Where will we be?? Out enjoying life’s many adventures, exploring, enjoying lunch dates, roadtrips, beach dates, playing cards and really appreciating our time with family.

In our spare time, you will also find us located at 24 George street (just a few doors down) where we will be making school & corporate lunchboxes as well as limited catering 💗

We will also be making our delightful cookie pies and mini cookie pies in the near future!

Be sure to get along next Wednesday and meet Kristen and the team - I know she is super excited to open her own little cafe and I have told her we have the very best customers around ☕️ 🍰 🙏💗
