Nu Café in Sea Point is quickly becoming a favourite for health junkies and locals and tourists looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot. The who’s who of Sea Point can be seen enjoying a smoothie and a salad at Nu Café in the morning and the business crowd rush in for lunch during the weeks. On weekends, Nu Café is busy, but more relaxed as you’ll have more time to try some more of their interesting dishes. The great thing about Nu is that the food is consistent. It’s an ‘order at the counter and be served at your table’ kind of place and it’s very efficient for when you’re in a hurry or hate the traditional vibe of a restaurant. I did have to wait about 40 minutes for my food, which was a little disappointing, but it was truly worth the wait! Just make sure you have time if it’s busy!

Not only do they do smoothies, but they do blends and 100% juices too. I tried the Alkalise Green smoothie with spinach, apple, lemon, green superfood powder. Nu Café smoothies are a meal’s worth of nutrients in a cup and they are always tasty. You can choose one to fit how you’re feeling and what you’re in the mood for and even add a booster to amp things up.

For breakfast, I had the Breakfast Wrap which you can also get as a salad. The wrap included poached eggs, rocket, avo, mozzarella and sautéed rosa tomatoes. It’s as good as it sounds and something you definitely won’t feel guilty about later. My wrap was fresh and made with great produce. What a health-kick!

I also tried the Protein Flapjacks for breakfast which is a real winner on their menu. It’s made with Blueberry Whey Protein Powder and topped with banana, walnuts and honey. This is one giant flapjack that’s actually pretty healthy for you and makes for a wonderful breakfast or after gym treat.
