Three amazing years. One unforgettable journey.
What started with a simple idea—Googling what goes into a kitchen and learning how to make a decent flat white—turned into a thriving café, a place of connection, and ‘daily happy’ here in the Macleay.
From those first nervous steps to employing up to 10 local legends over the years, we’ve built something we’re incredibly proud of. But we didn’t do it alone—we did it with you. Our incredible community has supported us from day one, and for that, we’re beyond grateful.
The big news? While we’re hanging up our aprons, the café isn’t going anywhere! We’re thrilled to share that a local, community-minded, awesome family are taking over and breathing new life into our much-loved little spot.
Say hello to ‘Birdie & Basil on the Green’ - same great location, same welcoming vibes, with a new name and new energy.
Make sure to follow them on their socials and keep showing your support! Birdie & Basil on the Green
Open Wednesday to Sunday | 7am–2pm
Don’t worry—you haven’t seen the last of us! We will still continue our adventures with Montem Bike Tours. If you’re not following us yet, jump on our socials and come along for the ride—literally! 😆
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🙏 💛
