Zephyr Coffee and Co

My Kirra local cafe fav. zephyrcoffeeco.com.au

We’ve always been breakfast people, but having kids made this even more so. We are a sucker for a good breaky with friends and family, over dinner out.

Owners, Justin & Mandie (and their beautiful daughter Mila, born just 2 weeks earlier then our Cash) have created the perfect little hot spot in Kirra, a popular little cafe, it is always bustling! … not just a cafe though … they do their own coffee roasting. Using state of the art technology to perfect an age old tradition of coffee roasting. Air roasting coffee to precision allows them to explore all the best qualities of the coffee bean. They source only highest quality of beans from around the world.

There are 6 blends to choose from … available to purchase online and inside their cafe of course. (head to their website to find out more about their variety of blends.)

I had the opportunity to spend some time in their cafe this week child free, snapping photos of Justin and another very familiar face to locals, Alex (who has worked at Zephyr since the very beginning). During this COVID time, they have only just been allowed to put a couple of chairs out, and we are all hoping they will be back to normal operating soon. I can’t wait to see this place full of life again (though the takeaways have certainly kept them busy).

Photographing just some of their delicious menu too … browse my food photography for Zephyr Coffee Co below, taking a ‘winter’ approach to this shoot as we enter the cooler months.
