Greek café culture is part of the shared history of Greece and Australia.

 

"During the twentieth century Greek-run cafés, milk bars, soda and sundae parlours, and oyster saloons became iconic catering enterprises where many Australians, in both rural and urban settings, met often, ate regularly and at times partied hard," writes Janiszewski in Greek Cafés & Milk Bars of Australia. "They were a social focus for many communities across the country."

​

The cafe has been recently renovated and is in the process of getting DA approval to reopen as a café and function centre.​
