Brewing a brighter future

Every drink and dish purchased helps us provide essential workplace skills and training for our students with disabilities and autism.

In fact, they’re the faces you’ll see behind the counter, putting their learning into practice to bring you your delicious food and drinks!

Food made fresh for you

Our meals, snacks and sweet treats are made on-site with fresh ingredients and care, so you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious lunch or irresistible cakes, slices and cookies.

Just stopping by for a drink? We’ve got plenty of hot and cold options to choose from to quench your thirst. All of our coffee products – including coffee beans, and syrups – have been generously supplied by Zarraffa’s Coffee Caloundra.
