The almost defies description. Before you enter, you notice a couple of small tables under the veranda and people enjoying an alfresco coffee.

"Beaut," I think, "I'm in the mood for a coffee." The mood changes to surprise when I enter and see it's not a café. What I see is an Aladdin's cave with a huge range of everything.


I see display shelving along each wall and centre tables containing; you name it. It's hard to describe the merchandise as almost every item is different.


If you are looking for a present for someone who thinks they have everything, this is the place to surprise them. I particularly like a small display with playing cards in a tin, a cheese and wine set and a puncture repair kit.


There was a rack of dresses for very young ladies and a couple of teddies for those even younger. To go with any gifts you purchase is a small range of unique cards.


The ambience of Posie is a warm feeling no doubt brought about by the overall pink theme of the décor.


As I near the back of the shop I spy a coffee machine. It is a café, albeit a small one, but a café in delightful surroundings.


Soon Megan is baristing my coffee which was most enjoyable.


The food available is more snacks than large meals, but is a perfect adjunct to your coffee.


Looking back from the rear of the shop I notice two small tables, pink of course, next to the front window.


Owner of the , Shannon explained, "Originally we sold posies of dried flower arrangements, but when covid hit we added a café to be able to remain open, providing takeaway coffee and snacks."


They are open every day except Sunday, during normal coffee-drinking hours.


is at the end of the Montrose shopping strip, on the corner of Devenish Avenue. A clever innovation is an opening and counter for takeaways, a couple of small tables, and a small street library.


If you are near the Montrose shopping strip visit the for a quiet coffee and snack and peruse the bountiful display merchandise. You won't be disappointed with either.
