Happy Anzac Monday π₯° We have very little time to do maintenance work down at our little cafe without shutting down for a few days, we have a monday off to have our "day off" but at the moment we need that monday for baking or property tidy ups and today was that monday and I couldnt be more in love with my little limetree cafe than tonight, stunning weather, freshly mowed lawns, a bit of a spruce up on the deck (well overdue) π³ if only we had another 48 hours to tackle other parts...... unfortunately soups have been depleted over the weekend so I will tackle that job over the next few days but seafood chowder is in stock and lots of it....... lamb Irish stew, bacon hock veggie and pumpkin soup will follow and be back in stock mid to late week

Good morning everyone (well not for some of us here at The LimeTree) unfortunately 3 baristas Trina, grayce and myself have come down with a bug over the past 48 hours, we had to make a call to close up cafe early yesterday and we have made the call to shut today so all 3 of us can get better. Unfortunately our cafe cannot run on 3 staff and no barista, I dont make this decision lightly as I would always find a way to avoid this but in 12 years thats the first for 3 staff members off at once with the same bug, there is a bug going around households and schools at the moment and you just have to make a call to look after yourself/other staff members and our customers. So sorry for the inconvenience and we will back open 8am tommorow π
