Nursery adds cafe

 

A Peninsula nursery has expanded its operation to include a café for its customers.

Courtyard Capers, a nursery at Ettalong, has opened a new café within its premises.

Co-owner of Courtyard Capers, Ms Janice Rutherford, said "The café has warm indoor seating and outdoor seating.

"You can sit on the verandah and watch time go by."

The nursery originally had a café.

However, Ms Rutherford and co-owner Mr Neil Morris decided to concentrate on building the quality of the nursery before adding a café.

"We're plant people not coffee people, so we found it a bit awkward.

"We've built up the nursery and concentrated on that so we can offer a better nursery service," Ms Rutherford said.

The new café is operated by Debbie Mumford, owner of Zitas restaurant at Woy Woy.

"Debbie is a qualified chef," Ms Rutherford said.

Customers are commenting positively about the new café.

"We've had them comment as they've left that it was lovely food, the girls are friendly and that the coffee is very nice," said Ms Rutherford.

Zetas Café at Courtyard Capers is open for breakfast and all day.
