Opening in July 2011, our cafe has lead the way with refreshing monthly menus, championing the use of local + Victorian seasonal ingredients. Our direct trade coffee is roasted in Melbourne by the talented team at Coffee Supreme and our providore is stocked with Victorian produce and house-made goodies. Come along and you will enjoy anything from waffles, eggs and sides, hearty salads, braises, tasty burgers and fresh baguettes. Additionally, the cafe boasts a separate vegan menu and easily provides for dietary requirements. We endeavour to operate as ethically and sustainably as possible and will continue to implement ways to reduce our impact on the environment. Some initiatives include using biodegradable takeaway coffee cups and lids, sustainable light globes and a Grease Guardian grease trap. In our rear courtyard we also collect organic waste which customers collect to feed their chooks or turn into compost.
