This is what we love ✨

A table of friends, a long lunch and the kind of catch-up that stretches well past coffee. Only Specials has always been about more than the food, it’s about the laughter that carries across the garden, the stories swapped over a shared plate and the “just one more” cup of coffee. This is where we all meet 🌿

Happy Heritage Day from us at Only Specials! Today we celebrate everything that makes South Africa the beautiful, layered, wonderfully diverse country it is. The languages, the food, the music, the stories and the people who bring it all to life.

It’s a day close to our hearts because this is exactly what Only Specials is built on: a place where we all meet 🇿🇦

We are OPEN today, serving South African classics like Bobotie and Malva Pudding. Come and celebrate with us! ✨

Just in time for some spring planting! Our Seedshaker tubes have landed at Only Specials - think wildflowers mix, bird mix, bee mix and butterfly mix, each one packed with 20 different flowers for your garden. They’re easy to scatter and beautiful to watch grow 🌸

The Harvest Table may be our new favourite little corner of Only Specials ✨

It's where homemade meets handmade and every addition tells a story. Leafy plants from Lloyd & Co, freshly baked sourdough and breads from Daan's Bakery, sweet treats and cakes from La Pâtisserie, homemade jams and preserves and a selection of gifts to treat those you love. Come and have a look the next time you're here 🌿
