‘Augie’s Place – A Dog-Friendly Brunswick Café Built on Community.’
Everything at Augie’s place has a story, from our old school recipes to our infamous ‘Paw-l of Fame wall’.
We are about welcoming an including community into a nice relaxed green place, providing a calm and safe environment for all diversities.
We believe everyone should have a great coffee at an affordable price; therefore we do not have additional charges for non-dairy milks. My Zia Tulia always welcomed everyone into her home over a cup of coffee, Italian waffles and biscotti. She was a beautiful happy soul to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Our recipes come from many strong and talented women who have inspired
and taught me how to bake
Our colour, decor and green spaces are inspired by my aunt who loved to paint Australian native landscapes, this is incorporated with the lovely natural space we have surrounding us here in the middle of four green spaces of Brunswick.
My Mother and Nonna taught me how to continue the Italian traditions of our heritage through traditional ingredients and making use of everything we have and not throwing anything out, but creating delicious meals that
make you feel right at home and welcome.
That is how we would like you to feel when you visit us.
The furnishings at Augie’s also come from many different homes, lovely women who have given them to us and we have the honour of enjoying them in our space.
We have an amazing artist in residence Isabella, who has created many pieces that you will see in Augie’s and one large piece in particular that I insisted we have commissioned and takes pride of place in our café.
Our handwash is from “Two Good Co.” who support and encourage women who have and do live with domestic violence, by purchasing their products you can help support them and assist with them building their own strength. These can be purchased in our merchandise shelving.
Our toilet paper “Yarnin” also supports and funds first nation artists, with profits assisting with their artistic development and helps to promote their amazing talents.
