The Waterberry Coffee Shoppe - Welcome to our 'Peace of Paradise'
The Waterberry Coffee Shoppe is located in Balito on the Dolphin Coast, KwaZulu-Natal and enticed by the sweet aroma of fresh coffee and delectable cakes, scones, croissants & muffins baking in the oven, you'll find yourself welcomed by the friendly smiles from staff members & comfortable surroundings. We serve light meals, excellent cakes, coffees and more!
Visit our website & page through our delicious menu, that boasts everything from extremely generous slices of cheesecake, warm brownies, mouth-watering Italian panini stuffed with imported ham and cheese and a variety of nibbles for the kiddies, to an amazing array of wonderful beverages including fresh smoothies and juices.
Our setting is unique - a tranquil untouched piece of indigenous coastal forest with an abundance of bird life. A special place, right in the middle of the town, where small duikers are a frequent sight. Once an unused and unkept forest area belonging to the Municipality, it took us three and a half years to get rid of all the invasive plants, rubble, unused road tar, mattresses and even a couple of fridges!
The forest was stripped of all the alien vegetation that had begun to take over. It was spruced up, trimmed and tidied to reveal a very beautiful and enchanting, piece of perfection. The birds returned home to nest, the lime green tree frogs came out of hiding and the duikers even began roducing a little family... After enjoying your meal with us, get back to nature and take a gentle stroll along our beautiful winding Waterberry forest path.
We opened in May 2003. A wooden building perched on the ponds edge was lovingly constructed by Peter’s family. The forest was shaken down of the alien vegetation that had begun to take over, spruced up, trimmed and tidied to reveal a very beautiful, enchanted, piece of perfection. We began to crawl through our first season nervously seeing to our customers, creating their meals, producing their cappuccinos - never realising how popular this little dream would become. The months that followed were wonderfully busy, at times quite daunting and thoroughly enjoyable.
At the end of our first December season, the Powers that be deemed it necessary that we rethink and take stock and rest our weary bones and so just after closing on a windless, cloudy evening in January the huge Waterberry tree came crashing down over the deck, through the roof of the coffee shop. God had his hand in this one, as none of the equipment was damaged. Infact, we were talking about redesigning the deck so this gave us the nudge we needed - perfect timing...
