🎉☕️ WELL… I WAS MEANT TO WALK INTO THIS TOMORROW MORNING! 😂

But apparently when you’re the boss, the job is never done… even at 7:30pm 🤦‍♀️😂

So I may have spoiled my own surprise a little early! 🤣

And before anyone gets confused… NOPE, it’s not my birthday! 🎂😂

It’s actually ARABICA’S 1ST BIRTHDAY! 🥳☕️❤️

One whole year since we took over Arabica… and what a bloody year it’s been!
So to celebrate with all you legends who have supported us, laughed with us, caffeinated with us and kept us going…

☕️ $1 SMALL COFFEES ☕️
⏰ 7:30am – 8:30am TOMORROW

1 year of owning Arabica - 1st October = 1 hour of $1 coffees! 😍 (Jae 👈🏻 shes the barista going to hate me) 😬

So set those alarms, drag ya butt outta bed and come celebrate with us!

ONE YEAR DOWN… YEAR TWO, LET’S GO! 🥳☕️

And yes… I’ll be there.
Because apparently the boss never gets a day off. 😂 and holy! check out that cocktail balloon 😳 it’s bigger than me 😂
