SKETCH – COFFEE AND ART

Come for the double shot Vienna, stay for the coastal art. This sparkling Towradgi gem is part cafe, part gallery, with the vibrant work of artist Jaqueline Burgess gracing the walls. Burgess operates a gift shop inside, while her South African parents Hennie and Eve take care of the cafe. A family affair, underpinned by good, nourishing food like freshly made organic acai bowls, light fritter stacks, salad rolls and “Green Goddess” smoothies.
