Lovers of a latte or cappuccino coffee for the morning drive to work along the highway are taking advantage of the recent opening of The Wheatsheaf Store and are discovering the newly renovated building has more than just coffee to excite patrons.
While offering a selection of mouth-watering cakes and hot pies to complement a coffee, a quick glance around the store discovers a selection of exotic foods.
The Store owners are to be complimented as they have gone to great lengths to support local producers with the produce of local business Budgee Garlic and Herbs most prominent with a wide selection of jams, such as Mixed Berry and Lavender, and a selection of seasoning and herbs including a very interesting BBQ Beef Rub.
Fresh local eggs are supplied by Emu Creek Eggs and cold drinks by Cook’s Soft Drinks of Pittsworth with a locally-produced selection of soaps also on offer.
A limited selection of fresh vegetables and grocery items is also available and will no doubt help locals who run out of an essential item and wish to avoid a drive to Toowoomba.
The friendly staff of Rebecca, Bev, Shai and Kaity have been pleasantly surprised by the constant flow of customers as locals have been keen to support the new business.
Although there is no official date for the re-opening of the Wheatsheaf Hotel itself, work is well underway renovating the pub both inside and out.
The Wheatsheaf Café is certainly a place to explore for interesting and exotic food items and is a wonderful and welcome facility for local East Greenmount residents.
