GROW Café Co GROWing fast with Three Exciting new Locations in Penrith!

GROW Café Co, the new cafe chain has just announced the grand opening of three new cafes in the Penrith district– Kingswood, Lemongrove and Leonay. With a focus on wholefoods and a commitment to avoiding toxic ingredients, GROW Café Co (GROW meaning Green Regional Organic (where possible) Wholefoods) is dedicated to providing customers with delicious and healthy meals including products sourced from local farms and artisans , including eggs, honey, and bakeries, to support the surrounding community and minimise our environmental impact - even growing their own herbs, edible flowers, and garnishes in the venues.

Led by passionate Aboriginal entrepreneur Zachariah Buckley, GROW Café Co is on a mission to give back to the indigenous community and local community as a whole whilst caring for the land. Bush tucker items even make an appearance on the menu including Lemon Myrtle Tea, Bush Spice Dukkah, and Kakadu Plum Jam incorporating traditional bush tucker ingredients.

Zachariah’s passion shines through as he speaks about his excitement for opening cafes in Penrith, saying “There’s a rich aboriginal cultural history in Penrith of the Dharug people, I’m really excited to be opening cafes on this land and contributing back to the community wherever I can, I am especially excited to include traditional Bush Tucker elements into our menu, adding a unique twist to your common café favourites with items like Kakadu Plum Jam and Bush Spice Dukkah. I’m working on another new creation, the Kanga-dilla, my take on the Mexican Quesadilla, served with finger lime. Trust me, it tastes amazing! Keep an eye out for it.”

The most popular menu items so far include Summer Fruit Pancake Stack, Crispy Chicken Bao Buns, Classic Fish and Chips, Aussie Beef Burger and Strawberry Fields French Toast! Whilst these menu items may not sound healthy, they are made from wholefood ingredients and cooked with no industrial oils.

“At our cafes, we strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for all. Our menu offers a diverse range of options to cater to kids, adults, and all dietary needs, but above all, we prioritise taste and deliciousness in every dish. All served with a smile”

Says Zachariah.

In addition to his cafe locations, Zachariah also owns a pasta business that specialises in making fresh pasta from 100% Australian Durum Wheat. The pasta also features on the menus of the cafes, offering customers a complete dining experience with both delicious Campos Coffee and fresh, wholesome food.

For Leonay Manager Prisana Senior, GROW Café Co is a dream come true. “I love making coffees, I love talking to customers, and I love serving nice food,” she says.

“This place gives me the opportunity to combine my passions and manage the café as if it’s my own, while helping my team do what they’re good at and giving our customers an enjoyable and healthy café experience.”

Penrith City Children’s Choir – Singing Day 2023

BOyS and girls aged 7 – 13 years are invited to come to Penrith City Children’s Choir Singing Day – the first of three projects for 2023, directed by Lucy McAlary.

For a fun-filled afternoon of song join us on Sunday 26 February from 3-5pm at St Finbar’s Church Hall, Glenbrook. Add your voice to the energetic ‘Freedom Train’ from America, the mysterious ‘Camel Driver’ and the beautiful harmony of the German folksong ‘Music alone shall live’. Through wide-ranging and colourful repertoire, we develop vocal technique, musicianship and part-singing skills in an encouraging and joyful learning environment supported by experienced adult and teenage mentors. A great introductory ‘taster’ for new members with an informal performance at the end of the workshop for families and friends. If you love to sing, please join us!
