Essence is a place that tastes and fells like home. Essence started in Pietermaritzburg and proved to be so popular that soon people were asking for a Hillcrest branch. The vision for Essence was to create a nurturing place with a relaxed ambiance partnered with comfort, good food and drinks. Basically the perfect environment to relax on a date, business meeting or casual meal with the family. In 2017 Essence expanded into Hillcrest with a store in Hillcrest corner.
