There's only one thing that beats barista-made coffee: a cuppa ☕ made with premium and locally sourced coffee beans.

We are pleased to announce that we are introducing St Remio coffee at both our cafe locations AND our food truck Hilda. These coffee beans introduce a delicious flavour to our coffee and the best part? They add a pop of colour to our shelves too.

Can you taste the difference?

I'll take my scones with a side of Australian-made jam 🍓
The scone is known as a cafe classic and at Cafe Vita et flores, we are especially proud of this popular menu item. It pairs fabulously with the Jam Lady Jam range and a steaming cuppa of our barista-made coffee ☕.

Remember that our Springvale florist is currently operating out of Café Vita et flores while our florist space is undergoing an exciting renovation. We can't wait to show off our new refreshed space, but we can still fulfil all your floristry needs at the café ☕

While most are embracing the cosy vibes of hot beverages ☕ at this time of year, we know that there are those of you who love iced drinks as a year-round treat. To that end, did you know that we offer our chai in an iced version? Autumnal spices meets cool refreshment!

We are excited to announce that our Springvale florist is getting a makeover! 💄💅

This upgrade will help us better service our community and bring a fresh look to our space. These works will commence tomorrow, 15 May until further notice. During this period our florist area will be temporarily closed. You can still experience the magic of our talented florists. Our lovely team has set up a pop-up florist right next door at Café Vita et flores.
