away, it would be nice if you can fold it the way the Japanese do. I would come back here to try their Proffetjies.
