The faces behind TISCH. 🤎

Most of you know me, Sophia. The one who had this crazy idea after a Euro summer to open a café, and somehow arrived back in Tassie just as the perfect little spot in Lindisfarne fell into my lap.

Some of you also know that I have two beautiful girls, H & S. These two pop up behind the counter at TISCH every now and then, but it’s actually what happens behind the scenes that makes me most proud.
It has been a huge change for the girls to lose their treasured mornings with Mummy. They basically had to grow up overnight and have been absolutely amazing at adjusting to our new life. 💕

They are also the reason we are very strict on our 2pm closing time — because as much as I love TISCH, I will not be missing school pick-up! 😂

In slide two, you’ll find our littlest darling boy, Bronson. He joined us rather unexpectedly in January, and now I genuinely can’t imagine our family without him. If you spot us walking (or, in Bronson’s case, prancing) around the neighbourhood, say hello. He loves a pat and absolutely thrives on the attention. 🐶🐕

And last but not least, Zachary — or Zac, as you’ll know him. The larrikin who might end up serving you and dropping a few bombs while doing so. 😅
Without him, I honestly wouldn’t have survived those first two weeks at TISCH. He was also the one backing the crazy plan to invest our hard-earned savings into my dream.
He didn’t give up when things got really hard (insert endless bearaucrazy challenges 😂), saw the light at the end of the tunnel and reminded me that this had been a life goal of mine for so many years.
And don’t fear if you spot him behind the machine — Zac has had extensive barista training by yours truly, and his milk steaming is absolutely on point. 😤☕️

So, this is us.
We gave up a lot to open TISCH, to fulfil a lifelong dream and to build something we hope will create a beautiful life for our family — although, let’s be honest, selling coffee was never going to make us rich. 😂

We love getting to know all of you, meeting your families and hearing your stories. 🫶

Thanks for being part of our little TISCH family. 🤎

In good company in the Hobart Magazine.
For years I loved reading the Hobart Magazine and my favourite segment was the one about the new businesses around Hobart and Tassie.

Seeing my name and café published in there now among other new businesses feels unreal.

We have some copies in store now, but you can find them all around town 🙌

Thanks for spending the last four weeks with us ✨️

We feel so privileged to have been welcomed into Lindisfarne with such open hearts, endless support and so many kind words.

We’ve loved meeting our new regulars, getting to know the local community, and seeing so many other small business owners cheering us on as we find our feet in this new venture.

Honestly, we can’t believe it’s already been a month on this incredible journey. TISCH wouldn’t be what it is without all of you. 🤎

Thank you for the laughs, the kind words, the love for our coffee, sandwiches and grazing boards — and for continuing to take a seat at our table.

Enjoy this little collection of random shots from our first month. ✨️

This little suburb 🥹❤️

Lindisfarne and surrounds have shown up for us in our first week, and we honestly couldn’t be more grateful.

We already have some of you coming in daily 🫶 The Reuben addiction is still going strong, closely followed by The Village 🤤

And our little visitors love a cookie or two… honestly the sweetest ☺️

We’ve had some lovely feedback (and yes, we’re listening!) with plenty of little improvements already in the making. One big one will be getting our new team fully trained up, so we can give you the efficient, friendly service you deserve 🙌

Thank you for all the kind words, support and love you’ve shown this little place. We’re so lucky to have landed here ❤️

WHAT. A. WEEK.

When we decided to open a little café in the heart of Lindisfarne, we expected a handful of people to visit, but oh boy, we were so wrong.

It is an absolute privilege to be greeted by the community like this. The love and support we have received this week makes our hearts burst and reminds us why we did all this. We wanted to create a place where everybody belongs and can be together.

This week I wouldn't have survived without the help of my amazing family and friends - thanks to all of you - the ones who jumped behind the counter, the ones working in the background, the ones who checked in and made sure I'm not losing my mind 😅, the ones taking care of our children and especially a big fat thank you to my husband Zac, who works so hard at his job and then came to the shop every night to help me clean up and get sorted for the next day while sorting out the insurance aim for our flooded house.

Going into this next week I feel a lot more at ease knowing we have two new staff members joining us to keep up with the demand for sandwiches and drinks. We are also so lucky to have the best suppliers who have been squeezing in my last minute orders.

Thank you all for your support, patience and love...

I’ll be back, supporting local business.
