I'm forever hunting unique local coffee shops so I was super-chuffed to hear of Bean Hunters at Bunny Zone, a mere two kilometers from home.
Bean Hunters has a deck overlooking the Bunny Zone, and a small seating area inside if the weather is miserable.
Their cappuccinos are very good, and if Moms or Dads feel like being kids, they can order one of Bean Hunters' award-winning milkshakes!
I visited twice in the past two weeks, both occasions for breakfast. A friend and I sat outside on my first visit, on a glorious, sunny day.
I ordered a traditional Sunrise breakfast, while my friend enjoyed a bowl of scrumptious homemade Granola, filled with toasted nuts and seeds, and double-thick Greek-style yogurt.
Second-time around, the weather was a tad chilly when I took a regular guest, so we sat inside. A retired lady who went back to university, studying online, and books with us when it's time to write exams; a remarkable woman who has become a special part of Lily's Cottage!
Another beautiful Capuccino with a wafer-thin crispy heart-shaped biscuit.
Right next door to the coffee shop is HuntZone, an outdoor equipment and paintball store. They also sell bird and small animals' food, naturally bunny food so the kids can get up close and personal with the bunnies.
A real Zebra crossing on this quiet cul-de-sac takes one to the Bunny Zone, a truly unique petting zoo with bunnies, an old tortoise, guinea pigs, and chickens.
The Bunny Zone once was a neglected piece of municipal land with a stream running through it. It was 'adopted' in a project called Adopt-A-Spot and turned into a little haven for kids with free interactive fun activities and playgrounds.
The petting zoo.
Hunt Zone, the parent company of Bean Hunters and Bunny Zone, offers many other activities, catering to all ages -
self-defense classes, animal viewings, shooting range experiences, falconry shows, camps and so much more for the whole family.
They also have outreach programs, like an upcoming Blood drive for the SA National Blood Bank.
Bean Hunters for sure is a very different kind of coffee shop, with great coffee, food, and friendly service!
Both the indoor and outdoor areas appealed, but I must say, if the sun is out, I for sure prefer sitting outdoors on the deck, listening to the sound of little ones enjoying the petting zoo and the playground!

Ah so lovely seeing you around here <3 That looks like a beautiful place (with yummy snacks, too - those nuts look delicious xD). Must be a great place for little ones, too - and not so little ones. I'd probably spend the whole time at the bunny spot!
You're right @honeydue, it's a lovely place for big and small kids😉
It's lovely being here, thank you to everyone in Cinnamon Cup Coffee <3
What a nice place, I would gladly sit there with you, for breakfast or just for a cup of coffee. And that zebra on the road, haha, what an idea. Love it 😍
Hi @mipiano, lovely seeing you. I would have kept a seat for you if I knew you wanted to join us😉 Who knows, sometime in the future one could be transported all the way across the world in split seconds🙃
That zebra crossing is such a great idea.
I hope you're settled into your new home now🫠
Paintball, coffee, and a petting zoo are a peculiar combination. It's like a smaller version of one of those Japanese corporations. "Oh, yes, we make HVAC systems and car parts and ships," or, "we build musical instruments and motorcycles."
Hi @jacobtothe, it is rather an odd combination, but at least the coffee shop is great for parents while the kids feed the bunnies.
Hello my dear friend @lizelle , looks like you had fun at that amazing coffee shop. Haven't found one here in Umhlanga yet, I'm sure there must be quite a few a long the beach promenade....a lot of restaurants though and water holes Lol.
Thanks for sharing and have an amazing day.
Thank you my friend, it's a lovely place, and so close to home, miss you guys!
Miss you stacks too, we'll get together again soon for sure.
Take care my friend.
A beautiful place to spend time, I see there is something to entertain the whole family. The food looks very delicious and nutritious.
Thanks for sharing your coffee experience.☕
Excellent day.
It is a nice family venue with good food, and very good coffee.
Thank you for the nice feedback @rinconpoetico7
What a lovely place! It's totally different from what you can find in my country, which is not surprizing.
It was such a fun find, something for the whole family!
I hope you're keeping well, @erikah🫠
Thank you my dear Lizelle, I'm doing ok.
How are you doing darling? Have you managed to get your balance back? 😘🤗
Dear @erikah, it really gets easier. But I just start thinking I'm ok, then the most stupid thing hits me from nowhere.
But, that's how it will be.
Thankfully the balance is back most of the time.
Thank you for your caring message ❤️
