So many dogs doing incredible things with their dedicated and passionate owners 🐕

Yesterday was yet another big day for Cafe Bloom with two events across two towns!

It was my first time heading south to Dannevirke to serve up the goods -and what better place to do it then the interschool cross country!
Thank you to the Dannevirke community for the support and making me feel at home - it was great to meet new faces and recognise others from previous events.

It was a quick turnaround to ensure I was set up ready for our young hockey stars at Russell Park!
Another successful evening full of great banter, plenty of laughs and lots of favourites being served.

Lastly - a very big thank you to those that support me on Wednesday evenings - this is always a huge night for me and I am constantly impressed with the manners, patience and overall support and understanding. You guys a frickin incredible x

After 10 days of back to back events I'm taking this weekend off with my family in the big smoke to support my daughter Layla in her trampoline comp.

Have a fab wkd guys

Come down to Farmlands Waipukurau, grab a sausage off the bbq and enjoy some quality banter with a coffee in hand.
This is our rural community supporting each other to thrive...and I'm stoked to be apart of it!

35 three cheese & ham toasties were served out the Cafe Bloom window yesterday within an hour followed by just as many coffees - thanks to my sister, Lisa, for the help because there's no way I could have done that alone!

Our preassembled toasties were cooked on-site and served to the Tukituki Land Care Poplar Workshop group to ensure they had a hot and delicious lunch!

Thank you Pixie and team for having us along, I appreciate the support 🌸

🚜 Farmers Long Lunch 🌾

Good people, good yarns, good food — and great coffee ☕️

Cafe Bloom is excited to be part of the upcoming Farmers Long Lunch, hosted by Jobs in Central Hawke’s Bay and Growing Future Farmers.

This is a relaxed opportunity for local farmers, growers, and rural businesses to connect with the organisations and people supporting our rural workforce. Whether you’re looking for information around employment, training, wellbeing, or support services — it’ll all be there in one place.

I’ll be onsite serving up the caffeine to keep the conversations flowing, alongside lunch and plenty of local connections.

📍 Farmlands, Waipukurau
🕛 12–2pm
📅 Wednesday 20 May

Pop in for a feed, a coffee, and a catch-up...plus there’ll be some awesome prize packs up for grabs thanks to generous local supporters.

What a day it's been at the Central Hawke's Bay Pony Club Events gymkhana in Takapau! 🐴☕️

We kept the parents caffeinated, the kids loaded up on ice creams, and cooked so many curly fries for the crew that we completely sold out 😅

The day was full of amazing riders, beautiful horses, smiling faces, and enough orders to keep us galloping all day long!

A massive thank you to the club for having me along, and to everyone who stopped by Cafe Bloom today 🌸I'm so grateful for the support.

Quality local rugby this afternoon with Central Hawkes Bay Rugby Sports Club taking a win against Waipawa Country United Men's Rugby 🏉
There were plenty of hot coffees keeping fans warm, and would you believe it - plenty of ice creams 🥶

Thank you for having me along guys and it was lovely to work alongside the Poppets Kettlecorn fam again today 🍿

There was a slight change to my schedule today, and I was absolutely stoked to attend the 5-a-side sports event at Elsthorpe School!

Around 450 students from small schools across CHB took part, and I can tell you one thing — the parents friggin’ LOVE their coffee! ☕️😅

It was out-the-gate hectic, but sooo good! I’m incredibly grateful for everyone’s patience while I kept the caffeine flowing.

A huge thank you to Hannah and the team for having me along, and to the wider school community for being so welcoming, supportive, and friendly 😊 You guys are absolute legends — thank you xx

There was absolutely no time for pretty photos so this is all I have to show for an incredible day 🌸
