🚒 PLUS you’ll find our third Lark at the Carrum Downs CFA Open Day 10am-2pm!

There’ll be pet-friendly activities, market stalls, demonstrations and plenty happening for pets and their people.

A little update for our Carrum Downs crew ☕💛
We're changing things up at Wedge Road Reserve and, from this week, you'll find us there on weekends only.
We're still finding our feet at this newer location and working out what works best, so for now we're concentrating on making your weekend coffee runs extra good. 🙌

☕ Saturdays & Sundays
We're not going anywhere, we're just tweaking the schedule while Carrum Downs gets to know us! 🛻😉
So keep spreading the word, bring your friends, tell your neighbours and come say hi on the weekend. We'd love to see this little spot grow.
And a huge thank you to everyone who's already made us part of their coffee routine. We appreciate every single cuppa, chat and friendly face. 💛
