Kai Coffee Shop, Knysna

Monday, August 18th, 2008

(*edit*) Kai Coffee is no more. It was supposed to open in Grey St but never did
(*edit*) The owners of what was Kai Coffee are back at “agape”, 4 Grey street. Go check it out.
If you enjoy a freshly made cappacinno or “flat-white” coffee while you shop for your home furniture and decor or tiles, carpets, decking and flooring, one-stop shop style, then you should definitely visit Absolute Home Decor, in the Knysna Industrial area, on the corner of Vigilence & Waenhoud Rd.

Kai coffee shop is run by the owners of Inside Living, who are German-imported kitchen suppliers, found under the same roof as the Absolute Home Decor showroom. Choose their warm leather sofa or outdoor tables and benches by a water feature and large ferns, to sip your ordered chai tea or quality strong coffee and nibble on a freshly baked gourmet muffin or sandwhich and please try their absolutely delicious carrot cake topped with fruit and large seeds. And they are also famous for a so-called chocolate brownie, which in my baking opinion is more like a chocolate meringue brownie, which slowly melts in your mouth… different but gets both thumbs right perking up.

Lately the sun has been inviting for late morning and early afternoon tea & coffee breaks, you can certainly enjoy these & service at Kai and attain your quotes for your home interiors too – perfect combination to make your sometimes agonizing home specification a more laid-back experience, a very good idea and something new to the Knysna retail scene.

Kai Coffee shop has used the retail market to their advantage and once you have tried and tested their way of life you will certainly be back for more.

These are only a few reasons why Kanonkop has been awarded a 5 star rating.

Breakfasts are made to the customers liking and the owners are acutely aware of the golfers early starting times as they are members of the 3 major courses in the area and offer special rates for clients. They make breakfast provision for the early birds and late waking holiday makers. The Conyers family open their home to their guests and assist to please their every whim, also offering a shuttle service to enable clients easy access to all of Knysna’s activities, if you are lucky enough they will invite you for a Moroccan prawn braai dinner and Opera singing – Mrs Conyers is a well known South African Opera singer and thus brings the drama into her every chosen home accent, such as the Blue Crane water featre in the entrance to their home – a true interior delight.

Sunbird, Sivuyile, No Matata and Paradise are the names of the suites at Kanonkop. Paradise has been named the “Best Room” to stay over in Knysna – by Frommer’s South Africa Travel Guide. Each room is sophisticated, romantic and did I mention – luxurious… clients become friends as they return every year to enjoy their stay with the Conyers family, while exploring Knysna.
