About Us
Come and Visit!
General Store at the Heart is more than just a café—it’s a community-driven space where great coffee, good food, and even better people come together. Known for brewing the best coffee in the northeast, we serve up epic sandwiches, classic hot dogs, golden chips, and old-school treats like Chiko Rolls, thick milkshakes, and creamy gelati. But beyond the menu, we’re on a mission to make a difference, providing employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities, at-risk individuals, and those facing job barriers. Backed by NDIS and private funding, our programs help build skills, confidence, and brighter futures in hospitality and beyond. Whether you're here for brunch, a takeaway, or just a friendly chat, you’ll always feel at home.
Certified FUN!
