(Kyle Fraser; Cooks Gasela and Darryl Hofmann)A night market boasting a fabulous selection of whole food; deli items; smooth jazz - and brilliant coffee – will be on offer at the third Colombo Night Market in the spacious Colombo Tea and Coffee warehouse in Gale Street on February 3.
Glenwood Community Forum member and market convenor Darryl Hofmann intends to offer a series of inspired gourmet-events in interesting places in and around the Glenwood area. After visiting the beautiful airy Colombo warehouse and coffee roasting studio, Hofmann was inspired to use the venue to host a night market to allow the public to visit the beautiful historic space. Colombo has been brewing fine coffee for almost a century - the aroma and presence of roasting coffee permeates through the building.
Hofmann has carefully chosen stall holders which will create a deli-vibe – allowing visitors to purchase produce from the stalls, and assemble a meal, indoor picnic style. Included in the stallholders mix is organic meats; oyster farmers; organic pizzas; artisan breads; fresh olives; marinated feta cheese; fresh herbs; and fresh fruit and veg. There will be plenty of coffee to taste, as well as boutique wines, cocktails, salon beers and beer from micro-breweries.
Colombo Fine Beverage marketing director, Kyle Fraser, is hugely excited about the concept and is eager to open up his venue so the public can explore and learn more about the coffee roasting process and spend a relaxing evening in his beautiful space.
To add ambiance to the evening will be “U C” – a funky jazz band under the baton of trombonist / drummer Xolani Hlongwa featuring Cooks Gasela on sax. Hlongwa teaches music at Umlazi Com Tech, and the band will feature some of his most promising students.
The Colombo Whole Food Night Market runs from 18h00 until 22h00 on February 3 at 369 Gale Street. More information from Yossis on 031 201 0090.
