Tarras Country Cafe Closing (November)
It is with great sadness that we have to share the news that the Tarras Country Café will be closing in the coming weeks.
Our landlords have decided to take over the café building themselves; meaning we will no longer be able to continue as we had planned.
This is not the future we expected, it was always our intention to stay at Tarras Country Café for many years to come, continuing to offer delicious, wholesome food and great coffee, and providing a warm, welcoming hub for locals and travellers alike. To be facing an unexpected end to that chapter, through circumstances beyond our control, is genuinely heartbreaking.
We want to extend a sincere thanks to all our customers (many of whom have become friends over the years); especially our regulars, from near and far, who stop in for a lamb panini or a running joke over the counter with Paul. We have been humbled by the many kind words and compliments we have received (especially from those who understand the skill and experience required to make a really good coffee!). It means a lot to us to know that the café has become somewhere people enjoy spending time and that the care we put into our food and hospitality has been appreciated.
We are heartbroken for our wonderful team and want to thank them publicly. They are all amazing, hard-working, loyal people who take real pride in their work, and they have been a joy to work alongside every day.
We will let you know our final day of trading as soon as we have confirmation ourselves. In the meantime, please swing by for your favourite treats, a good coffee, or just a yarn with the team. We would love to see as many of you as possible over the coming weeks.
Antonia and Paul
