What started as a florist on Cartwright Street by owner Louise Zaghini and her husband, has blossomed into a fusion of rich coffee aroma mingled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, creating an ambiance reminiscent of a bright summer morning.
As you wait for your coffee, you can wander through the thoughtfully curated selection of flowers and homewares, adding to the charm of this cosy space.
A favorite spot for birthday celebrations, customers often place fresh flowers on their tables as they enjoy their morning brew or indulge in delicious breakfast and lunch offerings.
What makes Fiori With Love's food so special is the fact it is all homemade, while they don't have a huge menu, everything is really fresh and popular with customers, even growing their own herbs to garnish their delicious options.
Owner, Louise Zaghini, explained how one of her items that is popular with locals is the fresh pumpkin scones with jam and cream.
"We also do lots of fresh juices, smoothies, and milkshakes," Louise added.
When asked to describe Fiori With Love in three words, Louise stated the cafe is
"Relaxing, fulfilling, and yummy!"
"Everyone just comments on how lovely and fresh the food is, and how yummy!"
After 10 incredible years of Fiori With Love, Louise wants to share the bittersweet news that she has decided to put the business up for sale. While it wasn’t an easy decision, she is excited about the fresh energy and creativity new owners will bring.
"We hope to pass it on to someone who will continue to nurture and grow it — perhaps a mother and daughter, two friends, or simply someone with a true passion for creativity."
"It will break my heart to say goodbye, but there comes a time when you have to step back. This will also give us the chance to spend more time with our grandkids!"
If you or someone you know is looking for the opportunity to take over a much-loved creative business, take a look at Fiori With Love — you could be the perfect second owners to continue its story.
