A little insight - times are tough all round. We don't charge a weekend surcharge but many cafes do.

We are in this for the love of our team and community, and truly appreciate the amazing support we get 🫶❤️🌿

Ever wondered why your weekend breakfast or public holiday coffee comes with a surcharge?

From 1 July, the minimum award wage increases by http://4.75 per cent. Because of penalty rates, it means that on a public holiday, a dishwasher or kitchen hand will be making over $78 an hour.

While we all want everyone to earn a fair wage, the reality for our local, independent cafes is that margins have completely vanished. On average, cafes are now spending up to 50 per cent of every single dollar they take in just to cover staff wages. When you add in rent, doubling electricity bills, insurance, and the cost of ingredients, a cafe can serve 100 coffees and walk away with just $35 in profit.

Our local cafe owners aren't implementing surcharges to get rich. They are doing it just to cover costs so they don't have to close their doors for good. Next time you head out for a brew, let's show some love to the local venues working hard to keep our communities vibrant!

The Creative Samford Art Trial is kicking off the first weekend in June. We have the beautiful art trail guides available in the cafe to pick up so you can plan your arty adventures 💖🌿

Our region boasts many great spots to eat and drink during the Arts Trail, but if you're after an excellent coffee, we can highly recommend The Blended Collective, 1 Warra Lane in Cashmere.

As the Easter weekend is upon us, we know it can be very exciting for some but not so for others.

We are normally here seven days a week for you to drop in and relax, however this Easter long weekend we'll only be open on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, 6am-2pm. Remember, kitchen closes at 1pm.

Much love from us to you 🫶❤️🌿
