No rest for the wicked!

The newest inmate is serving up coffee and the usual banter at OBG.

Gary is on deck all weekend, Fri-Sun 9-3. Pop in and say hi if you’re in town ☺️. You’ll make his day x

Gazza, Gaz, Gary… has officially joined the Old Beechworth Gaol café team!

Well known in for brewing top-notch coffee at the Guard Cafe, Gary is now bringing his talents to OBG.

No escaping this one—it’s a life sentence! ⛓️

Come in say g’day to Gaz!

A little something that our beautiful Yackandandah community has organised for us as we close the doors to the Guard for one last time.

Please come along so we can say thank you to all our amazing customers and reassure you that we’re actually not going anywhere too far!!!

After 2.5 wonderful years, it’s time for us to say goodbye to The Guard. Our last day of trade will be Friday the 28th of February.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us—whether you popped in for a quick coffee, stayed for a chat, or made us part of your daily routine. It has been an absolute joy to serve this community, and we cherish the friendships, conversations, and memories we’ve made along the way.

While this Guard chapter is closing for us, (if anyone is interested in writing the next Guard chapter, please come and say hi…) it’s not really goodbye. We’re not leaving the region or the Yack based community which we feel very grateful to be a part of. You will still see us around.

Come grab a coffee before the 28th, we’d love to see you.

Gary & Samm

Customer Spotlight shines brightly on the most beautifully gentle natured, long-leggy girl F***y this morning 🥰

F***y prefers her biscuits in bulk. Her humans love their caffeine in fine china and “magic”.

We love your visits F***y 🫶🐶🐾🦴🐾🐶🫶
