1. The Milestone: 1 000 Neighbours Strong! 🚀

We officially hit the 1 000-subscriber mark this week! Thank you to every one of you for making this the fastest-growing community guide in the valley. We’ve updated our system—no more New York addresses in our email footer either! We are 100% Durbanville-based and proud of it.

2. Hidden Gem: The Kenridge Heart 🥖

If you live in Kenridge, you already know this spot, but for everyone else, it’s time to discover the Vineyard Deli. Having spent many mornings here myself, I can vouch that it is the definition of a neighbourhood treasure.

It’s part artisanal bakery, part gourmet grocer, and part community hub. Whether you're hunting for hard-to-find ingredients or just want a sit-down breakfast that feels like home, this is the place.

Pro Tip: Their freshly baked bread and Portuguese treats (hello, Pasteis de Nata!) are legendary.

Location: Kenridge Centre, Corner of Mildred Street & Tygerberg Valley Road, Kenridge.
