Owned and operated by husband and wife team Tyson and Amanda, the business was created out of sheer hard work and self belief. Tyson, while working as a Phd student at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, wanted to explore his love of fine coffee and customer service he had acquired while working under his father at the famous German Cake Shop in historic Hahndorf. Amanda, a hairdresser by trade asked no questions as she joined the journejoined the journey. Sourcing products from Tyson's dads bakery, the business acquired a healthy regular customer base. Products and services were added, including a large lunch menu, the business was the towns first 7 day a week cafe, renowned for its Sunday breakfasts.
