Trainees Grace, Lachy and Dylan serve up delicious homemade food and a friendly vibe at the Compass Connections Cafe.
You know that catch-up you keep saying you must organise? The one that needs a proper conversation, something delicious and no particular hurry? There’s a garden in Nambour that would suit nicely.
Compass Connections Café has a sensory garden, a nursery to explore and plenty of reasons to settle in. A coffee can become lunch, and a browse among the plants can leave you mentally rearranging the garden at home.
Most of the café’s food is made from scratch, including homemade pies prepared by Compass trainees. Their skills, care and individual personalities help make the café somewhere people can enjoy returning to.
The café also brings people with disability into the everyday exchanges that make community life enjoyable. Preparing food, welcoming customers and working alongside others offer opportunities to contribute, learn and build independence.
For visitors, getting to know the people behind a favourite café adds something lovely to the experience. There’s pleasure in recognising one another and picking up a conversation where it left off.
And there is plenty to talk about here, from what’s for lunch to which plant might survive your gardening skills.
Bring someone you’ve been meaning to see. Give yourselves time for another coffee, too.
