Throwback to 2017 ❤️
It’s hard to believe this little video was filmed almost nine years ago.
When this video was filmed, Dovetail on Overend was already becoming a special gathering place for the local community- and we’ve worked hard every day to maintain the things that make Dovetail special: great coffee, delicious food, freshly baked desserts, catering for your coeliac friends and family members, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.
Since opening our doors in 2014, we’ve watched first dates turn into marriages, young families grow up, friendships form over coffee, and countless conversations shared around these tables.
Over the years, we’ve also had the privilege of mentoring and working alongside many young staff members who have gone on to do amazing things in their careers. Some started as junior café staff and are now thriving in hospitality, healthcare, aviation and many other industries.
That’s one of the beautiful things about small businesses- they become part of people’s stories and journeys.
With May being Queensland Small Business Month, we also want to celebrate all the hardworking small businesses across Queensland continuing to show up for their communities each day, despite the challenges many are facing right now. ❤️
To everyone who has supported Dovetail over the years- whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or discovered us only recently- thank you for being part of our story.

12 years of Dovetail 💜
What started as a simple love for coffee and baking has grown into something far beyond what we ever imagined.
Over the years, there have been many seasons- moments of growth, uncertainty, and challenges that come with running a small business.
But what has always stayed the same is why we do this.
Dovetail has never just been about food.
It’s about creating a space where people feel welcome, included, and truly looked after - especially our coeliac and gluten-free community.
It’s also a space where we’ve been able to share flavours, stories, and a little piece of culture through what we create.
At its heart, Dovetail is about connection -
bringing people together, families around a table, and sharing moments over good food.
We’re incredibly grateful to still be here, doing what we love.
Thank you for being part of our journey 🥰
