| - Welcome to Fantail, a brand new family owned and operated business in Roncesvalles :)
Jarra and Michelle are siblings, and Holly is their first cousin. All three of these New Zealanders have artistic backgrounds. Jarra does fine woodworking and is responsible for the beautiful wood tables you see in the café. Holly, a painter and illustrator, and Michelle, a fashion designer, have been able to showcase their artistic talents by designing and creating the entire interior of the café. It isn't just the food that is well crafted!
The prequel to Fantail was Holly and Michelle's baking business called Bakeress. The focus of Fantail is the same as Bakeress, quality ingredients that taste as good as they look, but they decided to add a savoury element. You will find organic, vegan, and gluten free options, plus direct trade coffee.
I had the savoury muffin which was one of their best sellers of the day. It had a subtle spicy kick to it, a great way to start the day!
If you follow them on Facebook, you get a sneak peak of what is being prepped for the next day. I want to go back today for a banana caramel filled donut!
Don't forget about the baristas, Grace and Max, who are also from New Zealand.
