Sunday plans? ☕🍰

Slow down for a little while, grab your favourite person and settle in for coffee, cake and good conversation. The world can wait… at least until the last crumb disappears.

First week as Gourmet Cakes & Coffee and what a delicious little whirlwind it has been. ☕🍰

It has been exciting, fun, busy and just a tiny bit chaotic in the best possible way. We have loved welcoming everyone in, seeing familiar faces, meeting so many new customers and sharing our cakes, coffee, teas, savoury favourites and sweet treats with you all.

Thank you for supporting us through the change and helping bring this new chapter to life. Same team, same attitude, just more cake and coffee under one very happy roof.

Pop in and say hello, we’re loving every minute of it. 💛

Exciting news for our wonderful customers! 🎉

We’re bringing the best of both worlds together. Mug Shots Espresso will soon be moving to the Gourmet Cakes and Platters location and the cafe section will be rebranding as Gourmet Cakes and Coffee. ☕🍰

By combining our two businesses under one roof, we can offer you what we love most — great coffee and beautiful cakes in one place. The same friendly faces, the same passion for quality, now together to create an even better experience for our community.

We’re so excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to welcome you all to enjoy coffee, cake, and good company.
