Labour Day Cancer Council March Charge Fundraiser- Here at the coal mine, we take pride in supporting the local community pantry and the Bunurong Wildlife Care, but for the month of March we are also raising money for cancer council. Our amazing dedicated owner Toni will be walking/running 100km this March to raise money. We have a donation tin at the cafe, and will be donating half of our coffee sales taken tomorrow (Labour Day) to this amazing cause! If you would like to support us in helping raising $1500 this month, all you have to do it come by tomorrow for a delicious roastwell coffee, every little helps in reaching her target! ☕️💕

Christmas Opening hours! Both the cafe and park will be closed on Christmas Day, but open as usual otherwise 😊

We cannot thank our local community enough for all of your support throughout the year, and wish you all the very best this holiday season! 🎄🎄

The Inner Wheel club also still have their table set up at the cafe if you are looking for any last minute Christmas gifts and stocking fillers. All money raised from the table, plus any tips in the jar all go to the local food pantry to help those in need ❤️

What a beautiful day! The perfect day to sit outside and enjoy a slice of cake and a thick shake or a delicious cup of coffee. Our passionfruit sponge has received so much love since we introduced it, that we are now offering orders for a whole cake for just $50! Freshly whipped cream to fill the middle and a tasty passionfruit icing on top, and we only need a couple days notice ☺️
