Your coffee break is calling… ☕️

goody.beans is always bringing the goods!

We’re proud to support another local social enterprise doing incredible things here at our cafe. Formerly known as The Blessed Bean, they’ve been with us since day one. Come in and taste the difference, and maybe grab a bag of beans for yourself on the way out 😍

A Melbourne Cup spread worth celebrating! 🧀 This large grazing box was just one of our catering orders for today!

Delicious food, great prices and quality you can count on. PLUS our catering is now available for pickup from both Wodonga and Albury!

But we need your help! We’re giving our catering offerings a little refresh and would love your input!

Do you prefer to mix and match your own catering, choose from ready-made packages, or a little bit of both?

Check out our current menu on our website and let us know what you think! 💚

This is what it’s all about. ☀️

Sunshine, good food, happy kids and afternoons that don't need to be complicated.

When we imagined what Close Collective @ Retro Lane could be, this is exactly what we had in mind - a welcoming, friendly space where families can relax, kids can land after a long day at school, friends can catch up and the community can come together.

Seeing this vision come to life, and watching people make the space their own, is pretty special.

Thank you for all your support over our first week of trading. 💙

A few days into our Retro Lane journey and reviews like this are already making our day! 💙

Our team has put so much into getting the café up and running, so hearing that people are enjoying their visits means a lot.

Thanks for the kind words, Kshemali! And if you haven’t visited us yet, we’d love to see you soon. ☕

That meal prep has had a good run, but rock beats scissors every time.

End the working week with good food, great coffee and a little good for your community by supporting opportunities for local young people.

Go on, it’s for a good cause. 😉

What a first day, Albury! ☕✨

Today we officially opened the doors to Close Collective @ Retro Lane, and what a way to kick things off - it was everything we dreamed of and more!!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared our excitement and supported us on day one. And to the incredible team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this space to life — this one’s for you!

We’re so excited for what’s ahead, and for Retro Lane to become a place where our community can come together, enjoy good food and great coffee, and be part of something with a greater purpose.

Day one down. So much more to come. 🧡

One more sleep, Albury!

After weeks of planning, painting, furniture moving, menu testing and plenty of behind-the-scenes hustle, we’re finally ready to open the doors!

It’s been a huge effort to bring Retro Lane to life, and seeing it all come together has made every bit of it worthwhile.

Now there’s just one thing missing… you!

Close Collective @ Retro Lane opens tomorrow, Wednesday 14 October from 8.30am!

Come in, take a look around, find your favourite spot and make yourself at home.

We can’t wait to see this space filled with people.

See you tomorrow! ☕

We love good coffee. But Close Collective has always been about more than what’s in the cup. ☕

Close Collective is a social enterprise of Junction Support Services, creating opportunities for young people to learn, build skills, gain experience and connect with their community.

Our new Retro Lane café brings that purpose right into the heart of Albury.
So whether you’re dropping in for your morning coffee, catching up over breakfast or bringing the kids in for lunch, your visit is part of something bigger.

That’s what we mean when we say:
Good food. Great coffee. Greater purpose.

Opening at Retro Lane THIS WEDNESDAY 14 October. 💙

A little taste of what’s to come at Retro Lane! ☕️

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Junction Support Services staff into our new Close Collective @ Retro Lane café for a sneak peek ahead of next week’s public opening.

The coffees were flowing, the food was coming out of the kitchen, and it was wonderful to see the space starting to come to life.

We’re looking forward to sharing it with the wider Albury community very soon!

Opening Wednesday 14 October.

Something new is taking shape at Retro Lane 👀
We’ve been busy behind the scenes turning this space into the next home of Close Collective - and it’s getting very close.

There’s still a bit to do, but we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.
Albury, we’re coming. ☕️

More tomorrow.
