Welcome to my very own page! Growing up I always dreamt of becoming a TV Presenter. Now here I am, building my very own channel, right here, one post and one reel at a time.

The beans ran dry! Never fear, there’s still a few days left of the year 😝 There still a few bits and pieces left from the garage sale and stock in the fridge and freezer I’ll keep at 50% off till gone. Keep an eye on our page and I’ll post up when I’ll be open again next week/new year or PM if you’d like to book a time to view. I’m also going to do a batch of shortbread next week if you would like one last chance to savour! $10 per dozen. Last day for orders will be Wednesday with collection Friday/Saturday 22/23 Dec.

I also want to make note and shout out to the community, your support and encouragement has been truly unwavering. My decision to close was purely from an economic standpoint and after an insane last 4 years, all and any risk is carefully considered. The unexpected closure or the boat ramp and the poor weather have been significant factors but proportionate to multiple others. For now I am taking my time to wrap it up, focus on my family and saying my see ya arounds 🥰

Well after some considerable thought, I have come to the decision to close the cafe and cease trading. Today I will be closed as I work though some of the logistics. The cafe will continue to operate until 21st Dec Tue-Fri with hours tbc or until the beans run dry. This is an informed decision based on multiple contributing factors. Thank you for your support and understanding at this time ✨

Closed again today!! Just to be safe, we’ve had kindy germies come home so we’re going to keep the cafe closed and not risk passing on to the community. Apologies for the inconvenience! Hopefully see you again tomorrow ☺️

Sorry we missed you today! We were learning all about the origins of our beans, brew ratios, pouring milk and cleaning and maintaining the machines at Atomic Coffee Roasters! The girls did really well and I can’t wait for them all to show off their newly acquired skills ☕️

Tomorrow Craig Martin - Harcourts tells me that he will be putting on another round of free coffees up to $100 in value for the community!! What a delightful treat to kick start our week… you know the drill! From 10am just come into the cafe and say can I please have a free coffee on Craig and Shelza Sharma-Harcourts New Age of Harcourts NewAge 🤩 Looking forward to seeing you both again!
