Welcome to the Clever Cafe community, where we celebrate, support and connect the beating heart of Australia’s cafe culture.
We’re now starting to feature cafe owners in regular and ongoing Community Stories. We’re excited to receive your submissions and share your cafe story with the world!
It’s your chance to speak about your unique journey, show off your business, and share more about yourself with customers, foodservice providers, and the broader community. We’ll create a Community story all about you and include a link to your cafe in our Cafe Directory, reaching local, national, and global audiences. Right now, this is just for established cafes, but we hope to open it up to cafe startups very soon.
