About us

Our café in Taradale has always been a place that people can visit to relax and enjoy a great meal, amazing coffee and wonderful company in a warm and friendly environment. Whether you like the fun and frenetic vibe or just want to find a quiet corner to watch the world go by we have a place for you.

We have been blessed over the years to have been able to work alongside wonderful staff who have all brought their individual skills and talents to our café and whose care, compassion, smiles and friendliness have brought us a horde of regulars who are as passionate about our business as we are.

The success of our business is measured by our ability to return to the community that supports us. Over the years we have had ongoing sponsorships and relationships with local sports teams, schools, kindergartens and charities and regularly hold our “Coffee with Karma” days where we donate a portion of our sales to charities that are important to our staff or have had an impact on our lives.
