Don't you just love it, when you discover hidden little treasures in quiet suburban streets, away from the busy-ness of the tourist strips?

This is how we came upon , tucked away serendipitously in a side street amid a world of corporate and industrial companies. describe themselves as 'a creative space, a coffee lounge and a noshery'. Okay, the 'noshery' part I had to google and for those like me, who have no idea, the definition of a noshery is a restaurant or snack bar.



Located in a warehouse (creative hub) shares their very funky coffee lounge with three other establishments, that are all aimed at creative self-expression. 's contribution to all this creativity is with the innovation and exploration of flavours and ingredients in their menus as well as holding regular art exhibitions with all art being available for purchase.



I personally loved that cater as an 'out-of-home-office', offering free Wi-Fi, a workbench and even charging stations for those looking for a perfect spot to get those creative juices flowing. And it was apparent that there were many who are just as enamoured as me with this concept, as the workbench was filled to capacity with busy little bees, laptops present, all in a state of deep concentration.



celebrate cooking from around the world, while ensuring that their produce is responsibly and locally sourced. Besides the Botero Coffee , which was absolutely delish, offer fourteen different varieties of tea and tisanes by Jilly's Teas , speciality jaffles and incredible street food. The sweet tooth is also catered for with house-made sweet treats ranging from the indulgent to the guilt-free.



The available all day menu at includes wraps, rolls, winter bakes, salads and hot 'grab and go's' so whether you're vegan, vegetarian, a carnivore or gluten-free, this fantastic destination cafe off the usual well-worn tracks, has got you covered.



I haven't indulged in jaffles for many moons, so was quite keen to try out one of the creative specialities and so decided on the Ultimate Cheese Jaffle - double Swiss cheese with red onion - at only $7 it was worth every cent. The red onion perfectly blended with the cheese, making for a very delicious, down memory lane, treat for lunch time. My skinny Latte was the ideal accompaniment for the cooler weather we've been experiencing on the Sunny Coast.



is open six days a week - Monday to Friday from 6.30am until 3.00pm and Saturdays from 7.00am until 12.00pm - with breakfast, made fresh to order, being served until 10.30am.



There are many establishments on the Sunshine Coast that open up and unfortunately have to close as the population is not large enough to sustain every new business that opens their doors. In my oh-so humble opinion, have the makings of a great success story, sharing their creative hub with other establishments, offering a comfy work station area and a delectable menu, at very affordable prices.



is well worthy of a bookmarked visit - you will love the relaxed, laid-back creative space this noshery has to offer!
