our local
At least once a fortnight we go to our favourite local cafe and indulge in a few hours of bliss. Bamboo Buddha is my idea of a perfect cafe – wholesome vegetarian food, organic coffee, Balinese day beds and a trickling fish pond. There’s little paths in and out of the trees, around and about the pond, and Che spends hours circling them. He wanders up to the kitchen by himself and asks the girls for a cup of fish food (you can see it in his hand in that first photo) and proceeds to sprinkle the lurid orange flakes into the water.
Yesterday we went there for morning tea and ended up staying for lunch. For three and a bit hours we lay on the day bed listening to the birds and the beetles. Poet slept, I took photos and Daniel shot film. Che played the Pied Piper and took some other little kids on a “lizard walk.” When we left we felt like we’d been on a holiday. Truly – we floated home.

Jodi, this looks like a little slice of heaven. And can I just say you and Daniel make some beautiful babies! Poet is the splitting image of you. Too cute! xo
Now that sounds like my idea of paradise! and I agree with Claire…you do make beautiful babes 🙂
I've driven past this place so many times but have never stopped to check it out. Now i know what's in there i think i must! A real hidden gem!
this place looks nourishing, on so many levels. xo
Ooh, lovely. And Che's pants are gorgeous! Thanks for the link 🙂
That is such a beautiful cafe! You have inspired me to find something similar near me, surely there has to be something! I too want to lounge on some cushions sipping away!

This cafe must be bliss…and your little che looks like a little Zen Master! 🙂
oh yes, it is a favourite for us too when we visit my parents, who live just up the hill from there. and oh my goodness i don't think it is possible to go past those stunning floral pants. I love kids in floral pants, especially those made from well loved sheets. beautiful pictures as always. xx
I want to live at Bamboo buddha – it looks and sounds heavenly to me!
Oh that sounds positively idyllic Jodi, delightful :o)
Is it wrong that I would love to eat your beautiful baby… in a good way of course… she is delicious :o) Che is a dream boat also xo
I wish there was a cafe like that where i live, sounds like bliss 🙂 Love Che's pants & Poet is a little doll, so sweet!
Oh the baby! The baby! He's so gorgeous. And those eyes!
What kind of wrap is the babe all swaddled in?
These kiddos of yours are heavenly. That picture of Che just kills me. And what a fab cafe to call your own xx
I'm so glad I got to go there when we were up the coast! It was lovely. And can i just say, Poet is the spitting image of you!
That sounds divine. Especially considering it's about 30 degrees F here right now…
Oh, the swaddling beings back such memories to this nostalgic pregnant Mama. Cohen would not sleep unless his little arms were tucked in close and should a little arm creep out he'd call, as only babies can, for me to pop it back in again.
You have found a wonderful space indeed.
🙂
How perfect! You'd never want to leave… I can so see Poet in her little head wrap in a few months time sitting around on those floor cushions. boho heaven x

oh my golly gosh. i just can't get over how cute your babies are! Poet's eyes are just so mesmerising. I love Che's outfit too. by the sounds of it I'd stay there all day too. my kind of hang out. must check it when we visit the Central Coast one of these days. beautiful photography too by the way.
