Liza
Inquisitive Yenta
My Deli
Randburg
Description
We stumbled on this fresh little gem early on a Sunday morning. With three unruly doggos in tow and desperate need of a caffeine fix. Nats was so gracious in welcoming both us and the pups into her beautiful new spot. These little independent joints are so crucial for ensuring a diverse restaurant industry in the area. It’s a daunting task for entrepreneurs to go against franchise culture in Joburg. But the end result is something truly special.

Withdogs Events
Joburg
Description
From Chocolate pairing to Macrame workshops. It's an indisputable fact, all events are infinitely better “withdogs”. Beudene has been hosting creative events for years. But in 2020 she got tired of leaving her beloved pooches at home so decided to kick-start @withdogs.co.za. Here having a furry companion is not only allowed but encouraged.
