MELISSAS
Coffee Shop in Stellenbosch

Beautiful product combinations to suit every occasion and budget. We’re always looking to partner with new distributors, agents or retailers who can help us grow our distribution both locally and internationally. If you’re interested in stocking or distributing Melissa’s Food, Home or Hospitality ranges, we’d love to hear from you. The wonderful thing about pears is they are equally delicious in both savoury and sweet dishes and are so incredibly versatile. This salad is superb, with a delicious crunch and a tangy twist from our Preserved Lemons. The mild, sweet anise flavor from the fennel adds a whole new dimension and perfectly complements the dish. Moving into the cooler months, it’s a brilliant way to end off a dinner party or family supper. This crumble is made with our Pears in Red Wine Sauce and a packet of Melissa’s Fruit & Nut Biscotti which is packed with nuts and fruit. Buy a Pavlova nest from Melissa’s, a jar of Bottled Pairs, a few nuts and follow our simple recipe. The homemade caramel takes a little time to make but is so worth it and adds a beautiful CRUNCH to the dish. This Summer, entertaining should be simple and delicious. Whether it’s breakfast before the beach, lunch for loads of people or a quick family supper, my favorite products make this possible. Simply pick up a box and follow the on-pack instructions and the delicious freshly-baked aromas will have your family and friends swarming to the kitchen. We’ve outlined the steps below to show you just how easy it really is. Birthday parties, kitchen teas, school bake sales and afternoon treats are a stress-free, fuss-free scrumptious affair with Melissa’s exclusive new baking kit range. It is always popular with kids, they love to get involved cooking them over the fire, and it is fun finding the perfect sticks to cook while enjoying time outside. To me a braai is more than just a means to cook food. It symbolizes our South African heritage, brings us together, gets us exploring our beautiful outdoors and provides a central point for storytelling, laughing and making lasting memories. The history of tea is long and complex, spreading across cultures over thousands of years. Today, a cup of tea has become as ubiquitous as a grain of sugar and the labour, skill and craft behind it is often forgotten in our modern world. Our handmade cordials are my best this summer, making the perfect summer’s drink and they’ve become my summer gift to give. The range has three fantastic flavours: Lemon, Naartjie and Raspberry & Apple and when mixed with still or sparkling water and a generous amount of ice they make the most refreshing drinks. Use the cordials for mixing cocktails where cordials are called for or simply add a dash of vodka or gin for a delicious summer’s evening drink!
