The Robot Bun Factory

Lesley and I have something to share with everyone and it’s one of the main reasons why we’ve been a little quiet on our pages. So, in a little less than two months time, we will be welcoming into the world, our baby boy! We couldn’t be happier and more excited to begin this whole new chapter.
We can’t wait to meet the little guy❤️

Hi guys
We posted this late because we were hoping that I would bounce back, but I got food poison yesterday and haven’t been well. We are really disappointed that we have to make this call that we won’t be at the market this time. Hope everyone still comes to Bellevue Cottage and support the local community! 🤖

Hello everyone!!

It’s been a little while since our last post and it’s a funny thing when you think you’re “over something” or that you think you’ve got (through this time/ reflection) “your power” back only to realise that you’re still in this “push pull” state and still, it’s taken you a little under 6 months to gather yourself and create another “silly” drawing. But what I’ve found in the process of doing this, is art really does have real power and it’s been one of the most vital, daily things that I’ve needed to do through losing the cafe, to get to the other side. And in memory of that, this new design is more of a “fun” and “celebratory” picture and I think captures the spirit of what made our Robot Bun Factory special🤖.
So Larrece the lovely owner from the beautiful Bellevue Cottage was kind enough to offer an invite to be apart of the “The Cottage Community Market”! So Lesley and myself are extra excited and will be there from 8am -12pm next Sunday 28/6. Please feel free to come down and say hello, we would love to see you!👋
And one last thing, for all the people that have dm and asked to purchase the t-shirts online, I’m so happy to say that over the coming days we will also have this available too! We will let everyone know when it’s live!
It goes without saying but we are so grateful and incredibly humbled by everyone’s continuing support, thoughts and kind words.
Thank you 🙏🤖💕

So, it’s almost a year and a half now since we lost Robot Bun Factory and over night our life changed. From everything that the experience threw at us, we (Lesley and myself) never got a chance to say goodbye or better yet, hello! 👋 And from early November of 2024 the idea of designing or building something in appreciation of the cafe started to take form and this journey/ project has been the therapy I needed to get through one of the hardest periods of my life.

We’re really proud to say that it’s finally ready and what I’ve called the “Ollie Tee” has been solely designed, screen printed and made with love and care. So we’re finally able to turn losing the cafe, to now celebrating, honouring and to say thank you to the Midland community that made Robot Bun Factory as special as it was and we couldn’t have done this without Larrece the owner of Bellevue Cottage allowing this very opportunity. We have been offered a space this Friday and Saturday only in her beautiful cafe to reconnect with our customers once again. So please, feel free and come down to Bellevue cottage, grab a coffee and say hello, we’re really excited and looking forward to seeing you then!

Hi there guys,
Firstly, we’d like to say thank you to everyone that has supported and made Robot Bun Factory what it was. From day one, you made us feel welcomed, supported and valued and we did whatever we could to reflect that back to anyone that opened the doors and entered our little robot world, so thank you very much. It was a fun and special place, but to Lesley and I, it was our home away from home.

We know that it’s been a long time since we’ve last posted and for that an apology is needed. It’s been very hard to jump on social media and give an update, where unfortunately in reality there hasn’t really been one. To say the last year has been difficult, that’s definitely an understatement and yet somehow here we are a year later.

As the current state of building resides, a lot has happened but nothing really has happened. There’s no real timeline for a projected date to which the building will be ready again for occupancy. Although all tenants (including us) have vacated and removed all contents, time seems to have stood still there. Lesley and I had to come to the realisation and make some even more difficult decisions and face the hard fact that we weren’t able to go back there. That being said, I’d still like to think though, that in the future, that the Robot Bun Factory would be able to make a come back, my fingers are crossed. So in the meantime, we are working on something pretty special that I hope reflects a little of the heart that was the cafe, I really hope you guys will like and hoping it’ll be ready soon. All updates will be revealed over the next coming days.

Thank you again for the kind words, the encouraging msgs, support and the patience that was shown to Lesley and I over this period, you have made it easier for us to get through it. To our amazing team, thank you for making Robot Bun Factory what it was, in no way could we have done it without you. And anyone that walked into our little robot world, thank you.
