💳 SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS & CUSTOMERS, THIS ONE IS WORTH A SIGNATURE.

Card surcharges are disappearing, but the cost of processing card payments isn’t.

And that cost has to land somewhere.

For small businesses like ours, card transaction fees add up to thousands of dollars every year. If we can no longer pass that fee on as a surcharge, we’re left with two choices, absorb another increasing cost of doing business, or build it into our prices.

Neither really fixes the problem.

There is currently an Australian Parliament petition calling for the banks to absorb card transaction fees rather than small businesses or their customers.

👏 If you're a small business owner, please sign it.

👏 If you're a customer who doesn't want to pay card surcharges OR see everyday prices increase to cover them, please sign it.

And if you know another small business owner, tag them or share this with them.

It takes a minute to add your name, but collectively our voices can be pretty loud. 💜

Small businesses shouldn't be left carrying the cost of a banking system we all need to use.

Well… we may have found our newest little weakness 🤤🥐

We’ve got something NEW in the cabinet at Love & Karma, beautiful Argentinian pastries, locally supplied by Patagonia - Argentinian Bakery 🇦🇷💜

We were lucky enough to taste these recently and they were just too bloody good not to share with you!

Flaky, delicious and a little something different to enjoy with your morning coffee ☕️

Pop in and give one a try… although I’m making no promises they’ll last long 😂

Supporting another local small business while filling our cabinet with delicious things? That’s a win in my books 💜

💜 Welcome to Thursday Brekkie Dates with Oscar & Grammy. ☕

Instagram

Every Thursday, my grandson Oscar and I have a standing date.
We head off together to explore a different café, enjoy breakfast, make memories and, hopefully, leave with a few new friends.

As a café owner myself, I know just how much love, hard work and passion goes into creating a place where people gather. That's why this page isn't about reviews or ratings.

It's about celebrating the people behind the cafés.

We'll be sharing beautiful food, great coffee, genuine conversations and the stories of the amazing people who pour their hearts into their businesses every single day.

We'll be paying our way, supporting local and shining a light on the cafés that make our communities so special.

So come along for the journey as Oscar and I discover great brekkies, meet wonderful people and create memories together, one Thursday at a time.

Because every café has a story worth sharing. 💜

☕ Know a café with a story worth sharing? Tag them below or send us a message, we'd love to add them to one of our Thursday adventures.

This is how most of my days start... 💜

5am, coffee on, lights up, and straight into it.

The early starts aren't always easy, but there's something I love about those quiet moments before the rest of the world wakes up. It feels like a reset. A fresh start. Another chance to do what I love.

Some people hit snooze... I unlock a café. ☕💜

💕 Welcome to the Love and Karma family, Baby Enzo! 💕

We're so excited to introduce the newest little member of our Love and Karma family, beautiful baby Enzo. 💙

A huge congratulations to our gorgeous Bella and her family on the arrival of their precious little boy. We couldn't be happier for you all.

Our little café has always been about more than just coffee, it's about family, friendships, and celebrating life's special moments together. So it's only fitting that we welcome another Love and Karma grandbaby into the world.

I was lucky enough to meet little Enzo today and even got my very first cuddle. 💜 My heart is so full.

We can't wait until you're ready to come and visit us at the shop, little Enzo. Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and just a little bit of coffee shop chaos. ☕💙

Congratulations, Bella & Ivan. We love you and are so incredibly happy for you. 💜
