Hand-Braided South African Koeksisters Infused with Botanical Syrup
The Classic Heritage Treat, Reimagined with Kindness. Our Golden Twists are a true labor of love from our Montana kitchen! We’ve taken the iconic South African koeksister and infused it with plant-based compassion. Each piece is meticulously hand-braided and fried until perfectly crisp, then immediately plunged into our signature ice-cold botanical syrup. It’s the traditional "snap" and syrupy burst you love, crafted entirely without animal products.
Why they’re a Specialty Favorite in Pretoria:
Botanical Syrup Infusion: Our signature syrup isn't just sweet; it’s a fragrant blend of fresh lemon, warming cinnamon, and aromatic cardamom, providing a sophisticated depth of flavor.
The Perfect "Snap": We’ve mastered the art of the plant-based braid to ensure every twist is golden and crisp on the outside while remaining deliciously syrupy on the inside.
100% Vegan & Compassionate: Made with zero dairy or eggs, proving that our beloved South African traditions can be shared with everyone while protecting the planet.
Specialty Gluten-Free Options: Looking for gluten-free koeksisters in Pretoria? We offer a specialized GF flour blend so no one has to miss out on this heritage delight.
Custom Fat & Sugar Choices: Choose between Traditional Brown Sugar or Coconut Sugar, and select your preference of Plant Butter or Coconut Oil for the perfect fry.
Baker's Tip: For the ultimate experience, keep your Golden Twists in the fridge until the very moment you serve them. The contrast between the ice-cold syrup and a warm cup of coffee is pure South African magic!
