Step inside The Daily Bagel, soak up the aroma of a million different flavours of breads, bagels, croissants and muffins, mingled with cheeses, chocolate and who knows what else. It’s seductive – ask those who’re there at 6am as the doors open, for everything hot, heavenly, or healthy. Add to the edibles, that scent of a myriad coffees from Seattle Coffee next door, and you’ve come to the right place.

​

Brothers-in-law Blaike Terblanche and Warren Broad are well-known co-owners of steaming hot brand, Seattle Coffee, KZN. More like brothers than in-laws, says Blaike, they have very different skill sets, but connect like a snug handshake. Blaike describes himself as the pragmatic numbers man, Warren the passionate, creative one with flair, and together they’ve grown the Seattle brand in KZN.So much so, the only way to guarantee a consistently superior food product offering in the Seattle outlets, was to do it themselves. They’re really fussy like that.

​

They decided to establish their own fully fledged central kitchen alongside Seattle in Mount Edgecombe, and simultaneously, create an entirely unique food brand and outlet in the on-site shop-front space. Something different, something independent.
