Monrose Opening

About 40 people gathered at the new Monrose Coffee Shoppe in Aberdeen last Thursday evening for the official opening. Guests, many of whom had dressed in fifties’ style, were not disappointed, and the décor and general ambience were much admired. Host Jan-Hendrik Jordaan, assisted by his friendly staff, had everything well under control, providing delicious platters of both savoury and sweet treats. Entertainment was provided by the talented Eward and Martie Swanepoel, with Eward’s melodious guitar work and their harmonizing voices having many guests humming along.

This will provide a welcome addition to the Aberdeen scene, and many guests were so keen that they were already promising to sample the breakfasts the very next day!
