💚 A Message from the Clothesline Café Team
Clothesline Café was a dream we instantly fell in love with. Even without experience, we jumped in – nervous at first, but we grew along the way. This journey has taught us so much, and we came this far only because of the love and support from our wonderful regulars and our amazing team. From our red-haired barista, to our juniors, to our recent chef who worked so hard to revive the café – every effort and every smile was noticed and truly appreciated.
We know there were days we did really well and days we fell short, but we always gave our very best. Your patience, kindness, and encouragement kept us going every single day.
A few years ago, we didn’t know much about the people of Ballarat — but now we know they have truly good hearts. You welcomed us, supported us, and made us feel at home, and we’ll never forget that.
As many of you know, the building and the café have now been sold to new owners who will bring their own fresh ideas and energy to this beloved spot. While that means our journey with Clothesline Café has come to an end, we’re deeply grateful for everything we shared together.
To our wonderful regulars who were always so supportive and kind — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thanks especially to those who stood by us through both our good times and our tough days. The little chats, the smiley faces, and those warm, genuine hearts — we will remember them forever.
And to those who may not have known about the sale until now, we’re truly sorry and hope you understand this difficult but heartfelt decision.
Though this chapter closes here, the memories, laughter, and community we built will always stay with us. 💚
With love and gratitude,
The Clothesline Café Team🙏🙏🙏🙏
