Lana Marshall has added to her shop, Fleuret, with a café called The Lotus Pod.
The café is a cosy addition to the flowers and other beautiful trinkets found at Fleuret.
Lana has building towards this for some time, and is so happy with how the café has turned out.
“It’s always been my dream to have a flower shop with a café inside and it just happened to fall into my lap when I was working for the previous owner.
“She offered the shop to me – to take over. Eventually I was able to open The Lotus Pod myself. “
The café took Lana just a week to set up.
“I wanted it to look like it was always here. So your garden style, with greenery and flowers. It sits in here without looking out of place. The tree was the inspiration behind it.”
Miaka is the lady that is most likely to serve you.
“I like to create a very cosy and comfortable and safe atmosphere. And I really love connecting on a personal level with the customers.”
The Lotus Pod opened up early this week and already has regulars.
“I just love having good conversations and meeting people as well. It’s a happy warm place for everyone to enjoy. And also have a beautiful coffee!”
There is a selection of cakes, pies and sausage rolls to nibble on as well as a range of drinks for your refreshment.
Their coffee, “Bliss” is described as “a smooth and creamy roast, strong but not bitter.”
They have a special on – a large coffee and pie or sausage roll for $10, so head down today and check them out.
The Lotus Pod café is found in Fleuret, at 109 Woodlark St. Open Monday to Friday, 8am til 5pm and 8am til 1pm on Saturday. Sunday is closed.
