This Is Us

The Abrahams family consists of great bakers. Mom Maggie was a full-time nurse but always wanted to earn extra income with her baking skills. Her eldest son, Etienne, said, “Let's do something, Mom”. 

​

It all started as Friday deliveries of roosterkoeke – their family’s classic – in Ceres back in November 2016. 

​

Big dreams start small, beginning with a simple yet efficient pop-up restaurant. Brother Leolan, a mechanical engineer and sister, Yolani, a pastry chef from Stellenbosch, joined the team in 2017. Together with Dad Trevor's business skills, it was called Kole en Deeg making the main attraction their famous roosterkoek. 

​

One thing led to the next, and the pop-up became a permanent eatery in Ceres in 2018, where they received two Eat Out 500 Awards. 

​

Kole en Deeg then moved to the picturesque Tulbagh in August 2020. Two consecutive years they've been nominated KFM's Best Breakfast Spots Top 5 and have also won various Trip Advisor awards.
