We are spending today and tomorrow ( Tuesday August 18th) finishing off our back courtyard! Mr. P - our absolute hero - along with the friends we get to call family are bringing this to life.

Behind every small business there are usually just a couple of crazy people who decided to give it a go! We love our Bentleigh Community so much, and everything we do in our businesses is to create special spaces for our locals to feel like home.

We hope you love what’s coming next - gearing up for some summer nights at Z with movie nights and Spritzes on tap. We’d love to hear what else you’d like to see at Little Z! 🫶🏽
