🌈 LAST WEEK FOR HOT ROASTS!
With the weather turning more summery, this will be our final week of hot roasts for the season.

Keep an eye out — we’ve got some new goodies rolling out over the next few weeks to take their place. Fresh, fun, and perfect for the warmer days ahead.

Thanks for all the roast love, Waimate. Big things (and tasty things) are coming…
And don’t worry — the roasts will be back once the colder months return.

Annabel’s official last day 💛

Unfortunately she’s been hit with that nasty flu that’s going around, so we don’t get to give her the big send‑off she deserves. But we still want to celebrate her, because honestly… she’s been an absolute legend.

Nothing was ever a problem. She stepped up as 2IC and became my rock — always steady, always reliable, always giving things 110%. And on top of all that, she’s been a bloody good friend.

Always laughing. Always doing something silly that made the whole team crack up. That’s the stuff we’re really going to miss.

Annabel, thank you for everything you’ve done for us here at Rainbow Dairy & Café. We wish you all the very best for your next journey. Go smash it, We know you will be great.

She’s alive… and she’s caffeinating
Our coffee machine is fixed and steaming beautifully again today.
Flat whites, lattes, long blacks — they’re all back on the menu.
Pop in and warm up with us.

Uh‑oh… the coffee machine needs a nap!
Our trusty machine has decided today is a rest day, so hot coffees are off the menu for today.
Don’t worry — we’ve still got iced drinks, cabinet treats, hot food and smiles ready for you.
Thanks for understanding while we give it some TLC.
