“I just had this drive to buy it.”

Tenille said her mum’s death put her values in sharp focus, and helped her figure out how to continue Brown Sugar’s community-minded ethos.

She said her staff were an integral part of bringing joy to customers and the community.

The cafe donates all breads and pastries that haven’t sold by the end of the day to the Homeless Hub’s Lighthouse Kitchen on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and to a rotating roster of other good causes throughout the week.

“We go to Lighthouse and the people there have literally nothing, but for those two evenings they have a safe space to sit with their friends, have a laugh and know they’re going to receive a warm hearty meal.
“Other days we might do a drop to a family in the community if we know they’re having a tough time, or to the ER or children’s ward at the hospital, the ambulance or local domestic violence shelters.
“It brings me joy to see the simple act of giving food brighten someone’s day.”

“I want them to know that even when times are tough and you feel down and out you can make a difference to someone else,” she said.

“I don’t want to exist, I want to live, and I want to do what I can to put positivity out into the world.”

We are so excited to introduce to you our newest retail stock items! candles are now stocked in Brown Sugar!!
