Cafe Polo Miramar

First day of the year!! 🤤🤤🤤
Vanilla custard cream, raspberry gel + dark chocolate glazzzzzeee....

Happy New Year! We’re back from our holidays and we’re getting the cafe ready to reopen THIS FRIDAY!
To ease back into it, our hours for the first three days will be 9am til 2pm and the offering will be a smaller, simpler menu (did somebody say Turkey Club and Buffalo Cauliflower Roll 🤤) as well as a cabinet stocked full of goodies.
If you’ve been holding out for one of Lisa’s donuts, the flavour this Saturday will be Jelly Tip so feel free to send us a message so we can put one or two on hold for you. Keep your eyes peeled on socials for a glimpse at what else is in the cabinet.
Whether it’s this week or later on when you’re back from your adventures, we look forward to seeing you at the cafe soon.

We’ve had a cancellation for today’s sold out Christmas lunch. If you’d like to grab this spot (it’s a table for two at 12:30pm) get in touch.
$50pp for main and dessert.

Would you like to join our team for 2024?

Unfortunately for us (but we’re stoked for them!) three of our weekend FOH workers who have been with us for quite some time will be finishing up next year to go to various universities around the country.

What this means for us is we’ll be looking for a couple of people who would be interested in working part time weekend shifts and also someone who might be able to do Wednesdays and Thursdays.

If you think you’d be interested in learning about hospitality or if you’ve already got some experience and are looking for a new role, get in touch with Briar at [email protected]
