❤️ A LITTLE UPDATE FROM THE STICKS & GRINDS CREW

We know things have looked a little different around here lately.

The hours have been shorter, social media has been quieter, there’s been plenty of sorting and clearing happening behind the scenes, and some days we’ve simply had to call it earlier than we normally would.

The truth is, our little family is carrying quite a bit behind the scenes at the moment.

None of it is something we intend to discuss publicly. Some things simply belong within a family, and this is one of those times.

So for a little while longer, we’re giving ourselves permission to take each day as it comes.

Some days we'll manage a full run.
Some days it'll be a half day.
And occasionally we might decide we've done enough for one day and head home to look after our people.

The coffees will still flow whenever those doors are open. ☕️
Bossman will still find something to complain about. 😂
And the usual Sticks & Grinds programming will return when we're ready.

For everyone who has continued popping in, checking on us and supporting this wonderfully dysfunctional little family of ours — thank you.

We don't need questions or answers right now.

Just a little patience while we look after each other. ❤️

Sometimes family has to come before business.

Right now, that's exactly where we're at.

☕️ OKAY CREW — THAT’S US FOR TODAY

After looking after our morning regulars, we’ve made the call to close up for the remainder of today due to circumstances beyond our control.

Nothing dramatic to report from the offices 😂 — it’s simply one of those days where the sensible option is to call it, use the opportunity to get a few things done that we need to get done, and reset ready for tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who popped in and grabbed their morning fix. ❤️

All going to plan, we’re aiming to be back in our regular time zone from 7AM tomorrow morning, coffee machine fired up and ready to roll. ☕️

Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches — and after the last few weeks, we’re getting pretty bloody good at that. 😂

See you tomorrow, crew.

☕ LAST ORDERS, LEGENDS! ☕

We’re heading into last orders for today so we can get our normal Monday routines back into play and make sure today’s unexpected change of plans doesn’t leave us chasing our tails for the rest of the week. 😂

Considering we weren’t actually planning on opening today, we reckon we’ve done alright — but now it’s time to reset, restock, clean, prep and get ourselves properly lined up for the week ahead.

There has, however, been one special request before we disappear…

🍒 Bossman’s Cherry Slice.

Apparently it’s been missed, so Bossman has received his instructions 😂 — it’ll be assembled this afternoon, given its proper time to set and be ready and waiting tomorrow morning.

Thanks for rolling with our very improvised Monday, crew. ❤️

Back tomorrow, properly reset and ready to tackle the week — with coffee flowing and Bossman’s Cherry Slice back in the cabinet. ☕🍒

☕ WELL… CHANGE OF PLANS — WE’RE OPEN! 😂

Today was supposed to be our mental health day, maintenance day, restocking day, recovery-from-the-weekend day AND Monday all rolled into one.

Basically… the ultimate go-easy day. 😴

But due to circumstances beyond our control, plans have changed — and there was one thought we simply couldn’t get past:

We cannot have NO COFFEE on a Monday morning. ☕😳

That just feels irresponsible. 😂

So… THE DOORS ARE OPEN!

Please bear with us today while we shuffle a few things around, restock on the run and operate a little more casually than usual. After a very busy weekend, today was deliberately meant to be our chance to catch our breath behind the scenes.

But hey…

We can do this. It’s okay. ❤️

Coffee machine is ON.
Bossman is upright.
Monday has officially been rescued. ☕😂

Come say hello — Sticks & Grinds is OPEN! 🙌

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of Jackie’s dad, Danny Siggins.

And while today will always carry sadness, it also explains something that has been sitting in plain sight since the beginning — our logo.

It was never simply a design.

It represents rebirth.

It represents the understanding that grief is completely normal. It is necessary. When you lose someone you love, there is no timetable for it and there is certainly no pretending that life simply goes back to the way it was.

Because it doesn’t.

But eventually, somehow, life has to continue.

You carry the memories.
You carry the stories.
You carry the lessons, the laughs and sometimes the tears.

And then you build again.

That is what our logo represents.

Something new growing from something that changed our family forever. A reminder that moving forward doesn't mean leaving somebody behind.

Quite the opposite.

Their memory comes with you.

So today we remember Danny.

Not by pretending the sadness isn't there, but by recognising everything that has grown around it since.

The logo of Sticks & Grinds represents that rebirth — life continuing, family continuing, memories continuing.

And perhaps that's the greatest tribute we can give the people we've lost.

Keep living. Keep building. And take them with us.

For Danny. ❤️

Updated -

Okay, here's the deal...

After everything that's unfolded over the past few weeks, the ongoing social media attacks, family health, and the need to finalise statements and other important matters, we've made the decision to continue stepping aside while we reassess every opportunity in front of us.

The overwhelming consensus within the crew is simple: right now our priority is making sure the processes that are underway are given the time and space they deserve. One thing is non-negotiable—we will not be subjecting the affected crew member to any further distress while those processes continue.

Over the coming days, a substantial amount of screenshots and other material will also be provided for legal review. We've seen people confidently claim that defamation only applies when something isn't factual. That's a discussion for the appropriate people to have. What we will say is this: much of what has been said publicly bears little resemblance to what actually occurred, and we'll allow the proper processes to deal with that rather than trying the matter on Facebook.

For the better part of two and a half years we've turned up every single day with our heads held high. What we won't accept is seeing our family or our crew become targets of ongoing online abuse.

Bossman's first responsibility has always been his family and his crew. Until the current processes have run their course—which, from our understanding, may not be far away—that remains exactly where our focus will stay.

The last four weeks have also given us something else to think about. Between the constant disruption and the overwhelming support coming from other communities, our family reunion wasn't just about catching up—it became a series of honest conversations about what the future could look like.

Please don't mistake our silence for weakness. We're simply choosing to deal with things properly.

Have no doubt about one thing: this family will be okay. Sticks & Grinds will always land on its feet. The only question we're asking ourselves now is what does the next chapter look like?

Phase 3 of the Family Reunion is officially underway! ❤️🍕

A huge thank you to the team at Townsville Pizzeria Bar & Grill for hosting what has quickly become the meeting of all meetings. Great food, fantastic service, and another reminder of why supporting local family businesses matters.

With so many family members finally back together, there’s plenty to discuss, plenty to laugh about, and a whole lot of exciting conversations about what comes next.

Thanks again for looking after us tonight—we’ll definitely be back.

❤️ Supporting local, one family business at a time.

Okay, here's the deal...

A few weeks ago, one of our crew members was subjected to a serious incident outside the café.
Out of respect for everyone involved, and because the matter is now with police, we won't be discussing the details publicly.

What we can say is that despite some of the stories floating around, no cash registers or chairs were harmed at any time. 😏

What we will say is this: no one has the right to intimidate, harass or antagonise our team. If that behaviour continues, it will be documented, reported and dealt with through the appropriate channels every single time.

Yesterday, those responsible found out that the intimidation stops here. They will be held to account each and every time.

Say what you will about Bossman, but one thing will never change—he will continue to take the slings and arrows for his crew.

Looking after the people who look after this café isn't negotiable.

And a special thank you to Caitlin, who stepped up yesterday and helped put a stop to behaviour that had gone on for far too long. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't the easiest thing to do, but it still has to be done.

Now it's time to get back to what matters most: serving our community, looking after each other, and moving forward.

As for this week, we'll continue operating on reduced hours while we finish off our long-awaited family reunion. And for anyone wondering... please know we aren't wrecking our brand new cash register for NOBODY. 😉

Phase 2…

Funny how a few days with family can change your perspective.

We’ve laughed.

We’ve talked.

We’ve reflected.

We’ve imagined what comes next.

No announcements today.

Just creating memories… and having a few conversations that might shape the future.

Closed Today – Back Tomorrow ☕❤️

After a massive weekend, we're taking today to recharge and spend some quality time with family we rarely get to see, especially our grandson. Those moments are pretty special, and we're making the most of every one of them.

Being Tuesday, it's traditionally our quieter day, so it made sense to hit pause for just one day before getting back into it.

We had planned to release the next instalment of From the Offices, but with a number of important family meetings happening this week, we'd rather wait until those conversations have taken place so we can share the next update properly.

So, nice and simple...

Sticks & Grinds is closed today (Tuesday), and we'll be back from 7:00am tomorrow morning, ready to fire the coffee machine back up and show the family exactly what we do best.

See you bright and early tomorrow! ☕😎
