The Vermont South Community Café

Welcome to The Vermont South Community Café, located at 1 Karobran Drive in Vermont South, Australia. Our onsite café opened in May 2015 with the goal of bringing our community together in a welcoming and comfortable environment. We are proud to operate as a social enterprise, reinvesting the money we make back into our business and the local community to tackle social problems, improve opportunities, support communities, and help the environment.

At our café, we are committed to supporting trainees by providing them with the opportunity to practice new skills and gain confidence and independence in customer service. We work closely with employment agencies to assist with the placement and employment of trainees, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive.

Open every weekday, our menu features high-quality home-styled food and a range of delicious beverages for your enjoyment. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, our café offers a diverse selection to satisfy your cravings.

In addition to our regular café services, we also provide a catering service for your special occasions. Our catering service operates from Monday to Friday and offers food only. You can choose to have the food provided hot and ready to serve, or you can heat it yourself. Please discuss your preferences at the time of booking.

To secure your catering booking, a 50% deposit is required. Orders are considered confirmed only after the deposit has been received. Final numbers and dietary requirements must be confirmed 7 days prior to the event, and full payment is required 2 days before the event date, unless other arrangements have been made previously. We accept payment by credit card, including Mastercard and Visa (American Express is not accepted), and credit card surcharges apply. Our bank details are provided on each invoice for payment by direct transfer.

Please note that orders cancelled 7 or more days from the event will receive a refund, minus a $30.00 administration fee. However, orders cancelled less than 7 days from the event will not be refunded the initial 50% deposit.

At The Vermont South Community Café, we also want to take a moment to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work, and play. We honor their cultures and the Elders, both past and present.
