The CCID wishes these new retailers all the best in the Central City. We also chatted to the manager of one of them in our summer 2019-20 issue of City Views to find out more about what this venue will bring to the Central City.

Q&A WITH MEGAN KRITZINGER, OWNER OF STELLSKI COFFEE BAR
Tell us about Stellski Coffee Bar?
Named after my Staffordshire Bull Terrier Stella (also known as Stellski), it’s an espresso bar that serves its own unique blend of coffee, a variety of no-nonsense toasties and fresh, simple breakfasts. With our bright, lobster-red and dusty pink walls, a large mural of Stellski, lush greenery and feel good music blaring, it’s quite a vibe .
What sets Stellski apart? We’re redefining the hipster Cape Town coffee scene and are bringing fun, excitement and joy one coffee cup at a time. Cape Town doesn’t need another black, masculine coffee bar, but what it does need is something, bold, bright, super-fun and a little rock n roll – yup, enter Stellski.
What do you make of the Central City?
It’s fab. We love meeting so many people from different backgrounds and cultures. There’s lots of energy, and at times it can be a bit crazy, but we like that.
