Nestled in the heart of Naracoorte, #Craig's Bakehouse and Café has become more than just a #coffee spot; it's a community hub where local mothers gather to share their lives and support each other. Every Thursday morning, as #Craig's fills with the aroma of freshly brewed #coffee and baked goods, a lively group of #mothers convenes at their favourite corner table, ready to chat, laugh, and share the joys and challenges of #motherhood.
Craig's has always prided itself on being more than just the Naracoorte #Bakery and Café—it's a place where relationships are nurtured, and community bonds are strengthened. When the local mothers’ group was looking for a new venue to host their weekly meetings, Craig’s opened its doors with open arms. The spacious #bakehouse, with its comfortable seating and warm, inviting atmosphere, was the perfect fit.
The group, known among the staff as "The Mums of Naracoorte," includes first-time mothers, seasoned parents, and everything in between. Their meetings at Craig's are a cherished time for personal connection and mutual support. Over cups of Craig’s signature coffee and plates of hand-made pastries, these women exchange stories from their parenting journeys, discuss local news, and swap tips on everything from baby milestones to managing busy schedules.
Craig’s staff, recognising the importance of this gathering, often prepare little treats for the group’s little ones and ensure the coffee is always piping hot. The café's commitment to using locally sourced, natural ingredients resonates well with the mothers, who value quality and sustainability. It's not uncommon to see the group sampling Craig’s latest offerings—the seasonal fruit tarts and custom-decorated cookies are particularly popular.
The impact of these meetings goes beyond just coffee and conversation. The mothers’ group has evolved into a vital support network, organising community initiatives and charity events, all planned from their corner at Craig’s. Their presence adds a vibrant energy to the café, attracting other patrons who appreciate the lively, family-friendly environment.
For many of these mothers, Thursday mornings at Craig's are a highlight of their week—a chance to unwind and connect with friends who understand the highs and lows of parenting. "It’s like a breath of fresh air," says Emma, a regular member of the group. "No matter how challenging the week has been, I always leave Craig’s feeling uplifted and supported."
Craig’s Bakehouse & Café is proud to be a part of these mothers' lives and to serve as a gathering place where they can feel at home. We are more than just a stop along the road; we are a destination where community thrives and lifelong friendships are forged.
