Winter is here and Big Elma is looking and feeling cosier than ever! Brett just picked up a few more funky and comfy chairs and Ellie spent the last hour filling old pickle jars and odd shaped vases with flowers.

This Big Elma room used to be a v**e shop, we think this extra dining area is a way better use for it 😎 It's also a really great space to have a birthday party in!

If you haven't seen the new room, pop in this weekend and have yourself a cosy brunch. See you soon!

A little recap of our 3 year Big Elma birthday party! Such a beautiful eve with our amazing team, regulars, big friends, little friends, music, boogies and CAKE! Emma made a crazy yummy Pandan & Rhubarb cake to celebrate 3 years of us.

It's been an incredible journey and we are in awe of the community that we have and that is constantly growing. We love you so much Coburg!

So excited for more years of wishing you a good morning, showcasing local artists, cooking delicious food and growing this community even more.

❤️❤️❤️ Lots of love, Ellie, Brett, Dylan, Emma, Paige, Tom, Charlotte & Yoyo ❤️❤️❤️

Sunday end of summer special - tomato tribute soup. Tomatoes, basil and olive oil. Simple, delicious. Add a soft boiled egg and call it breakfast, add a glass of crisp Pinot Grigio for Sunday lunch vibes. See you soon tomato 🍅

Birthday season! 🐟 🥳 Ellie's birthday is coming up next week and since we love birthdays, this is the perfect time for a party. A pasta party that is 😏

Lasagna, focaccia, dreamboat salad and a glass of wine - and then lemon tiramisu if you want a sweet treat.

Ellie loves crafting almost as much as she loves food, so this party wouldn't be complete without a little crafting. Thinking pasta necklaces, pimp your own party hat... FUN!

Psst. Emma may or may not be baking an incredible birthday cake too 👀

Send us a message if you'd like to come! ❤️ 🥳
