My comment:

As above for tea, but 'beskuit' is more traditional with coffee (rusks rather than biscuits) i.e. :"Koffietyd, gaan haal die beskuit" He'll be bowled over that you know the difference!

My comment:

Literal translation: Teatime. Go fetch the biscuits.
It is more common to say 'gaan haal' than ' gaan kry' (go get).
