Free upcoming community event this month:
- 28 April, Tuesday. Open Mic Night!

You may have also noticed a price rise in the cafe in the last week. Due to the aforementioned 🌶️ geopolitical circumstances our wholesalers have raised their prices understandably. We have tried our best to absorb the costs, however, we run on a lean budget as a social enterprise and are unable to cover it all.

It’s Satoko’s last shift today! It’s always sad to say goodbye to an amazing colleague that’s been with you from the very beginning. But we know this is not the end. She has made dreams come true and now it’s her turn to make her dreams come true on her way home to Japan to be with family.

Come say hi, goodbye and thank you for all her contributions. That vegan Japanese curry roll would not be around if it wasn’t for her!

We will miss you Sato!!!

Today marks a special anniversary - 18 years since the National Apology.

On this day in 2008, former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd apologised on behalf of the nation for past laws, policies and practices that have impacted upon Australia’s First Nations Peoples, particularly members of the Stolen Generations.

We stand in solidarity with our First Nations community.
