Famously known as the ‘pink cafe’, Goddess Cafe which is situated in the heart of Waterkloof and Brooklyn Pretoria, has revived the concept of a roadhouse due to coronavirus.
Roadhouses were very popular in the past decades when it comes to providing food and for people to lodge. At a later stage, roadhouses started serving food to people right in their car, which is what the Goddess Cafe is now doing.

In an interview on The Money Show on Radio 702 with host Bruce Whitfield this week, owner of the restaurant, Anelda Martin said that they have a restaurant and a coffee shop and they are hanging in there trying to make things work. So she came up with the idea of a roadhouse - meaning that everybody can sit in their cars and come as a family, get their trays on the side of their windows and enjoy a restaurant experience.
“We are trying very hard to bring experience from within into the car. I remember going as a kid and it was always a novel experience, always a feel good. So considering where we are now with Covid-19 I don't think people would go anywhere now for a treat - and a lot of people I think are dying to bring their kids for nostalgic reasons,” said Martin.
