5 Ways to Celebrate Love in Somerset West this Valentine's Day
Have you taken a stroll down Bright or Caledon Street recently? Did you feel that warm, bubbly sensation emanating from every coffee shop, every smile shared with a stranger and even from the pavement itself? Maybe it’s just the February heat – but we think it’s something more... It’s the Month of Love in the village that you love!
And all this love is leading up to the Day of Love – Valentine’s Day! How are you celebrating? Here are five lovely ideas for celebrating Valentine's Day in Somerset West this year. You’re going to love these…
The Morning
Start the day off right on Bright Street with a breakfast special. Look no further than the specials menu at Schoon Cafe, where they’re serving up scrambled eggs with the choice of avo/bacon/smoked trout and the option of a flat white/americano/cup of tea for just R135.
*They’ll be open from 7 am, so you should be able to get this in before shooting off to the office or school run.
The Gift
Now, before we get too far into the day, have you thought about getting something to make your loved one feel extra special?
FOR HER: If you’re thinking flowers, pop into the KWIKSPAR Somerset at Lions Square or Paradiso at The Avenues. If you’re thinking a little more outside the box, browse around The Mood Collectives for a home decor piece she’ll love.
FOR HIM: He loves wine, you know that. So there’s definitely something at WYN or the KWIKSPAR Tops he’ll enjoy. But he also loves cycling, you know that too. There is a team at Specialized Somerset West who can help you find something extra special.
The Afternoon
Even though Friday is a work day, everybody’s got to eat, right? During your lunch break, there are two ways you can share the love. You can either say ‘I love you’ to your gut with some deliciously healthy options, or ‘I love you’ to your tummy with some deliciously delicious options.
The deliciously healthy options: Grab something downtown at The Poké Co, SushiBox or Wild Eatery.
The deliciously delicious options: Try the summer menu at Mugg & Bean Chelsea Village or Pizza Perfect.
The Evening
The sun is going down on this special Friday, so it’s time to dress up and get out on the town! Whether you’re celebrating Galentine’s or Valentine’s, start off the evening with a drink at WYN’s Social Friday (arriving anytime from 3 pm) and then move on to dinner at Sanook Somerset whenever you’re ready.
Something Extra, Something Extreme.
So your Valentine isn’t into the traditional idea of wining and dining? Great, we’ve got a thrilling idea for you! Cape Canopy Zipline Tours has 2 Valentine’s Specials on offer:
