Okay, Archie needs to clear something up once and for all::
Yes, we ARE actually open. Properly open. Reliably open.
Since we took over as the new owners, we’ve been building towards this:
Wed–Sun, 10am–8pm, kitchen open all day.
No missing a 2pm kitchen cutoff to settle for coffee and cake. No need to decode our hours like it’s a side quest. Every day is the same. Just Google us. Turn up. We cook. You eat.
If you ever visited Archie across the past couple of years and left hungry because the times weren't a match - we've dug deep, transformed what the place is about, and we'd love some faith from the community.
Come back. Try us for the first time. We love serving everybody.
And in the weeks ahead? We’re going bold. We’re going botanical. Things are about to get fun for the tastebuds.

What does 85% of your team being supported employees actually look like - in a café also gripped by wild culinary ambition?
In short: Plenty of work, but a fun time had by all.
It looks like a lot of talking. Regular check-ins. More planning and consideration. Managing multiple communication styles happening in the kitchen at once. More pathways and resources for the team to engage processes in ways that work for them. Sometimes more mistakes, but met with creative responses. More figuring out what helps each person do their best. Lots of experimentation.
Underpinning that - it means slowing down. Our charity's () goal is to sustainably employ people with disability, who get paid just the same as everyone else. Everything on top of that, is (plant-based) gravy, frankly.
Still, we wanted to do more than toasties and a cuppa. Because disabled people are capable, creative, dynamic and responsive to opportunity. Our team proves exactly that, week-in and week-out.
They just turn up. Professional, passionate and ready to serve others.

So, Coffee goes with Oranges? Let us explain 🍊
Chef Carlos, who hails from Colombia - has brought an innovation from the specialty coffee houses of Bogota and Medellin - all the way to Archie.
The Result: Our Zesty Orange Iced Cold Brew. Fresh, delicious, enlivening, and... collaborative.
While there's always someone leading the team, at Archie - everybody is called 'chef' in our kitchen. Because everyone contributes. Everyone creates. Everyone is valued.

There's another new face in the Archie kitchen: Chef Carlos 👋
Originally from Colombia, Carlos worked with Chef Kya for several years at Zazata Restaurant at the Ovolo, where he built a reputation for being reliable, talented, and seriously good in the kitchen.
He’s a plating whiz, loves an organised and economical workflow, and he’s already making a positive impact alongside our supported employees, including Connor and Kirsty.
As Archie grows into all-day trade from 10am–8pm, Wed–Sun, we’re so glad to have him on the team. His presence has steadied the kitchen and gives Chef Kya more space to do what she does best: create.
Next time you see him, say ¡Hola!

Kuchisabishii - Japanese for “lonely in the mouth”, when you're longing for something delicious. To get chomping.
It's no longer a problem during your 'Hump-Day Hungries', because Archie is NOW OPEN ALL DAY WEDNESDAY from 10am to 8pm!
Which means you can roll in or 'uber-eats' us, whenever the craving hits and let our awesome supported workers sort you with a Japanese Katsu Curry Burger.
Our team is different. We do not pay “disability percentage wages” - we offer real wages for real work. And the chefs leading our kitchen are the real deal. By choosing to eat with us, you’re not just keeping disabled workers employed, you're living in the passion for food that absolutely slaps.
Come hungry. Stay for the vibes. Leave less lonely in the mouth.
