I lead the Hummingbirds Team in store, and Wednesday to Sunday we take great pleasure in meeting and greeting our wonderful customers who come from near and far to shop, or to sit and unwind whilst enjoying our wholesome and healthful foods, organic coffees and teas taking in our fabulous music and warm and friendly atmosphere. Sometimes they do both making a shopping day a leisurely one.

No day is the same for us, making it most often exciting, sometimes challenging but always rewarding as we go about our business bringing you the best of a range of whole foods, coffee, teas, herbs, spices, breads, specialty books, cleaning products, skin and hair care and the occasional gift items. Did I mention coconut ice-cream or Buchi kombucha? These are MUST try items and personal favourites of mine so please let me share these with you when you visit.

Generally there is no need to book a table when you visit us but if you have a special celebration, or a special work lunch, be sure to call ahead and book a table (maximum of 12) so you won’t be disappointed.

Let me introduce the Hummingbirds Team

Erin is our lead cook. Erin is well experienced in bringing delightfully delicious foods to the table. She is also experienced in working with food allergies and preferences so if you have particular needs please tell us when you are ordering. Erin delights in meeting customers when she has a minute so you may be lucky enough to see her when she pops her head out of the kitchen.

Olivia is our lead barista and loves to gift you with her coffee art, gorgeous smile and contagious laugh. She is a true delight to us and to our regulars. She can make a cloudy day sunny just being in it, and as you walk through our door she will usually be the first to make you feel at home.

Abby is our talented and creative “can do anything” girl….On any given day she can be the barista, the cook, on the front counter, creating our house granola or house chai, finding new ideas and even trouble shooting. She is bright and fun and we love her warmth, her generosity, her smile and know that you will enjoy her company too.

Naomi comes in on Saturdays – so only our lucky Saturday customers get to meet her as she is still in school studying hard – well, we hope she is! We know she loves her job and works very hard in our busy kitchen but loves even more to get out front where the real fun is. You will know her by her calm gracefulness.

Tilly works mostly off site supporting me with the fiddly things that need to get done – updating menus, the social media pages, and the web page. She is also the music maestro, the book selector, the product finder, the gatherer of herbs and spices, the researcher and information guru, and the decorator. If it’s in the shop she has almost always tried it and has been convinced it may be of benefit to you. She welcomes your feedback and reviews, and any product recommendations you have so feel free to drop her a line at our email address.

We look forward to welcoming you into the nest!
