Hi Everyone!

I've had a few of you asking what I'm up to next, and it has taken quite a bit to figure that out.

Sadly I have decided to let go of the idea to open another cafe at this stage, I have been unable to find a location that meets all mine and your needs (because it needs to be a special kind of space).

I am pursuing other adventures though, and quite a pivot from hospitality, but something I love and enjoy just as much.

If you would like to follow my new venture, please head over to and follow me there as I will not be posting things here.

Thank you all again for your support, you are the ones who made this part of my journey possible.

Please note: I will be deactivating this account at the end of this year and will post a few reminders about my new socials before then.

Yesterday, I celebrated the journey that has been this incredible space with my predecessor and wonderful friend... we laughed, we cried, we hugged our gorgeous girl for the last time in her current state.

Today I handed in the keys.... it was all the feels, everything.... pride, sadness, joy, loss and grief... but, overwhelmingly, a sense of adventure and excitement for what comes next.

I am going to miss this beautiful space so very much. I am so excited for her renovations and repairs and how she will be after her 'glow up'. I am even more excited to see what comes next for me.... the next chapter is going to be brilliant!

For now, thank you all, so very much, for your support, compassion, and love of my business.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Today was an incredible and emotional day, I promised myself I wouldn't cry (and I still haven't, because the highs are just too beautiful to ruin with tears of sadness)

Thank you to everyone who was able to visit this last week, and the amazing crowd who made today even more special (especially the every supportive and wonderful )

Wishing you all a safe and Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year, and for me, a new year where all my next adventures await.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude and love.

1 and 1/2 days of operation to go in our gorgeous New Cemetery building!

The feels are well and truly starting to kick in and I feel both sad for the end of this chapter and excited for the new chapters to come.

Come on by and say hi and goodbye, grab your last scone and coffee or gingerbread treat and help me see out the end of this journey on a high note!

Christmas has landed at !!

Our famous house made gingerbreads, and mini biscuit boxes look as good as they taste, and our super fruity, decadent, Christmas cakes and puddings are also available in Gluten Free!

This year we've added a chocolate fruit cake into the mix and is the epitome of Christmas decadence (and you can even get a sneaky sample to try if you don't believe us)

With only 3 weekends/2 weeks of trade remaining, come on in for a last coffee, cake, brekkie or massive scone.

Announcement!

Many of you may already know, and a lot of you do not....

Our beautiful building is going to receive some long needed repairs and renovations from early next year.
Unfortunately, for this to happen, we will be closing down.

We hope to secure another venue in the new year, and many of you have your fingers and toes crossed.

Our last day of trade will be Sunday 22nd of December.

Help us celebrate the end of an era and make our last 3 weeks the best!

Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Dia De Los Mu***os is here again!

We are celebrating through to Sunday afternoon.

Bring along a photo or memento of your loved ones who have passed to place on our Offrendas , to honour and pay tribute to their memory during this beautiful celebration and commemoration of life.

We have 2 offrendas (altars) set up again this year, one upstairs and one downstairs.

Our emotional support Calavera Squishmallows are also ready and waiting for all your hugging and squishing needs.
